The 6-4 junior wing scored 10 of those points in the fourth quarter, including eight in a row.<\/p>\n

\u201cDerek knocked some shots down for us, was a physical presence for us inside, made his free throws and had a good night for us,\u201d Crestview head coach Jeremy Best said. \u201cI\u2019m proud of him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Knights trailed 10-9 after one quarter. Celina guard Kole Murlin accounted for eight of the Bulldogs\u2019 10 points.<\/p>\n

Crestview\u2019s Javin Etzler and Stout scored the first eight points of the second quarter. Stout hit a basket, then Etzler hit a bucket and a free throw, before Stout hit two charity tosses for a 17-9 lead. The Knights went on to lead 24-18 at halftime.<\/p>\n

After an early third quarter free throw by Crestview\u2019s Drew Kline, the Bulldogs (3-12) fought back and used baskets and free throws by Brett Schwieterman and Lucas Hone to tie the game at 25 midway through the period.<\/p>\n

The Knights quickly responded with back-to-back treys by Derick Dealey and Kline to regain the lead, then Crestview clamped down defensively and held the Bulldogs to just four free throws for the remainder of the quarter.\u00a0 Celina\u2019s next field goal didn\u2019t come until the 5:12 mark of the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

Against Crestview\u2019s defense, the Bulldogs shot just 16-of-55 from the floor, including 2-of-17 from three-point range.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought our guys defended the perimeter pretty well, and rebounded a bit better at times,\u201d Best said.<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs managed to trim Crestview\u2019s lead to 45-41 late in the fourth quarter, but Stout connected on four straight free throws, followed by two each by Etzler and Brett Schumm to put the game out of reach.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe went through stretches again where we couldn\u2019t put it in the basket, and that was due to their pressure,\u201d Best said. \u201cCelina is quick and gritty, they get up underneath and guard you, and we knew they\u2019d present a challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a good win for us,\u201d Best added.<\/p>\n

The Knights (10-4) will travel to Paulding Friday, then will host Hicksville Saturday.\u00a0 The game against the Aces will air live on WKSD 99.7 FM, and will stream live at www.wksd997.com<\/a> and The Van Wert independent<\/em> (www.thevwindependent.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n
