Lady Rockets beat Logan in overtime

Jordyn Hodge and Logan County's Kyla
Bilyeu were players of the game. 

PRINCETON, Ky. – Lady Rocket sophomore Anna Boone and eighth-grader Jordyn Hodge led a fourth-quarter comeback Friday that took Logan County into overtime where Crittenden County prevailed 60-57 in a holiday basketball event at Caldwell County. 

Crittenden trailed most of regulation but took a lead with two minutes in regulation on a Hodge three-pointer. Boone had scored six straight points to pull CCHS close after falling behind by double digits.

Hodge scored five points in the overtime and sophomore Bristyn Rushing had tie other four.

Crittenden’s defense was good much of the way, but turnovers and periodic poor rebounding were chronic issues that the Lady Rockets overcame late. Logan County (6-3) featured 5-foot-11 center Kyla Bilyeu, who posed a challenge for CCHS inside. 

Boone scored a game-high 23 points and Bilyeu had 20. Hodge scored 18 for CCHS, including five threes. She was chosen Player of the Game.

CCHS improved to 6-3 and 31-year head coach Shannon Hodge pulled to wishing one victory of her 400th win. Fewer than 40 Kentucky high school girls’ basketball coaches have won more than 400.

The Lady Rockets will be back in action Dec. 28 at he FirstBank Holiday Bash at South Warren in Bowling Green. South Oldham is 7-2 and will be the first of four games CCHS will play there, including contests against Glasgow and Muhlenberg County.
