Rockets win regular-season finale
Payton Croft recorded his career high Tuesday night at Providence scoring 27 points and nailing eight treys to help lead the Rockets to an easy 77-45 win.

Nick Parker, Timmy Hill and Chris Findley also combined for four three-pointers to help Crittenden record its fourth straight victory while finishing the regular season slate at 16-8.

After leading 20-11 at the conclusion of the first quarter, the Rockets put the game away with a powerful 17-0 run to open up a 37-20 advantage.

Rocket coach Jimmy Croft was pleased with the way his troops came out and took care of business against the Bulldogs to cruise to the dominating performance.

However, a statistic which displeased him was the fact that his squad was outrebounded 54-39. Croft realizes that in order to enjoy a successful postseason, his team must be more of a factor on the backboards.
