Rockets blast Fulton City 30-14
Crittenden overcomes 5 fumbles to win game, Moss scores 4 times

MARION, Ky. - Crittenden County's defense chewed up Fulton City as the Rockets overcame five turnovers to win the non-district homecoming game 30-14.

Demetric Moss rushed for his second straight 100-plus game, getting four touchdowns and 136 yards on the ground. Quarterback Sean Thompson threw for an even 100 yards on 3-of-5 accuracy and Ryan Bradham had 132 all-purpose yards, including a 76-yard kickoff return to start the game.

Bradham's big return at the opening whistle got the Rockets off to a quick start as Moss broke loose on the first play from scrimmage for a 15-yard touchdown run. The early points was just what the homecoming crowd wanted and it gave Crittenden plenty of momentum to squash the 1-6 Bulldogs.

Fulton City's offense was miserable and Crittenden's always tough defense took full advantage of the hapless 'Dogs. Crittenden pinned Fulton for negative yardage on 12 of its 25 plays from scrimmage, including minus-29 on two big sacks by senior defensive end Zack Beverly.

Fumbles continue to plague the Rockets as they put the ball on the turf seven times and lost five of those fumbles. Two were lost inside the red zone.The Rockets have now lost nine fumbles in the last two games and 18 in eight games this season. Opponents have lost 11 fumbles to the Rockets.


Rocket starters got to watch from the sideline in the fourth quarter as the second-teamers mopped up.
