Freshman guard Taylor Guess, an all-region performer this year, figures to be one of the 2nd Region’s top players next season after averaging 17.8 points a game this season. Guess also grabbed 6.9 rebounds a night.
Meanwhile, junior Nahla Woodward gave the Lady Rockets an inside presence this season at 9.2 points and a team-best 8.0 boards a contest.
Another freshman guard, Natalie Boone, helps insure Crittenden has a strong backcourt for years to come. Boone tossed in 7.1 points a game while shooting 37.5 percent from 3-point range.
Junior Jaelyn Duncan scored 6.9 points a contest while classmate Chandler Moss added 4.9.
Sophomore Grace Driskell netted 2.5 points a game.

Crittenden’s All A regional run this season fell short in the semifinals with a 49-46 setback to Caldwell County.
In the 5th District tournament at the end of the season, Crittenden defeated Livingston Central 48-35 in the semifinals. However, the Lady Rockets fell to Trigg County in the championship game 48-40.
