SMITHLAND, Ky. – Winning at Livingston Central has rarely come easy for Crittenden County, but Friday night’s trip proved to be anything but troublesome as the Lady Rockets rolled to a 74-30 Fifth District victory.

Crittenden overwhelmed Livingston from the opening tip, using early 3-point shooting and a relentless full-court press to sprint to a 10-0 lead and a commanding 30-6 advantage after one quarter. The Lady Rockets continued to pile it on in the second period, taking a 46-14 lead into halftime.

Livingston Central, which returned just one starter from last season’s squad, never found an answer. A running clock was used throughout the second half, allowing Crittenden to empty its bench while maintaining control.

Crittenden beat Livingston for the sixth straight time and improved to 4-1 with the district win and will travel Saturday to McCracken County for the Holiday Hoopla, where the Lady Rockets face Calloway County at 1 p.m. 

Livingston Central dropped to 0-2, losing to the Lady Rockets for the 13th time in 14 encounters.
