Anna Boone is fouled during the
girls loss to South Oldham.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Down by 20 in the first half, Crittenden County scratched its way back to within five points against South Oldham Thursday before losing big 82-57 in the FirstBank Holiday Bash at South Warren High School. 

With a methodical two-headed offense, the Lady Dragons (8-2) outplayed Crittenden County (6-4) most of the way, but the Lady Rockets showed periods of life, particularly on a 16-8 run that brought them back into contention halfway through the third quarter. 

Sophomore Anna Boone scored 20 points to lead CCHS, and Oldham had two strong offensive threats, who finished with 27 and 24 points.

South Oldham was an Eighth Region semifinalist a year ago with a 19-9 record and returned the heart of the lineup.

Crittenden County plays Glasgow at 1:30pm and Muhlenberg County at 6pm on Friday.
