MARION, Ky. – Outmanned from the start, Crittenden County’s upset bid in the All Classic fell well short of pay dirt as Lyon County cruised to a 90-30 win in the opening round of the All A Classic Tuesday at Rocket Arena.

Lyon County, last year’s Second Region small-school champion, improved to 6-4 and will advance to Friday’s semifinal round of the All A Classic. The Rockets remain winless in 11 games this season.

Crittenden trailed 44-11 midway through the second period before both teams substituted liberally in the second half. Andrew Candelario led CCHS with 8 points, courtesy of two three pointers.
