Davis’ goal, which beat McMichael’s Austin Irby, came at the 78-minute mark.
McMichael, 2-1, struck first with a Riley Shelton goal 12 minutes into the contest.
“We came out with a typical Monday game and the first day of school,” said RCHS coach Reg Gentle. “However McMichael played very well and I was very impressed with their play.”
At the 30-minute mark, Rockingham’s Ethan Ellington got the visitors on the scoreboard and tied the game at 1-1.
“Tying the game gave us some enthusiasm and momentum heading into the second half,” added Gentle.
Each team recorded eight shots. For RCHS, Taylor Witty made five saves in net and Irby recorded four saves.
