Rockets close out regular season with loss

BARDWELL, Ky. – Although the Rocket basketball team’s struggles continued as it closed out the regular season on the road Friday, sophomore Bryson Walker continued to put up big numbers. 

In an 81-51 loss at Carlisle County, Walker dropped 36 points, including seven three-pointers.

Only four other players scored for CCHS as the team finished 3-24 on the season. Carlisle closed out at 19-10. 

Walker has averaged almost 19 points a game this season.

For the Rockets, hampered by injuries, it was a season full of challenges, particularly the early loss of leading scorer Travis Champion to a knee injury. 

CCHS’s three wins are the fewest in a season since the team was 3-22 in 1992-93. Since consolidation in 1957, Crittenden has turned in eight seasons with three or fewer wins, including an 0-24 campaign in 1990-91.
