PADUCAH, Ky. – Rocket junior Travis Champion remains hotter than a jalapeño, registering his third straight game with 35 or more points as the Rocket came from behind to beat Hickman County Saturday afternoon in the McCracken County Organ Donor Shootout.
Champion dropped 38 points after Crittenden County started a little cool and fell behind by double figures.
The CCHS guard has now scored 38, 40 and 35 in the past three outings and he’s doing it off the dribble, from long range and at the line. His seven foul shots in the fourth period helped the Rockets hold off the Falcons for Crittenden’s fifth win the last six games. Champion also drained five threes.
Crittenden is now 11-11 on the season and will take some time off this week before hosting Lyon County Friday in its final Fifth District game of the season. The Lyons are undefeated in league play and the Rockets are in second place right now with just one district loss.
The Falcons fell to 7-14.
