DELPHOS — The Crestview Knight football team kept up with Delphos Jefferson for three quarters, but a couple of fourth-quarter scores for the Wildcats was the difference in their 34-21 Northwest Conference victory over the Knights.<\/p>\n

Crestview lit up the scoreboard first on a 3-yard run by Malcolm Oliver with 9:58 left in the first quarter. Kameron Grubaugh kicked the extra point and it was 7-0, Knights.<\/p>\n

Jefferson responded nearly five minutes later when Zavier Buzard ran the ball in from the Knight 16-yard line to make 7-6, and Kurt Wollenhaupt kicked the point-after to tie the game at 7-all.<\/p>\n

Crestview took back the lead at the 10:46 mark of the second quarter on a 4-yard run by Justin Overmeyer. Grubaugh again kicked the PAT and it was 14-7, Knights.<\/p>\n

That lead lasted more than seven minutes, until Wildcats scored on a 35-yard run by Buzard. Wollenhaupt kicked the point-after to tie the game at 14 apiece, which was the score at halftime as well.<\/p>\n

The Knights again scored first in the third quarter when Preston Zaleski ran the ball into the end zone from the Jefferson 1-yard line and Grubaugh kicked the PAT for a 21-14 Crestview lead with 8:53 remaining in the quarter.<\/p>\n

The Wildcats again clawed their way back, this time on a 27-yard run by Buzard and a PAT kick by Wollenhaupt to make it 21-all.<\/p>\n

Jefferson owned the final stanza, though, scoring twice on 38-yard and 1-yard runs by Buzard. Wollenhaupt kicked one of the PATs for the final 34-21 score.<\/p>\n

The Wildcats compiled 343 yards of total offense, 224 of those on the ground, while holding Crestview to 250 yards of offense, 152 yards of that through the air.<\/p>\n

Buzard led both teams in rushing with 170 yards and five touchdowns on 24 carries. Zaleski led the Knights in rushing with 36 yards and a TD on 13 carries.<\/p>\n

The top receiver for the Knights was Isaiah Simerman, who caught four passes for 92 yards, while Oliver had two catches for 38 yards.<\/p>\n

Zaleski completed 9 of 16 passes for 152 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions, while Jefferson quarterback Austin Jettinghoff was 13 of 26 for 119 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions.<\/p>\n

With the win, the Wildcats are now 6-0 overall and 4-0 in league play, while Crestview is now 2-1 in the NWC and 4-2 overall.<\/p>\n
