Etzler, Wade Sheets and Derek Stout each scored baskets in the third quarter to extend Crestview\u2019s advantage to 44-30, and the Knights enjoyed a double digit lead the rest of the way.<\/p>\n

Stout opened the game with a strong first quarter. The 6-4 senior scored 11 of his game high 23 points, most of them on layups. Brett Schumm connected on consecutive baskets and Jace Vining hit a trey as the Knights raced to a 22-17 lead.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn any particular night any of these guys could have a situation where they have a major impact on the game,\u201d Crestview head coach Jeremy Best said of his players. \u201cI hope they\u2019re starting to see that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Early in the second period the Wildcats climbed to within two on a triple by Isaac Fillinger, then enjoyed brief leads of 25-24 and 28-26 on treys by Mark Kuhlman and Fillinger.<\/p>\n

After two third quarter foul shots by Miller City\u2019s Mitchell Gable ended Crestview\u2019s 14-0 scoring run, Derick Dealey quickly drained a three pointer to keep momentum in favor of the Knights. When the quarter ended, the Knights had held the Wildcats a single basket and four free throws.<\/p>\n

In the fourth quarter, Stout accounted for six of Crestview\u2019s 10 points.<\/p>\n

Miller City (5-6) came in averaging 62 points per game and Best said he was pleased with his team\u2019s defensive effort.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Mark) Kuhlman\u2019s really hard to guard and he\u2019s a tough player,\u201d Best explained. \u201cHe\u2019s relentless, he\u2019s always coming at you and his motor is always burning hot. We rotated some guys on him, and I thought we did as good as you can do on him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought Javin did a good job on (Noah) Otto,\u201d Best added. \u201cHe didn\u2019t let him get his feet underneath him. He\u2019s as good a shooter as we\u2019ve seen and we challenged Javin with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kuhlman finished with 13 points, Mitchell Gable had 12 and Otto scored just four points, which was nine below his average.<\/p>\n

As a team, Miller City was 17-41 (41 percent) from the floor and 9-12 (75 percent) from the foul line. The Wildcats finished the game with 13 rebounds and 10 turnovers.<\/p>\n
