Crittenden County had some nice offensive runs against Hopkins Central Tuesday, but couldn’t find a hot hand down the stretch at home, and let a third-quarter lead disappear in a 59-49 loss to the Storm.
Hopkins Central, featuring Marcus Eaves, the seventh-leading scorer in the state, didn’t find is offensive rhythm either, and Crittenden had a chance. The Rockets trailed by five at the break, but Travis Champion and Preston Morgeson tagged team for a couple of three-pointers early in the third period to touch off a scoring spurt and a four-point lead.
However, Hopkins Central roared back with a 10-0 run to retake a six-point advantage two minutes later.
The Rockets tried to shoot themselves back into it after failing behind by double digits in the final period, but missed a handful of threes down the stretch before falling to 10-13 on the season.
Eaves finished with just 14 points for Hopkins Central, half his average. The Storm improved to 10-9.
