Girls go down in Region 2 showdown

HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. – On the road in what’s always a tough environment at Christian County on Tuesday, the Lady Rockets lost for only the fifth time this season, falling 56-49 to the Lady Colonels in a showdown of two of the region’s best teams.

Christian was playing without junior Anaysia Bagwell, the team’s leading scorer with 16 points per game. And in the first period, the Lady Rockets found themselves without junior guard Elliot Evans, who went down with a recurring ankle injury.

The game was close the entire way, but Christian’s physical strength and rebounding helped it win. The Rocket girls had won nine of their previous 10 games before losing at Christian.
