Lady Rockets win big matchup at Union

 MORGANFIELD, Ky. – Despite a rocky road down the home stretch, Crittenden County won a big matchup at Union County Saturday night 60-53.

It was showdown between teams ranked in the top four in the region in RPI. Crittenden is No. 2 and Union No. 4, and they could see one another again in the regional tournament later this month, which will be at Morganfield.

The Bravettes scored five of their seven three-pointers in the first half and led until right before the half when CCHS reeled off a 12-0 run to take a one-point lead by the break.

The Lady Rockets came out strong early in the second half and built an 11-point lead, but hit a difficult spot in the fourth period that allowed the hosts to pull to within one.

Freshman Anna Boone gave Crittenden a lift with a couple of late threes to seal the deal as CCHS won its 21st game against just four losses. Boone finished with 15 and senior Taylor Guess led the way with 28, most of them coming in the first half.

Union County fell to 16-9
