HARROD — The 1-2 punch of Allen East\u2019s Jacob Hershberger and Jack Hoel was too much for Crestview as the Mustangs handed the Knights their first defeat of the season, 42-14 in the Northwest Conference opener for both teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hershberger completed 14 of 20 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns and had 13 carries for 105 yards and another score, while Hoel ran for a touchdown and 109 yards on 17 carries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a team, Allen East (3-1, 1-0 NWC) finished with 383 yards of total offense, compared to 321 for Crestview (3-1, 0-1 NWC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mustangs set the tone with a pair of first quarter touchdowns \u2013 a three-yard run by Carter Young at the 9:31 mark and an nine-yard touchdown pass from Hershberger to Garrett Newland plus a two-point conversion that made it 14-0 with 2:49 left in the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Knights got on board shortly after that, when Nick Helt capped off a four-play, 88 yard drive with a 26-yard touchdown run, followed by Kaden Kreischer\u2019s extra point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hershberger tossed his second scoring pass of the night, an 18-yarder to Chase Miller, but Crestview blocked the PAT, leaving the score 20-7 with 7:59 left until halftime. The Knights answered with a one-yard touchdown run by JJ Ward to pull within six, but the Mustangs struck with just 29 seconds left in the quarter when Hershberger ran seven yards for a score then added the two-point conversion for a 28-14 halftime lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ward went on to finish 9-of-14 for 194 yards, while Carson Hunter completed 1-of-5 passes for eight yards and an interception. Rontae Jackson caught four passes for 93 yards while Hunter Rothgeb had a pair of grabs for 54 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Isaac Kline led the Crestview ground game with 11 carries for 60 yards while Helt had nine carries for 35 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allen East added two touchdowns in the second half \u2013 a one-yard run by Hoel with 2:22 left in the third quarter and a two-yard run by Keaton Miller with 2:02 left in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
