Rockets fall to Lyon after close first half

CCHS's Travis Champion wins this one to
the basket against Lyon's Travis Perry.

MARION, Ky. – Crittenden County faced Lyon County for the final time during the regular season and after a close first half, bowed to the league-leading Lyons 92-58.

The Rockets led briefly in the first period, but Lyon deployed its full-court press and created some problems for CCHS. The Lyons went ahead in the second period for good and never looked back. A 13-8 run out of the chute in the second half opened their lead, and by the start of the fourth period it was a 20-point game.

CCHS junior Preston Morgeson dropped six threes, four in the first half, to keep the game tight for a time. He finished with 19 and Travis Champion had 17.

Lyon’s Travis Perry scored seven threes and finished with 28. Jackson Shoulders had 21 for the Lyons.

The Rockets, now 10-12 overall, fell to 2-4 in wrapping up regular-season district play. The Lyons, undefeated in district action, will close out league play Tuesday at Livingston Central. The Lyons are 16-5 overall.
