CONVOY \u2013 The Crestview Knights scored six times in a row \u2013 including two safeties — and then held off the Parkway Panthers for a 30-16 non-conference victory at home on Friday.<\/p>\n

The Knights compiled 402 yards of total offense, compared to 245 for Parkway, had 19 first downs to 9 for the Panthers and dominated the game until the final six minutes of play.<\/p>\n

After a fumble halted the Knights\u2019 first possession on the Parkway 3-yard line, Crestview\u2019s Trevor Roop then intercepted a Panther pass to give the ball back to the Knights.<\/p>\n

Crestview then scored its first touchdown when Roop hit Zach Burdette for a 19-yard scoring strike with 8 minutes left on the first-quarter clock. Knight kicker Kameron Grubaugh hit the first of two extra points and it was 7-0, Crestview.<\/p>\n

Three possession later, the Knights got a break when Parkway\u2019s punt was blocked and the ball went out of bounds for a safety, giving Crestview a 9-0 lead with 1:31 left in the first quarter.<\/p>\n

Less than a minute later, the Knights scored again when Roop hit Venice Roberts for a 40-yard TD with 45 seconds left in the quarter.<\/p>\n

Crestview\u2019s next score came with just 37 seconds left in the first half, when Roop ran it in from the Parkway 4-yard line to give the Knights a 21-0 halftime lead.<\/p>\n

Crestview scored again in the third quarter when Malcolm Oliver broke away for a 38-yard touchdown run with 7:15 remaining in the period. Grubaugh kicked the extra point to make it a 28-0 lead for the Knights.<\/p>\n

Crestview got another defensive coup when they caught Panther quarterback Austin Dennison in the end zone for a second safety and it was 30-0 in favor of the Knights.<\/p>\n

Parkway took a bit of the sting away from the loss, though, with two big scoring plays in the fourth quarter. The Panthers scored its first TD when Dennison found Kris Gangwer for a 63-yard scoring strike with 6:09 left in the game. Three minutes later, Dennison hit Cain Pontsler for a 67-yard touchdown pass and the score was 30-16 with 3:07 yet to play. Parkway ran for two-point PATs after both TDs.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s how it ended, as neither team was able to mount a scoring drive in the remaining time left.<\/p>\n

Oliver led the Knights on the ground with 105 yards on 11 carries, a 9.5-ard average, while Roop ran for 92 yards on 15 carries. Roop was 7 of 14 passing for 120 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. He also fumbled the ball three times, with one of those recovered by Parkway.<\/p>\n

Roberts led the Crestview receiving corps with 56 yards on two catches, while Oliver also caught two passes for 40 yards.<\/p>\n

For Parkway, Brandon Moorman rushed for 68 yards on three carries, while Dennison was 10 of 19 passing for 186 yards, two TDs and two interceptions.<\/p>\n

Defensively, Jacob Harmon had five tackles for the Knights, while Lippi added four tackles. Both had a sack in the game. Tyler Matthews had seven tackles for Parkway.<\/p>\n

Crestview, now 1-0 on the year, will travel to Lima Central Catholic this coming Friday for a Northwest Conference game.<\/p>\n
