Lady Rockets still looking for No. 20

 MORTON'S GAP – The road to 20 wins will be no easier in the coming days as that elusive mark remains just out of reach for the Lady Rockets, who lost 55-35 on the road Tuesday at Hopkins Central.

Crittenden County (19-6) was outmaneuvered at every angle, falling behind by 10 in the first half and 15 in the third period. Hopkins Central’s size was an advantage on the offensive boards, and Crittenden missed some shots in the paint early and finished with just one three-pointer – Bristyn Rushing’s first shot of the game ­– which briefly gave Crittenden its only lead at 3-2.

Junior Anna Boone led CCHS with 14 points as the only Lady Rocket in double figures.

The girls host Henderson County on Thursday before playing Hopkinsville and Madisonville. Getting that 20th win won’t be easy down the stretch.
