Still going after all these years

Tim Hill and Payton Croft, two Crittenden County High School graduates, have been playing basketball together since they were in elementary school. Now, as college juniors, the two were teammates on the No. 9 intra-mural team in the country.

Their dormitory team, Hart College, was second in the Murray State Intra-Mural Tournament, qualifying it for the regionals in Mississippi. There, another second place finish sent the team to the North Carolina State for the national finals. They lost in the round of 16, but finished ninth overall by virtue of a points system.

Croft and Hill graduated from CCHS in 2005. Hill (23) is pictured back left and Croft (21) back center.

We'll have more details on the sports page of The Crittenden Press this week.
