At home, Rockets fall to Trigg

Senior Jonah Reddick (32) joined the team for
the first time after an illness and surgery.

MARION, Ky. – With center Jonah Reddick back following surgery, the Rockets had hoped for a better outcome against Trigg County Tuesday night at Rocket Arena.

After all, CCHS had taken the Wildcats to overtime in their first meeting last month in Cadiz.

However, Trigg jumped ahead 23-7 and finished off a 65-41 Fifth District win, the Wildcats’ second district win of the season. Meanwhile, the Rockets remain winless after a dozen games.

Reddick, a 6-foot-5 senior, posted up and backed into a defender for a turnaround five-footer with 2:36 left in the third quarter. That closed the gap to 11, but Trigg dropped four threes before the quarter’s end, and CCHS never got close again.
