\u201cWe shot the ball really well tonight and that\u2019s something we\u2019ve been working really hard at during practice,\u201d head coach Mark Gregory said. \u201cI feel like as the season\u2019s progressed we\u2019ve shot the ball well and have been very confident. I\u2019m really proud of our girls.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, Crestview was 23 of 42 (54 percent) from the floor, while holding the Lady Pirates to 8 of 37, or 21 percent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Already leading 4-0, Bailey Gregory hit three consecutive triples early in the first quarter to give the Lady Knights a 13-0 lead. Cunningham would later close the scoring with a trey that gave Crestview a 16-7 lead at the end of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pair of baskets by Bailey Gregory and one by Lexi Gregory would increase Crestview\u2019s lead to 22-7 in the second period and when the quarter ended, the Lady Knights had a 28-14 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cI thought we did a great job of limiting Continental\u2019s penetration, which they\u2019re very good at, and we also limited their second chance opportunities,\u201d Gregory said. \u201cAgain, that\u2019s something we\u2019ve gotten better at during the second part of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something (rebounding) we\u2019ve spent a lot of time on in practice and our girls have finally figured out that we\u2019re not going to grow any taller, and it\u2019s really more about heart and effort with rebounding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crestview held a commanding 30-13 rebounding advantage, with Lexi Gregory accounting for 10 of those to go along with 16 points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speith scored all seven of her points in the third quarter as the Lady Knights outscored Continental 17-6 and led 45-20 entering the final period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe played 11 girls tonight and every single one of them came in and checked out, were physical and their communication was fantastic,\u201d Gregory said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bailey Gregory hit two more treys in the fourth quarter and Olivia Cunningham hit one to start the continuous clock rule halfway through the period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lady Pirates were led in scoring by Kerri Prowant and Madi Sharp, who finished with seven apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continental\u2019s season came to an end at 4-18, while Crestview improved to 15-6 and set up a rematch with Wayne Trace in Saturday\u2019s 8 p.m. sectional championship game at Paulding High School. The two teams met on February 11, and Wayne Trace claimed a 51-46 victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019re a well coached team, they have a lot of great players and we\u2019re looking forward to the opportunity to play them again,\u201d Gregory said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday\u2019s Crestview-Wayne Trace game will air live on WKSD 99.7FM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
