Change in Rocket football schedule

There has been a change in the 2022 Rocket football schedule that was released earlier this summer. A team from Maryland that was scheduled to play here Sept. 16 has canceled due to rising cost of fuel and other expenses associated with travel. 

Rocket football coach Gaige Courtney said Louisville Desales has been picked up to replace the canceled game, but it will be on a different date.

Crittenden was scheduled for a bye week on Oct. 28. The Desales game will be played on that date and the team’s bye week is now Sept. 16. The Desales game will be on of just four home games this season.

This will be a one-year contract with Desales. 

Rockets face interesting 2022 schedule

 Rocket football skipper Gaige Courtney has put together an interesting schedule for his second season as the CCHS head coach. 

While the slate includes some traditional neighboring opponents such as Webster County, Union County and Caldwell County and district games against Fulton County and Russellville, the Rockets will have some long-distance foes in 2022. 

A team from inner city Baltimore will be arriving in Marion in September. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel is a private Catholic school that put up some incredible offensive numbers last year en route to a 6-3 record. 
CCHS will face another out-of-state opponent Oct. 7 when it goes to Liberty Creek, Tenn., a new high school in Gallatin. This will be the Wolves first season as a team as the 700-student school is opening in August in the Sumner County School District. 

The schedule also includes Bethlehem, a perennial top 10 Class A team and Murray, a typical top 10 Class 2A team, plus Class 4A Madisonville. 

The team is conducting its Lift-a- Thon fundraising event this month. This year they’ve designed a way for local businesses to get involved in the competitive spirit. Players will be contacting local businesses soon with more information.
