Mayfield cut it to four at one point in the fourth period, but Crittenden stepped on the accelerator down the stretch to win going away.

Evans and Jordyn Hodge scored 10 apiece for CCHS, which improved to 4-1 on the season. 

Mayfield (2-1) was ranked No. 5 in a First Region preseason poll while CCHS was No. 7 in the Second Region.
