Lady Rockets close district slate with win at Trigg

CADIZ, Ky. – Despite only three wins this season, Trigg County was ready for the Lady Rockets Monday and took Crittenden County to the wire in a game that was probably closer than most expected. 

It was tight most of the first half and Trigg led for a moment, but CCHS jumped ahead by 17 points when Elliot Evans scored eight points during a 12-4 run in the third quarter. Trigg rallied back in the fourth period, however, cutting the Lady Rocket margin to single digits before the Crittenden girls won it by a dozen, 56-44, to complete their regular-season Fifth District play.

Crittenden improved to 14-10 on the season and 4-2 in league games. Trigg is now 3-18 overall and winless in district play with its final Fifth District game set for Tuesday at home against league-leading Lyon County. If the Lyon girls win, they clinch the regular-season crown and the No. 1 seed for the post-season tournament at Eddyville.
