Lady Rockets fall in All A semifinal

Jaelyn Duncan scored 15 to lead the Lady Rockets.

Crittenden County’s bid for a seventh All A Classic Second Region championship came up a bit short Thursday at Dawson Springs. The Lady Rockets lost 49-46 in a closely-contested finish against Caldwell County.

The Lady Rockets fell behind by 16 points early, but chiseled their way back and led by one point twice in the final minutes of the fourth period.

However, missed opportunities down the stretch, some at the foul line, allowed the Lady Tigers to scratch out a win in the final seconds. Crittenden was 14-for-21 at the free throw line, including a couple of late misses that could have helped close the gap.

Junior Jaelyn Duncan led the Lady Rockets with 15 points. Point guard Taylor Guess, who had just two points at the half, finished with 14 and junior center Nahla Woodward had 11.
