Crestview seniors Emily Bauer and Brady Guest combined for 32 points — four more points than the entire Lady Bearcats team — and the Knight defense kept Spencerville (7-13, 3-4 NWC) off balance the entire night as Crestview (14-4, 5-1 NWC) got its fifth Northwest Conference win and its 14th overall victory on the season.<\/p>\n

Bauer led the Knights with 19 points, while Guest added 13 points for Crestview. Lyvia Black had 9 points for the Knights, while Paige Motycka scored 8 points for Crestview. Jacey Grigsby was the Bearcats\u2019 top scorer with 10 points.<\/p>\n

The Knights\u2019 field goal shooting wasn\u2019t spectacular (20 of 47 for 42 percent), but Crestview made more than twice as many free throws as Spencerville (13 of 17 versus 6 of 10).<\/p>\n

The Knights also had the edge in rebounding, bringing down 25 boards to 19 for Spencerville. Crestview also had two fewer turnovers, 12-14, than the Bearcats.<\/p>\n

Celina took control of its game with the Lady Cougars early, with a 14-6 run in the first quarter than gave the Lady Bulldogs an eight-point lead. Celina built on that in the second period, outscoring the Cougars 12-8 to increase their lead to 12 points, 26-14, at the half. It was 36-19 at the end of the third quarter, while Van Wert went on a 12-7 run in the final stanza for the final scoring difference.<\/p>\n

Abby Jackson led the Cougars with 8 points, while Reagan Priest added 7 points for Van Wert. Celina was led by Kelly Stahl\u2019s 15 points, while Jenna Berry added 12 points for the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

LCC also scored early and often to put the Lady Lancers in a hole they couldn\u2019t climb out of.<\/p>\n

The Lady Thunderbirds were up 7-2 after the first quarter and led by 17 points, 25-8, after a big second 18-6 second-quarter run. The score was 41-12 after three quarters of play, while the Lincolnview girls outscored LCC 15-5 to get within 19 points of the T-Birds.<\/p>\n

Natalie Snider led LCC with 15 points, while Madison Stolly added 13 points for the T-Birds. Maddie Gorman had 7 points to lead Lincolnview, while Kayla Schimmoeller and Lakin Brant added 6 points for the Lady Lancers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
