MARION, Ky. - Despite leading by 16 early and by six with six minutes to play, Crittenden County’s girls lost at home for the first time in nearly two years Tuesday, falling 64-61 to Christian County in a matchup between two of the top teams in the Second Region.
First-half foul problems and Christian County’s depth weighed heavy on the Lady Rockets as they watched their big lead disappear by early in the third quarter. In the second half, Christian County won the inside game, controlling the boards, and made key foul shots down the stretch. The Lady Colonels scored 8 points at the stripe in the closing period.
Crittenden sophomore Anna Boone led all scorers with 28 points and Christian sophomore guard Anaysia Bagwell had 25 as the Lady Colonels improved to 12-8. The Lady Rockets are now 12-9 and will play a key Fifth District game Friday at Lyon County (13-7).
Prior to Tuesday, the Lady Rockets had not lost at home since Feb. 12, 2022 against Union County.
