Snow could jeopardize final week of season

Crittenden County's boys (15-10) are scheduled to play Hopkins Central (12-15) on the road Monday and then host the same team on Tuesday in a varsity doubleheader at Rocket Arena.

With the winter storm forecast, it appears the final week of the regular season could be in jeopardy.

There is also a varsity doubleheader scheduled for Friday at Fort Campbell. The Falcon boys are 5-18 and the Lady Falcons are 4-22.

Hopkins Central's girls are 18-10 on the season, but only beat Crittenden (15-10) by five at Nortonville earlier this season.
