DEFIANCE — As evidenced by Crestview\u2019s 40-32 Division IV district championship win over Lincolnview at Defiance High School on Saturday, defense and free throws were key factors in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top-seeded Lady Knights held No. 9 seed Lincolnview to 14-of-39 shooting and the Lady Lancers converted just 3-of-10 free throws. Lincolnview\u2019s defense was solid as well, holding Crestview to just 13-of-29 from the floor but the Lady Knights connected on 13-of-21 foul shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDefensively our zone gave them some issues,\u201d Lincolnview head coach Kyle Williams said. \u201cI thought our girls communicated and rotated really well. It\u2019s a tall task to keep Cali (Gregory) in check as well as their bigs. We did a nice job on their bigs but their guards hurt us a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was so impressed with our girls defensively tonight,\u201d Crestview head coach Mark Gregory said. \u201cFree throw shooting was a big deal. Early on we attacked the rim and got some opportunities. It was two high quality teams going after it, it\u2019s tournament time and we made things difficult for each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After jumping out to a 5-0 lead, Crestview led 7-2 after the first quarter. Lincolnview held scoreless until the 1:33 mark when Makayla Jackman put her team on the board with a jumper. The second quarter was much like the opening period and Crestview took a 13-8 lead into halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lincolnview opened the third quarter with back-to-back baskets by Jackman and Carsyn Looser to make it 13-12, but that was as close as the Lady Lancers would get. A steal and layup by Ellie Kline and an offensive rebound and bucket by Laci McCoy put Crestview ahead 17-12 and a triple by Cali Gregory with 40 seconds left in the quarter gave the Lady Knights a 25-18 advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe fought the whole game and Makayla and Carsyn had those big buckets to cut the lead to one,\u201d Williams said. \u201cWe had them on their heels but a couple of turnovers and missed buckets hurt us. As a coach I\u2019ll take the blame as I could have done some things differenctly offensively. Crestview had a great defensive game plan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cEveryone who played tonight and our bench impacted the game and that\u2019s why I\u2019m so proud of this group,\u201d the elder Gregory said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Lincolnview\u2019s Kendall Bollenbacher scored to open the final period, Crestview went on an 8-0 run, including a triple by Kline and a bucket and two free throws by Gregory, to push the lead to 33-20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe made some big plays in the fourth quarter and that definitely made me feel better,\u201d Gregory said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game was the final one for four seniors on Lincolnview\u2019s roster \u2013 Bollenbacher, King, Andi Webb and Heather Beair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a program you\u2019re only as good as your seniors and I\u2019m super proud of mine,\u201d Williams said. \u201cAll of them have different roles but they help our team in so many different ways. I\u2019m so proud to be able to coach them and watch them grow not only as players but as people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crestview (21-4) will face New Knoxville (No. 3 AP poll) in the Division IV regional semifinals at 8 p.m. Thursday at Elida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe play a lot of teams in the MAC but that\u2019s one we haven\u2019t played,\u201d Gregory said. \u201cI followed those same girls that won state (volleyball) and it\u2019s a lot of the same girls that play basketball. It\u2019s going to be a challenge but I think our girls are up to that challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
