Rockets fall by 21 in tournament semifinal

HODGENVILLE, Ky. – Crittenden County couldn’t get going offensively and lost 61-40 in the semifinal round of the Magnolia Bank Holiday Classic against host Larue County (8-2).

The Rockets (5-3) gave up some size to the Hawks and were unable to match the home team’s patience and success on offense. Larue deployed various zones to hold the Rockets to their second lowest scoring production of the season. 

The Rockets’ second-leading scorer on the season, Preston Morgeson, got in a bit of foul trouble which didn’t help the Rockets as they tried to catch up late in the game. He finished with just three points. Travis Champion led the way with 20, but CCHS got virtually no offense from the post.

Crittenden will play in the third-pace game at 4:30pm (CST) Thursday against either Grayson County or Rockcastle County.
