The game was close in the first quarter, but it was all Crestview after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Isaac Kline put the Knights ahead 7-0 with a nine yard touchdown run with 7:18 left in the first quarter, Delphos Jefferson answered with a 72-yard run by Tyler Wilkens just 10 seconds later. It was the final time the Wildcats would score all night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Penix tossed a 52-yard touchdown pass to Wren Sheets less than a minute later, then Crestview added three touchdowns in the second quarter \u2013 rushing touchdowns of one and 38 yards by Leeth and an 18-yard pass from Penix to Wren Sheets. Leeth went on to finish with 16 carries for 116 yards and the Knights finished with 280 rushing yards. Penix completed 8-of-20 passes for 277 yards and ran for 76 yards on seven carries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBryson played a great game,\u201d Harting said. \u201cHe was finally able to showcase his ability to run the ball tonight. He also put on display his ability to throw the deep ball.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 30-yard field goal by Hayden Perrott made it 38-6 less than 90 seconds into the third quarter and it triggered the continuous clock rule for the remainder of the game. Penix threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Sheets later in the quarter, then the Knights added two more scores in the fourth quarter \u2013 a safety by Ethan Lugabihl, and a six yard run by Zayden Martin, who finished with six carries for 76 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

As a team, Crestview outgained the Wildcats 557-91 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur defense played lights out tonight,\u201d Harting said. \u201cIf you take away their one big play, we probably hold them to double digit yards. Coach (Jake) Harmon does a great job with our defense and he always has a great game plan where the players can execute at a high level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur receivers have continued to improve as blockers,\u201d he added. Each week they have gotten better and it has allowed us to have more explosive plays.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crestview will play at state ranked Bluffton (No. 7, Division VI) Friday night. The Pirates (6-0, 3-0 NWC) defeated Ada 48-0 Friday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
