The former Lancaster team, the Red Roses, folded and a new club took its place. George Eshelman, former Roses player and coach, was names head coach, and he brought a couple players back but the rest of the team was new to town. The Rockets were a much better team and started the season 7-2. Going into January, the team hit a small three-game skid and Eshelman was replaced with Max Bishop. Under Bishop, the Rockets regained their winning form and finished in first place in the Southern Division, but they would lose to Harrisburg in the semi-finals.
Head Coaches:
- George Eshelman (April 15, 1913 - June 14, 1989) 7-5
- Richard W. "Max" Bishop (June 27, 1915 - August 25, 1981) 11-5
