Caldwell blanks Rockets 49-0

PRINCETON, Ky. – Caldwell County came into the game 0-3 and was perhaps the best winless team in all of Class 3A. The Tigers took out some early-season frustrations on the Rockets, whitewashing Crittenden 49-0.

The Tigers scored on their first three possessions and never looked back.

A bright spot was senior receiver Ethan Hunt, who continues an assault on local school records and will certainly remain among the state's top receivers. He was No. 1 in Class A going into the game and No. 12 in all of Kentucky. Against Caldwell, Hunt caught five balls for 55 yards. The Rockets finished with 52 yards through the air and just 50 on the ground.

Perhaps Crittenden can get back on track next week as it hosts Webster County for homecoming. The Rockets have beaten the Trojans the last seven times they've met.
