Boone's state-leading FTs big in 1-point win

MARION, Ky. – Crittenden County sophomore Anna Boone has made more foul shots than anyone in Kentucky girls’ basketball this season and the Lady Rockets needed her at the line Tuesday in a 53-52 win over Hopkins Central.

Boone was 10-for-10 at the stripe, boosting her state-best made FTs to 189.

Crittenden led by 14 early, but Hopkins Central closed the gap by halftime with CCHS in a bit of foul trouble.

Crittenden has now won 4 of its last 5 games and two in a row, improving to 16-11 on the season with three games to go, including a road trip to Hopkinsville on Friday.

The Lady Storm is now 15-11 after losing the rematch of last year’s regional quarterfinal against Crittenden.

CCHS wipes out Union

Fueled by 24 points at the foul line and some key three pointers, Crittenden County wiped out Union County 63-43 Saturday in a rematch of a game CCHS lost by eight early in the season at Morganfield.

Three Lady Rockets scored in double figures with Anna Boone leading the charge with 18 points. Elliot Evans added 16 and Jordyn Hodge a dozen against a veteran Bravettes squad that fell to 12-11.

Crittenden has won three of its last four and is now 15-11 on the season with four regular-season contests to go.
