CONVOY — Crestview used a deep and multi-faceted attack to defeat county rival Lincolnview 68-36 on Friday night. The Knights had four players finish in double figures and eight players register in the scorebook as they improved to 17-4 (5-2 NWC), while the Lancers lost their seventh straight game and fell to 5-16 (0-7 NWC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was really pleased with our effort tonight,\u201d Crestview head coach Doug Etzler said. \u201cI thought we did a good job of attacking Lincolnview\u2019s pressure and we shared the ball and took good shots.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cI thought our kids once again battled battled and played hard,\u201d Lincolnview head coach Brett Hammons said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6-6 senior post player Wren Sheets got Crestview off to a good start with eight points in the opening quarter, while 6-3 junior Liam Putman added a pair of baskets. When the period ended, the Knights enjoyed an 18-8 lead. All eight of Lincolnview\u2019s points came from Max Hammons, who hit a pair of conventional buckets, a trey and a foul shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hammons added five more points in the second quarter and went on to finish with 18 points, but Crestview countered with five points by Tommy Heffner and a triple by Owen Heckler, the first of his three treys. By halftime, Crestview led 30-17. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lincolnview\u2019s Chayse Overholt hit a pair of three pointers in the third quarter but Crestview carried a 41-27 lead into the fourth quarter. The Knights then flexed their muscles in the final period by outscoring the Lancers by a 27-9 margin. Hayden Perrott scored eight of his 14 points in the final stanza and Sheets added two more buckets. He went on to finish with a double-double, 17 points and 14 rebounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI thought we played well in the middle two quarters but it got away from us in the fourth quarter,\u201d Hammons said. \u201cThey are a tough matchup for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putman and Heckler each scored 10 points for Crestview and the Knights shot 28-of-50 from the floor, including 22-of-33 (67 percent) from two point range and 8-of-12 from the foul line. Crestview had a big rebounding advantage, 33-20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Lincolnview was 14-of-44 shooting and 3-of-4 from the foul line. The Lancers had a respectable eight turnovers in the game, compared to five by Crestview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two teams will meet again next Friday night as the Knights host the Lancers in the Division VI sectional finals. Crestview is the No. 2 seed at the Elida district, while Lincolnview is the No. 8 seed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need to have a good week of preparation and try to eliminate some of the mistakes we made tonight,\u201d Etzler said. \u201cWe will need to play with great energy again next week.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have to learn from this game tonight,\u201d Hammons said. \u201cTake away what we did well and what we need to improve on. We know it\u2019s going to be a hard game, we just have to be prepared the best we can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both teams will finish the regular season tonight. Crestview will play at Delphos St. John\u2019s and Lincolnview will travel to Arlington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
