Rockets, Lady Rockets both win in afternoon games

BOYS GET SEASON'S THIRD WIN

BENTON, Ky. – Crittenden County won for the third time this season, beating Christian Fellowship School 71-60 in comeback fashion on the road in a Saturday matinee game.

After falling behind by double digits early, Crittenden closed the gap just before halftime then held its own over the next eight minutes before making a strong run in the fourth quarter.

Bryson Walker scored 23 to lead the Rockets and center Jonah Reddick had perhaps hits best outing of the season with 16 points. Jaxon Hatfield added 11 before dislocating a finger. 

The Rockets are now 3-15 and will play at Trigg County Monday in a Fifth District makeup game then host Fort Campbell Tuesday and Paducah Tilghman Friday. They will play four games next week, closing out on the road Saturday at Todd Central.

Coach Matt Fraliex said the team may get senior forward Gabe Keller back late next week. He’s been out since the holidays with a broken hand.

CCHS has now defeated Christian Fellowship in eight straight times dating back to 2011.
