Second chance points by Crestview were a big factor in Saturday\u2019s 50-43 win over county rival Van Wert in the regular season finale for both teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite missing three starters due to injuries, the Lady Knights controlled the boards on the offensive end in the first half and turned several missed shots into points, including the first seven points of the game. Crestview (18-3) led 14-7 at the end of the first quarter, with Cali Gregory scoring six points and Laci McCoy adding four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe knew rebounding was going to be a strength of theirs and we tried to minimize that but in the first half that was a struggle for us,\u201d Van Wert head coach Hannah Phlipot said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCoy and Raegan Hammons each had eight rebounds in the game, with five of McCoy\u2019s coming on the offensive end. While Van Wert (8-11) closed the rebounding gap in the second half, Crestview still had a 26-21 advantage on the boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was very proud of our effort today,\u201d Crestview head coach Mark Gregory said. \u201cReagan and Laci did a great job on the boards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gregory scored six more in the second quarter and Olivia Cunningham put in five to boost Crestview\u2019s lead to 27-16 at halftime. Sofi Houg accounted for all nine of Van Wert\u2019s second quarter points. Each team scored 12 points in the third quarter, giving the Lady Knights led 40-28 entering the final period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van Wert\u2019s Jaylyn Rickard scored eight of her 14 points in the fourth quarter, including a pair of treys. Houg finished with 13 points and Kyra Welch added nine points, five rebounds and four assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been giving Jay the green light all year and she knocked down some big shots for us,\u201d Phlipot said. \u201cSofi took over and kept us in the second quarter and the game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI thought we did a pretty nice job overall on defense,\u201d Gregory said. \u201cWe lost a shooter a few times, but overall very happy. Credit Van Wert for making shots and making us work hard at both ends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cali Gregory led all scorers with 19 points, Bailey Gregory finished with 10 and McCoy and Olivia Cunningham added nine and eight points respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crestview, the No. 1 seed at the Division IV Defiance district, has a bye and will host the winner of Wednesday\u2019s Stryker\/Fayette winner at 7 p.m. Saturday, while Van Wert will travel to Lima to face Shawnee in the Division II sectional semifinals at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis was our third game of the week after a very emotional game on Thursday for our conference,\u201d Gregory said. \u201cOur girls are ready for a couple days off. We will get back to work on Tuesday and maybe get a player or two back for tourney.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a challenge, a challenge our girls are up for,\u201d Phlipot said. \u201cWe beat them during the regular season but this is a whole new season. We\u2019re going to be prepared for them but we know they\u2019re going to want some revenge from the first game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
