For the first time in seven years, Crittenden County's boys' basketball team is heading to the regional tournament. A buzzer basket by Travis Gilbert helped the Rockets overcome a 12-point second-half deficit Tuesday night to beat Liviingston Central in the Fifth District semifinal.

The regional tournament is next week at Madisonville.
