Even though Crittenden County has only won four times against Murray (technically three if you count 1963 as a tie), the Rockets may have made the most of their opportunities and been victorious in the three most important matchups. The 1963 “tie”, which ended up being with CC taking the win on a tie breaker, was for the Region 1 title. In 1999, the opening game of the season pitted the Rockets against the no. 7 Tigers. The Rockets won in OT on a 21-yard Brad Madden field goal. That win started a streak of eight consecutive wins to start the season which, at the time, was the best start in school history. In 2002, even though favored by seeding, CC seemed to be the underdog in everyone’s mind after earlier in the season CC lost to Ballard Memorial which later would easily be beaten by Murray. Crittenden County pulled out a muddy 18-8 win by holding eventual Murray State All-American player, Nathan Williams, to only 23 rushing yards.
