Lady Rockets lose at Hoptown

HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. – Outmanned with forward Andrea Federico out with an injury, Crittenden County couldn't hold onto an early lead and lost 74-62 at Hopkinsville.

The Lady Tigers quickness and rebounding helped them take the lead for good late in the third quarter and when CCHS leading scorer Anna Boone went down with an ankle injury late in the game, Hoptown prevailed. 

Crittenden led by five at the half thanks to good three-point shooting, but stopping Hopkinsville inside provided to be challenge. When CCHS deployed a zone offense in the second half, the Tiger girls shot over it.

Crittenden had three girls in double figures with eighth-grader Jordyn Hodge leading the way with 18.

The Lady Rockets fell to 16-12 with the loss while Hoptown improved to 9-9. CCHS hadn't loss to the Lady Tigers since COVID.

Boone's injury did not appear too serious. Federico is out until perhaps late next week.
