MORGANFIELD, Ky. – With two hands tied behind their backs in the final two and a half minutes Saturday night at Union County, the Lady Rockets still found a way to win, 51-46.
Crittenden County, now 19-5, has beaten the Bravettes in four of their last five meetings, including a 17-point victory in December. Union County falls to 13-9.
Coach Shannon Hodge has guided her squad to the brink of her fourth 20-win season in 32 years at the helm of CCHS, but No. 19 didn’t come easy. The Lady Rockets were already without junior Elliot Evans— out with an ankle injury—and leading scorer Annan Boone fouled out with 2:36 remaining as CCHS trailed by one.
The game was a battle of attrition, with Crittenden struggling to handle the ball and Union County struggling to finish around the basket. The Bravettes had led by as many as 10 points in the second half, and when Boone went to the bench, the Lady Rockets’ comeback hopes seemed in jeopardy.
However, Jordyn Hodge led a late surge, scoring 10 of her team’s final 12 points en route to an 18-point performance. Boone finished with 14.
Crittenden County returns to action Tuesday at Hopkins Central.
