Rockets lose to LCHS in pivotal matchup

MARION, Ky. – In a must-win situation for the Rockets in order to avoid a first-round playoff matchup with one of the best teams in Kentucky, Crittenden County fell behind Livingston Central by 21 in the second period Friday at home and lost 78-63.

The Cardinals sealed the league’s No. 2 seed and will get No. 2 Trigg County in the Fifth District Tournament opener later this month. 

Meanwhile, the Rockets will face Goliath Lyon County to open post-season play. The Rockets have one more district game to go – at Trigg County Monday – but no matter the outcome, Crittenden can finish no better than last in the four-team district standings.

The Rockets got 28 points from sophomore Bryson Walker in the loss, and Livingston sophomore Logan Wring scored 32 for the winners.

Crittenden falls to 2-15 on the season and Livingston improved to 8-12.
