Notes
This week’s matchup will be the 699th game to take place in
the history of the Crittenden County High School football program.
In the last two games, Fulton County and Caverna have run 33 and 30 offensive plays, respectively. In the last 383 Crittenden County football games dating back to 1987, there has only been one other occurrence of Crittenden County opponents having 33 or less offensive plays in back to back games (week 3 and 4 of the 2013 season).
Before the Fulton County game,
the most points ever scored in five consecutive quarters of play by the Rockets
was 99. During the five consecutive
quarters involving the entire Caverna game two weeks ago and the first quarter
of the Fulton County game, the Rockets scored 104 points.
In the first quarters of the past
two games, CC has scored 72 combined points.
Only one time in the history of Rocket football has CC scored more
points in back to back games' first quarters which occurred in week 7 and week 8
of the 2010 season when 75 points were scored.
The Rockets had four rushing
touchdowns and three passing touchdowns last week. That is the sixth time in the past nine games
the Rockets have recorded at least three rushing TDs and two passing TDs in the
same game. The Rockets have recorded at
least three rushing TDs and two passing TDs in the same game 43 times in school
history with only four of those occurring before the 2000 season.
CC opponents are attempting on
average 25.0 passes a game this season.
In no other season have the Rockets’ opponents averaged more than 24.2
pass attempts per game.
The Rockets have not allowed a
point to be scored in the second quarter this season. That is six consecutive games without
allowing a second quarter point which has not been done since weeks 1-6 of the 1975
season.
Over the past 49 games, the
Rockets have only been held scoreless in the second quarter five times while
the Rocket defense has held its opponent scoreless 24 times including last
week.
Crittenden County has won eight
homes games in a row dating back to last season. The school record is eleven which the Rockets
could tie during this season with home wins over Paducah Tilghman and in the
first two rounds of the playoffs (assuming the Rockets are the district #1
seed). Crittenden County won 11 home
games in a row from the 1985 to the 1986 seasons.
