Van Wert independent sports<\/em><\/p>\n

The Crestview Lady Knights had no problem with Van Wert, downing the Lady Cougars 64-46 in a non-conference game played Monday night in the Cougars\u2019 Den.<\/p>\n

Crestview started well, outscoring the Cougars by 17 points, 23-6, in the first quarter, but Van Wert chipped away at that Knights\u2019 lead, outscoring Crestview 17-13 in the second quarter to trail by 13 points, 36-23, at the half.<\/p>\n

The Cougars outscored Crestview 14-12 in the third quarter as well, to come within 11 points, 48-37, but the Knights put the game away in the final stanza on a 14-9 run.<\/p>\n

Van Wert was on fire from three-point range, hitting a total of nine treys — five by Ally Jackson, three by Reagan Priest, and one by Sierra Shaffer — in the game. Unfortunately, the Cougars had two fewer two-point field goals — half the number the Knights had in the game.<\/p>\n

Crestview pretty much won the game at the free-throw line, where the Knights made 24 of 27 foul shots, versus 5 of 10 for Van Wert.<\/p>\n

Crestview\u2019s 5-8 junior, Paige Motycka, was the game\u2019s top scorer with 25 points, including 10 of 12 at the free throw line, while junior guard Lyvia Black added 16 points for the Knights and Lexi Gregory scored 13 for the Knights.<\/p>\n

Van Wert was led by Ally Jackson\u2019s 15 points, while Priest added 13 points for the Cougars.<\/p>\n
