Rockets fall 82-29 at Apollo

OWENSBORO, Ky. – A long road trip to Owensboro Apollo Saturday turned into a difficult pill to swallow as the Rockets fell behind early and lost 82-29.

Shorthanded due to injury and illness, Crittenden never found it rhythm.

The good news is several young players got into the game and earned some invaluable experience. Crittenden was behind 51-8 at the half and was a never a threat to the much stronger Eagles (5-1).


For the winless Rockets, freshman Drake Young led the way with 11 points, which included three treys. He was the only Crittenden player in double figures.


The Rockets will be at Eddyville Tuesday for a district game against Lyon County, ranked No. 21 in Kentucky.
