\u201cI thought it was a hard fought game,\u201d Wayne Trace head coach Matt Holden said. \u201cAt the end of the day they beat us in the second half. They did a good job of taking the run away and their defensive line made it tough to get time to throw. It was every bit a 50-50 type of game and unfortunately we came up short this time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLots of kids made plays tonight,\u201d Crestview head coach Cole Harting said. \u201cIt\u2019s nice having gritted one out and I think it\u2019s huge moving forward. It doesn\u2019t always have to be pretty but we were able to take care of business and make some plays.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first quarter, Kyle Stoller scored on a 16-yard run that gave Wayne Trace a 7-0 lead, a score that stood at the end of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Knights answered in the second quarter when Bryson Penix, who returned from an injury suffered on the first play of last week\u2019s game vs. McComb, tossed the first of his two touchdown passes to Beau Eggleston, a 14-yarder. Hayden Perrott added the first of his three extra points to tie the game 7-7. Eggleston went on to finish with four receptions for 68 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe got the go-ahead on Wednesday and he worked his way back in,\u201d Harting said of Penix. \u201cI told him Jaret (Harting) is going to get the first two (series), you get the next two and we\u2019ll go from there. I\u2019m really excited about his future because he is just scratching the surface.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stoller connected with Hudson Myers for a 7-yard score in the second quarter and Wayne Trace went on to enjoy a 14-7 halftime lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In the third quarter, Penix teamed up with Eggleston again, this time from four yards out, to tie the game 14-14, but Tucker Antoine\u2019s seven-yard touchdown run gave the Raiders a 20-14 lead after a missed PAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winning touchdown came in the fourth quarter on a 3-yard touchdown run by Braxton Leeth, who tallied 52 yards on 19 carries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crestview\u2019s defense came up big on Wayne Trace\u2019s last drive with a sack and an interception in the final minute that sealed the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Penix finished 5-of-13 for 118 yards and two touchdowns, while Stoller completed 17-of-27 passes for 141 yards and a touchdown. Dylan Hildebrand finished with five receptions for 24 yards, and Antoine led the Raider rushing attack with 15 carries for 61 yards. Jaret Harting led the Knights with 21 carries and 107 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Knights outgained the Raiders in total yards, 283-231.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crestview will host Ada in the NWC opener on Friday, while Wayne Trace will begin GMC play at Edgerton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need to work on our passing game and we need to clean up our penalties\u2026we get a lot of holding penalties, especially on the perimeter and if we can get that taken care of we can be pretty dangerous,\u201d Harting said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
