At a Glance: Rockets host Russellville

BY ANDY HUNT
DISTRICT TITLE ON THE LINE




Stat of the Week
Though statistics are incomplete in earlier seasons, we do know that Crittenden County has trailed at the half in at least 210 games prior to last week.  Also prior to last week, we know of only 27 comebacks when the Rockets trailed at the half and were able to pull out a win.  Those statistics (27 comebacks and 210 times trailing at the half) meant there was only 12.9% chance that Crittenden County would win the game against Fulton County by coming back in the second half.
