The Knights did it with excellent defense, holding the Linder brothers, Ethan and Corbin, who scored 62 points together on Tuesday, to a total of 19 on Friday.<\/p>\n

In fact, Ethan Etzler, who was double teamed in the first half, had just two free throws in the half and a total of nine points for the game. The Raiders were held to 10 of 37 shooting from the field (27 percent), while Crestview, which struggled from three-point range (3 of 16), hit 11 of 23 two-point attempts for a 35.9 percent overall field goal shooting ratio.<\/p>\n

Both teams shot well from the line. The Knights were 13 of 19 (68.4 percent), while Wayne Trace hit 12 of 14 free throw attempts (85.7 percent).<\/p>\n

Rebounding was about even, with Crestview bringing down 30 boards to 28 for the Raiders. The Knights had fewer turnovers as well, 8-14.<\/p>\n

Although the game was held up for about 20 minutes because game officials were stuck in traffic, Crestview got out to a quick start and took an 11-point lead, 13-2, at the end of the quarter. It was 23-14 at the half and 29-23 at the three-quarter point.<\/p>\n

As he has most of the year, Damian Helm led the Knights with 16 points while Tyson Bolenbaugh added 13 points, including a 7-of-8 performance from the free throw line. Corbin Linder was Wayne Trace\u2019s top scorer with 10 points.<\/p>\n

The Knights (27-0) now face a tough opponent in the state semifinals in New Madison Tri-Village (26-1). That game will be played at 8:30 p.m. Thursday in Columbus.<\/p>\n
