Rockets improving, but fall to Union

Drake Young takes a shot against Union County.

MARION, Ky. – Starting to find its offense, Crittenden County improved from its first outing of the season, but lost it second game in a row, falling 61-44 to Union County at Rocket Arena.

CCHS led early and had it not been for a Union three at the buzzer would have led at the end of the first period. However, the Braves – playing with out two starters because its football team in headed to the state championship – picked up steam and raced out to a 20-point lead by the third period. 

Senior CamRon Belcher led the Rockets with 18 points and was the only Rocket in double figures.

The Rockets have beaten Union County only three times in the last 17 meetings. 

Crittenden will open Fifth District play Tuesday at Trigg County.
