CONVOY — It wasn\u2019t always pretty, but Crestview rolled past Fort Jennings 56-40 at Ray Etzler Gymnasium on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Leading 29-25 midway through the third quarter, the Knights enjoyed 10-0 run that essentially put the game out of reach for the visiting Musketeers. Carson Kreischer started it with a bucket, followed by a steal and layup by Derick Dealey, a layup by Wade Sheets, a triple by Javin Etzler and a steal and a basket by Kalen Etzler. Fort Jennings scored pair of baskets, but Kalen Etzler\u2019s offensive rebound and layup beat the third quarter buzzer and gave Crestview a 41-29 lead.<\/p>\n

The Knights scored the first six points of the fourth quarter, two on free throws by Javin Etzler, a crowd pleasing baseline dunk by Kalen Etzler and a basket by Wade Sheets. Later in the quarter, Kreischer hit a triple and Sheets had a pair of layups.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was pleased with the latter part of the second half, when we were better in a lot of areas,\u201d Crestview head coach Jeremy Best said. \u201cWe still just can\u2019t seem to find a rhythm offensively and you can say it\u2019s poor shooting, but it\u2019s a multitude of things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think our spacing is bad at times, our shot selection is bad at times, we look undisciplined at times, so all of things are something we\u2019ll continue to work on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fort Jennings led 6-2 on first quarter baskets by Ian Ricker and Carson Kazee and a pair of foul shots by Reese Van Sossan, but Crestview went on a 11-3 run to grab a 13-9 lead. Brant Richardson had a pair of foul shots, Drew Kline had a steal and a basket, Javin Etzler hit a bucket and a trey and Kalen Etzler scored off an alley oop dunk.\u00a0 Kline finished with nine points, all in the opening quarter.<\/p>\n

Both teams scored just nine points in a sluggish second quarter, and Best acknowledged Fort Jennings presented some challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cI give them a lot of credit,\u201d Best said. \u201cThey came in here and competed, they have some nice physical bodies and some kids that can do some things physically.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought their guard play play was pretty good, and they came in and played with a lot of purpose and didn\u2019t bat an eye,\u201d Best added.<\/p>\n

Sheets finished with a game high 15 points, while Kalen Etzler and Javin Etzler each scored 12. Von Sossan led the Musketeers with 11 points, followed by Ricker\u2019s 10.<\/p>\n

Crestview (4-1) will host Allen East on Friday, while Fort Jennings (1-5) will play at Ayersville the same night, then will host Lincolnview on Saturday.<\/p>\n
