Lady Rockets suffer first loss of season

SCOTTSVILLE, Ky. – Losing for the first time this season, the Lady Rockets were outmanned in most positions Tuesday afternoon, falling 67-47 to Frederick Douglass in the opening game of the Allen County-Scottsville South Central Bank-Halton Classic.

Frederick Douglass is a 5A school in classified sports, and had plenty of horses to back up their now 8-2 record. The Lady Broncos have won seven straight with a frontline that featured a long and tall six-footer and a strong 5-foot-10 forward. Frederick Douglass got a dozen offense boards in the first half and dominated the game inside en route to an 11-point halftime lead.

Crittenden junior stalwart Taylor Guess scored 18 of the girls’ first-half points and finished with 33. Otherwise, the Lady Broncos defense held CCHS at bay. In the second half, Frederick Douglass hit five three-pointers to pull away comfortably. 

The Lady Rockets (8-1) will play either Metcalfe County or Bardstown in Wednesday’s consolation bracket.
