Lady Rockets win, boys fall at Lyon

EDDYVILLE, Ky. – Crittenden County's boys were no match for the Lyons on this night.

The Rockets trailed early and watched the Lyon lead grow to 31 points before they trimmed back in the last few minutes of the contest.

The teams’ two all-region guards – Crittenden’s Gabe Mott and Lyon’s Travis Perry – finished at a draw with 20 points apiece, but Lyon won the battle at the rim.

The Rockets couldn’t get much going around the basket and missed some open jumpers, too. Lyon didn’t shoot particularly well either, but controlled he boards and finished on a number second and third opportunities at the basket.

It was Crittenden’s second district loss of the season after falling to Trigg a week earlier. Lyon improves to 2-0 in the district.
