Last-second shot spoils doubleheader sweep for CCHS

MARION, Ky. – A last-second three-pointer by Dawson Springs stopped Crittenden County short of sweeping a doubleheader Friday at Rocket Arena.

The Lady Rockets beat Dawson Springs 68-37 in the first match of the homecoming twinbill, but the Rockets were shocked by Rex Blue’s final shot in a 62-61 loss.

For the second straight game, Crittenden got very little offensive production other than from junior Travis Champion, who dropped 40 in the loss, and senior Preston Morgeson, who had 19. Senior Seth Guess was the only other Rocket to score. He had two points.

The loss to the Panthers was just the fourth for CCHS in the last 24 games dating back to 2010.

The girls dashed ahead by more than 20 in the first period and cruised to their win as 10 players got in on the scoring. Senior Taylor Guess led the way with 13 and freshman Elliot Evans had 11.

The Rocket girls improved to 20-4 on the season and will play at Union County Saturday night. The boys fell to 11-15, losing their fourth straight. Dawson's boys improved to 10-16.
