Lady Rockets lose lead and game in 4th

Anna Boone scored 27 points against Glasgow

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Inconsistent shooting continued to trouble the Lady Rockets in their second game at the FirstBank Holiday Bash in Bowling Green. Crittenden County built a double-digit lead early in the second half, but lost 53-48 as the game slipped away in the final three minutes. 

Foul trouble in the post and second-chance baskets by the opposition hurt CCHS’s chance to giving coach Shannon Hodge her 400th career win. Instead, the Crittenden girls watched their record fall to 6-5 on the season while the Scotties won for just the third time in a dozen games.

Anna Boone was the game’s top scorer with 27 points, but no other Lady Rocket had more than eight while Glasgow put three girls in double figures. Boone is averaging 20 points a game, but none of her teammates is scoring in double figures.

Crittenden led by four with about six minutes to play. Two straight CCHS turnovers against the pressing Scotties let Glasgow tie the game at the 3:43 mark. CCHS was outscored 11-6 down the stretch. 

Crittenden plays Muhlenberg County at 6pm Friday then there will be a seeded consolation game for them on Saturday.
