Unofficial best offensive game ever

Crittenden County junior Taylor Guess scored 49 points in a scrimmage game Wednesday at Ballard Memorial as the Lady Rockets won 78-37.

Because it was a scrimmage, the offensive effort isn't exactly official. If it was, however, that would be a new single-game record for the Lady Rockets.

The single-game scoring record for CCHS girls is 43 points by Crittenden County Hall of Fame basketball player Morgan Dooms in the 2003-04 season. 

In the history of CCHS hoops, the 40-point threshold has been eclipsed only four times by a Lady Rocket player.

Guess averaged 20 points per game last season and is one of the top returning players in the Second Region. Cats Pause magazine picked her as the No. 1 preseason player in the region. The Louisville Courier Journal has her at No. 3.
