BLUFFTON — Make it five straight wins for Crestview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Knights outscored Bluffton 14-5 in the final quarter to defeat the Pirates 55-45 on Friday, putting Crestview at 8-1 (2-1 NWC) on the season, while Bluffton (5-4, 2-1 NWC) saw its five-game winning streak come to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wade Sheets scored six of his 15 points in the fourth quarter, while Nate Lichtle and Mitch Temple each added a trey in the period. Bluffton hit just one basket in the final period, a three pointer by Terron Boblitt and a pair of foul shots by Wade Ginther.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was very pleased with how we stepped up defensively in the fourth quarter,\u201d Crestview head coach Doug Etzler said. \u201cWe hit a couple of threes to start the fourth to give us a little cushion, but I thought we did a really good job of taking away their penetration and made every possession for them a tough one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind three baskets, including a pair of treys by Temple, Crestview raced to an 18-11 lead at the end of the first quarter, but Bluffton stormed back with 19 second quarter points to take a 30-29 halftime lead. Carson Soper scored eight of his 11 points in the second period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe got off to a great start and led 11-2,\u201d Etzler said. \u201cI was disappointed that we let them back in it, but give Bluffton credit for slowing us down and they did a great job of hitting shots.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Sheets and Temple combined for nine of Crestview\u2019s 12 third quarter points and the Knights held a slim 41-40 lead entering the fourth quarter. Temple finished with a game high 17 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crestview will host Arlington tonight ( 5 p.m. JV start).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
