Quick turn-around dooms Rockets at Trinity

WHITESVILLE, Ky. - In a tough turn-around match, the Rockets lost Saturday on the road at Whitesville Trinity 78-31.

After taking a licking in the All A Classic semi-final Friday night, Crittenden County had 14 hours to regroup and found fatigue overwhelming. Their troubles were magnified by the fact that three players were unavailable, including leading scorer Travis Champion who is out with an ankle injury and starter Jaxon Hatfield.


Crittenden fell behind by a dozen in the opening period, and it got worse from there as Whitesville accelerated the score with 12 three-pointers. 


Senior guard Preston Morgeson, the team’s second leading scorer on the season, led the Rockets with 18, more than half of his team’s total offensive production.


Trinity is 9-6 on the season, while the Rockets fall to 7-10.
