MORTON’S GAP – Second- and third-chance baskets played a big role in Hopkins Central’s victory of the Lady Rockets Tuesday.
The hosts scored nine points off three-pointers and about a dozen in the paint to take a 17-point lead in the first period. However, Crittenden scraped its was back into the game with strong defense and heavy scoring by freshman Anna Boone and Elliot Evans in the second period.
Although CCHS was within two points twice and one point once in the fourth period, it couldn’t get a key stop when absolutely necessary and the Lady Storm won the highly-watched game between two of the Second Region’s top three teams.
Anna Boone and senior Taylor Guess each finished with 24 for Crittenden and Evans had 13.
Hopkins Central had five girls in double figures and improved to 21-7 on the season. They came into the contest ranked No. 3 in the KHSAA Second Region power rankings. Neither team had lost in the region coming into the matchup.
Crittenden, who was No. 2 in the rankings, fell to 21-5 and will close out its regular season Friday at Hopkinsville.
