Trigg County accomplished a rarity Friday -- their first doubleheader sweep at Crittenden County in 20 years.
The Lady Wildcats beat Crittenden 46-32, getting their first-ever win in Rocket Arena in 11 career games (1-8 vs. Crittenden). Trigg used a 16-5 run to end the game and move to 2-0 on the season. Khadijah Grubbs had 16 points and seven rebounds, while Lee Lee Grubbs and Alyssa Maxey each had 11 points.
Crittenden County (1-2, 0-1) got 14 points from Bailey Brown.
Trigg scored 17 points off 23 Crittenden turnovers and outrebounded the Lady Rockets 38-30.
The win was Trigg County's first over a reigning region champion since 1994 when they knocked off Caldwell County.
The 2-0 start to the season is Trigg's first in seven years. They look for their first 3-0 start since 1993-94 when they host Hopkins County Central Monday.
