CONVOY \u2014 In terms of numbers, Crestview was down entering Tuesday\u2019s NWC dual match against Columbus Grove. Illness was the culprit but even so, the Knights remained competitive before falling 39-27 to the Bulldogs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis has been a huge dual pairing that we\u2019ve have circled all season long,\u201d Crestview head coach Jake Sawmiller said. \u201cIf we can compete with Columbus Grove, we can legitimately put our hat in the ring for making a push for the conference championship. Tonight, these boys didn\u2019t just put their hat in the ring, they owned the ring. We didn\u2019t walk out victorious as a team (three kids out due to illness) but we dominated that dual pairing winning five of seven matches that were wrestled and one of our losses was a two point match until the final blow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sawmiller noted the match of the night was at 175 pounds, where Crestview\u2019s Aiden Helt pinned Columbus Grove\u2019s Layton Blankemeyer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAiden Helt put up some great defense throughout the first period to take the match scoreless into the second,\u201d Sawmiller explained. \u201cAfter giving up an escape and a takedown, Aiden turned on his defense again as Blankemeyer tried to turn him in a cradle and Helt caught him in the action securing the reversal and eventual pin. That was a huge win for that young man and you could tell that by the reaction of his entire bench.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love the recent attitude change we\u2019ve seen in these kids over the past week,\u201d Sawmiller continued. \u201cThey\u2019re hungry, they are starting to believe, and tonight was a massive step in the right direction. I can\u2019t wait to see what they do over the next three and hopefully and weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Knights also honored the team\u2019s two 100 match winners, Gavin Grubb and Levi Grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
