Lady Rockets open with rhythmic 30-point win

Lady Rocket Bristyn Rushing (25) works to win
the ball during Tuesday's opening game.

MARION, Ky. – A well-tempered, rhythmic offense came out of the chute Monday night with remarkably balanced scoring and good ball movement to begin the season with a 30-point victory over an improved Caldwell County girls’ squad.

Crittenden more than doubled the Lady Tigers’ scoring in the opening period, then rolled to a 69-39 victory as a warmup for what the Lady Rockets will face ahead. Over the coming week, Crittenden will run the gamut – playing two of the top three teams in the First Region and Breckinridge County, a Third Region perennial power.

Crittenden will need to keep clicking offensively facing those stalwarts. Against Caldwell, the Rocket girls dropped seven threes as sophomore Jordyn Hodge led the scoring with 17. Seniors Anna Boone and Elliot Evans added 12 and 10, respectively, and CCHS got 17 points from the pivot between Bristyn Rushing and Morgan Stewart. Senior forward Andrea Federico added nine.

Caldwell County 11 23 30 39

CALDWELL – Clark 9, Thomas 8, Thompson 8, Whitaker 5, Shearer, McCoy 8, Hawkins 1. 3-pointers 1 (Thomas). FT 12-21.
CRITTENDEN – Boone 12, Evans 10, Hodge 17, Federico 9, Rushing 8, Holeman, Stewart 9, Berry 2, Champion 2, Grau, Rich, Kemmer. 3-pointers 7 (Boone 2, Evans 2, Hodge 2, Federico). FT 8-10.
