Lady Rockets win, advance to All A semis

MARION, Ky. – Crittenden County, the winningest Second Region team in All A Classic history, punched its ticket to the semifinal round on Monday with a 50-18 blowout over Dawson Springs.

The Lady Rockets, who have won eight small-school regional championships including last year's crown, will play final-four host Caldwell County at 6pm in Thursday’s semifinal. Caldwell beat Heritage Christian in similar fashion 52-3 in its opening round contest at Princeton on Monday.

Lyon County knocked off Livingston Central 56-42 in an opener at Lyon and will play Ft. Campbell in Thursday’s 7:30pm semifinal at Caldwell County. The Lady Falcons received a first-round bye because UHA did not field a team this season. 

Dawson Springs was terribly outmanned against the Lady Rockets, who led from the jump. Sophomore Anna Boone sank a couple of first-quarter threes to help CCHS race out to a 20-4 lead in the first period. Boone and Lady Rocket sophomore center Bristyn Rushing led all scorers with a dozen points apiece. Rushing had five fielders in the post and two free throws. 

CCHS moved back above .500 at 8-7 on the season. Dawson fell to 2-8. The Lady Rockets have beaten the Panther girls in 17 straight meetings dating back to 2013.
