CONVOY — To say Crestview\u2019s Nate Lichtle had the hot hand against Hicksville is a big understatement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 6-2 senior guard set a single-game school record by converting 10-of-12 three point attempts in a 70-31 win over the Aces at Ray Etzler Gymnasium on Saturday. He eclipsed the previous record of nine set by current head coach Doug Etzler and he ended the game with 30 points. It was the 12th straight victory by the No. 5 Knights (15-1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI thought we had some advantages inside which caused them to double team a little bit and I thought we did a great job of skipping the ball, attacking their close outs and taking catch and shoot threes, and obviously Nate had it going on tonight,\u201d Etzler said afterward. \u201cCredit our guys \u2013 we had a guy that had it going and they got him the ball. That\u2019s the unselfishness that we have on our squad and if we can continue to do that, we have good guys inside, we have good guys who can shoot on the outside and as long as we take good shots we like our chances.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lichtle hit his first trey in the opening quarter, and Wren Sheets and Gavin Etzler combined for 10 points to help give the Knights a 15-13 lead at the end of the period. Lichtle then hit four more triples in the second quarter and Crestview raced to a 35-18 halftime lead. He added four more in the third quarter to tie the record. He broke it with a trey from the top of the key less than 20 seconds into the final period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheets finished with 12 points while Gavin Etzler, who hit a pair of triples, finished with 10 points. As a team, the Knights were 12-of-22 from three point range and 27-of-43 overall from the floor. In addition, Crestview hit 4-of-9 foul shots, enjoyed a 22-13 rebounding advantage and committed just seven turnovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aaron Klima led Hicksville with 13 points, while Jayden Rosalez had eight points. The Aces were 11-of-32 shooting and 8-of-13 from the foul line with 13 turnovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cI thought Hicksville did a good job of attacking the basket in the first quarter, but we made them work hard and picked them up full court and I was hoping that would wear them down,\u201d Etzler said. \u201cI credit our guys for playing extremely hard. It\u2019s not always easy on back to back nights but when you\u2019re playing a lot of guys it makes it a little bit easier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crestview will play at Lima Central Catholic on Friday and at Delphos St. John\u2019s on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwo very good teams traditionally and to go their place both nights is going to be a challenge,\u201d Etzler said. \u201cI hope we can be very intense in practice this week to get ready for that and I hope our guys come out and play well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
