MARION, Ky. – Paducah Tilghman's quickness on offense and defense frustrated the Rockets Friday night in an 82-44 loss.

It was the annual homecoming and hall of fame game with ceremonies crowning the king and queen before the varsity contest and enshrinement of hall members at halftime.

On the court, it was also the first time former Rocket Avery Thompson returned to play in his hometown. He scored 5 points for Tilghman. The Paducah boys improved to 10-12.

Bryson Walker, who is averaging 18 points a game for the Rockets as a sophomore guard, scored 20.

Crittenden, now 3-17, plays on the road at Todd County Central Saturday night.
