Volleyball<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crestview 3 Ottoville 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONVOY — Crestview had plenty to celebrate Tuesday night. The Lady Knights honored their two seniors, Lainey Gardner and Kaci Gregory and recognized the youth program and middle school teams. That was followed up by a straight set junior varsity win, followed by a 25-23, 23-25, 25-21, 25-23 varsity win over Ottoville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat a fun, exciting night it was for the Crestview Lady Knights to compete in front of a great crowd and student section,\u201d Crestview head coach Tammy Gregory said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The younger Gregory had 13 kills and 12 digs and was 20-of-21 serving with five aces. Delanie Balliet had 13 digs and was 17-of-17 serving with two aces, while Nora Perkins and Kinley Crider finished with 22 and 21 assists in the win. Crider was 13-of-14 at the service line with two aces and Gardner was 11-of-12 with an ace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crestview (12-8) will travel to Allen East tonight. A win would give the Lady Knights an outright NWC championship. Crestview has already clinched at least a share of its sixth consecutive conference title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenton 3 Van Wert 0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the WBL finale for Van Wert, Kenton defeated the Cougars 25-19, 25-20, 25-17 Tuesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van Wert will close out the regular season at home against Bryan on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soccer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riverdale 2 Lincolnview 1<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaxton Hammons scored a goal for Lincolnview but the Lancers fell to Riverdale 2-1 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Obviously, we’re disappointed with the result,\u201d Lincolnview head coach Eli Alvarez said. \u201cI thought our guys competed well after halftime but at this point in the season, we have to find ways to turn close games into wins. We have some things to clean up and with tournament play approaching, it’s important that we learn from tonight and continue getting better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lancers (3-9-1) will travel to Ada on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
