CONVOY — It was a game that won\u2019t soon be forgotten.<\/p>\n

The Crestview Knights rallied from an 18-point first quarter deficit, and held on to defeat the Hicksville Aces 41-40 on Friday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth teams laid it all on the line,\u201d Crestview head coach Jared Owens said. \u201cEven though we had a slow start, I thought we had a great effort all night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Derick Dealey began the comeback with a four-yard touchdown run with 9:44 remaining in the second quarter, then Wade Sheets trimmed Hicksville\u2019s lead to 18-13 with a 42-yard interception return for a touchdown with 6:24 left in the quarter.<\/p>\n

Jacob Greer pushed Hicksville\u2019s lead to 24-13 with a one-yard run with 1:21 left until halftime, but the Knights responded with a 25-yard touchdown pass from Drew Kline to Sheets to make it 24-20 at the break.<\/p>\n

The Knights (2-0) took 27-24 lead early in the third quarter, on an eight-yard run by Kline. It was the only score of the third quarter.<\/p>\n

The Aces (0-2) scored at the 11:46 mark of the fourth quarter, on a 67-yard pass from Greer to Braden Langham, but the Knights regained the lead less than four minutes later when Dealey scored his second touchdown of the night, on a two-yard run that gave Crestview a 35-32 lead.
