Rockets lose again by two points; Owen nets 24

Aaron Owen (2) works the perimeter during a game earlier this season.

Despite 24 points from senior guard Aaron Owen, Crittenden County lost its second straight game by two points at the McLean County Holiday Tournament. This time, Hopkins Central nipped the Rockets 51-49.

Owen had four 3-pointers in the game.

The game was close the entire way and Crittenden led by one point at the half.

Crittenden will play Mayfield at 2:30 p.m., Saturday at Owensboro Apollo, which is hosting the games because of damage to the McLean gym.
