Rocket basketball in quarantine

Crittenden County’s boys basketball team will sidelined until Feb. 13 because a player the Rockets encountered on Tuesday during a game at Hopkins Central has been diagnosed with COVID-19.

Although both Crittenden County boys’ and girls’ have had to shuffle schedules this season due to opponents being quarantined, this is the first time a Crittenden County High School basketball team has been sidelined due to close-contact protocol. 

Crittenden will lose 3 games over the period it will be sidelined on quarantined. It was not immediately clear whether any of those games will be made up later. Opposing teams affected by cancelations are Graves County and Dawson Springs, twice. A game scheduled for Saturday against Tilghman was already called off because of a COVID issue at the Paducah school, and the same true for one next week against Hopkinsville. 

The Rockets are scheduled to play at Calloway County on Feb. 13.
