Lyon upsets Lady Rockets in All A semifinal

EDDYVILLE, Ky. – Crittenden County lost a heartbreaker in overtime at Lyon County Thursday, spoiling the Rocket girls’ hopes of defending their Second Region All A Classic title.

The game was close the entire way and Crittenden took a one-point lead with 6 seconds left when eighth-grader Anna Boone dropped in two foul shots. However, Lyon got to the foul line itself with 0.9 on the clock and Calista Collins hit the back end of the double bonus to send the game into OT.

From there, Crittenden was scoreless and Lyon claimed a berth in the Second Region small-school championship game scheduled for Saturday against Livingston Central.

There were 49 fouls called in the game, and neither team shot well from the line nor the floor. CCHS made just 19 of 34 at the stripe.
