| Rockets wore new pink uniforms Friday. |
Perhaps the coach's crystal ball sees further into the future than the next couple of weeks as the Rockets will have to play a very talented Ballard Memorial team next week before going to second-ranked Caldwell County – both are Class 2A district opponents, as was Murray. Maybe the coach looking to next year when Crittenden goes back to Class A (the proposed 2015 re-alignment is posted below).
Murray, the No. 6 team in the Class 2A, hammered the Rockets like a rag doll for the annual Pink Out game. Dressed in newly-unveiled pink jerseys, Crittenden went down in history-book fashion, losing 69-0. It was the worst home loss ever.
Murray scored on every offensive series except right before the half when time ran out on their offense. The Tiger defense scored twice and Murray's special teams scored another two times on punt returns.
The Rockets managed just 50 yards total offense – 36 of that came on a fake punt pass from Noah Dickerson to Alex Cosby. On the ground, Crittenden netted just 14 yards against Murray's heralded defense.
The Rockets are now 0-1 in the district and 4-3 overall. Even if Crittenden loses the next two in league play it will qualify for the playoffs in the four-team district. Murray is 5-2 and 2-0 in the district.
