Brecht had touchdown runs of 10 and 36 yards in the first quarter, a five yarder in the third quarter and another 36 yard scoring run in the fourth quarter. He now has 121 carries for 912 yards and 11 touchdowns this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Brecht\u2019s performance, Crestview\u2019s defense held Bluffton\u2019s triple option attack to 109 yards rushing, including just 10 yards on nine carries by Tucker Neff, who entered the game leading all conference rushers with 687 yards on 84 carries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe did a great job playing our assignments,\u201d Crestview head coach Jared Owens said. \u201cI think we continue to improve on the defensive side of the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Knights piled up 388 yards rushing on 46 carries to go along with 79 yards through the air. Kaden Short completed 3 of 6 passes for 75 yards and ran for 62 yards on 10 carries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a 14-yard touchdown run by Caylib Pruett and two of Brecht\u2019s scoring runs, the Knights led 20-7 after the first quarter, despite having to wait out an hour long lightning delay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Leading 28-7 in the third quarter, Kaden Short added to Crestview\u2019s lead with a 33 yard touchdown run, then Brecht closed the scoring with his second 36 yard touchdown run with 11:41 left in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI thought we had a great energy about us tonight to start the game,\u201d Owens said. \u201cWe were very solid in all three phases in a game that we had to come back from the weather interruption, which sometimes can be tough to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bluffton quarterback Nate Schaadt fired two fourth quarter touchdown passes, one to Tyson Shutler for 61 yards and the other for nine yards to Baylor Garmatter. He completed 8 of 20 passes for 168 yards, two scores and an interception. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Knights (3-2) will play at Columbus Grove on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
