\u201cWe were able to take advantage of their pressure with some quick passes,\u201d Crestview head coach Jared Owens said. \u201cI was very pleased with our protection and execution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Derick Dealey opened the scoring at the 7:13 mark of the first quarter with a nine-yard touchdown run. Dylan Hicks tacked on the first of three extra points to make it 7-0. The Knights struck again about four minutes later, when Kline connected with Wade Sheets for a 44-yard touchdown.<\/p>\n

Crestview (4-0, 1-0 NWC) scored three more times in the second quarter. Kline fired a 12-yard touchdown pass to Charles Stefanek with 11:17 left, then Kline ran 39 yards for a score with 7:37 remaining in the quarter. Kline hooked up with Dealey for a 15-yard touchdown with 15 seconds left until halftime.<\/p>\n

A running clock was in effect during a scoreless third quarter, then the Pirates (1-3, 0-1 NWC) found the end zone three times in the final period.<\/p>\n

Dakota Bricker scored on a 26-yard run with 7:50 left, but Crestview responded with a five-yard touchdown run by Kaden Short. Gavin Conrad\u2019s 32-yard touchdown run made it 40-14, then Bluffton\u2019s DeAndre Nassar scored from 35 yards out with no time left on the clock.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought we played well in all three phases of the game,\u201d Owens said. \u201cI\u2019m very proud of our defense and their discipline.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wade Sheets intercepted three Bluffton passes and on offense had four receptions for 113 yards and a quarter.<\/p>\n

Grant Schlagbaum had three catches for 71 yards, Dealey had three for 33 yards and a touchdown and Stefanak had two receptions for 20 yards and a score.<\/p>\n
