Lyons blitz cold shooting Rockets

Crittenden County shot poorly and Lyon County dominated the teams' second meeting of the year, beating the Rockets 63-44.

The Rockets had defeated Lyon at Eddyville a couple of weeks ago in a one-basket game, but this time Lyon and stalwart Ty Rogers had the upper hand.

Crittenden shot very poorly throughout the game and after trailing by 10 at the half, the Rockets stumbled out the break as Rogers scored eight quick points. Lyon led by as many as 27 during the third quarter. Rogers finished with 29 points and no Rocket reached double figures. (See scoring summary)

The loss means Crittenden and Lyon are now tied for first place in the Fifth District, each sporting 6-1 marks in the league. It was also Crittenden's first loss at home this year and its first loss of a regular-season game. The Rockets lost three games during holiday tournament play at Daviess County.

They could meet again next week in the All A Classic at Trigg County.
