Lady Rockets beat Trigg without 4th buckets

MARION, Ky. – For the third game in a row, Crittenden County did not score a field goal in the fourth quarter. Still, the Lady Rockets were able to hold off Trigg County, 50-38, on Tuesday in a Fifth District matchup.

In fact, CCHS is 3-0 during this stretch and improved to 13-3 with Tuesday's win.

Up by 30 in the third period, some wholesale substitutions for CCHS gave Trigg a chance to close the gap a bit. However, with just over a minute left, the Lady Rockets' starters returned to the floor and stopped the Wildcats, who fell to 2-9.

Andrea Federico and Jordyn Hodge led CCHS in scoring, each with 14 points. Federico scored all of hers in the first half, while Elliot Evans chipped in 10.

Being shut out in the final period isn't as big of a deal as it might seem because CCHS was way ahead in two of the games. The girls did score three foul shots Tuesday in the last period against Trigg and five points the same way the night before in their All A regional championship win over Lyon.
