OLIVESBURG — Crestview controlled the ball, the clock and Colonel Crawford on Saturday night, on its way to a 28-14 Division VI, Region 22 quarterfinal playoff victory.
The undefeated Cougars (12-0) got on the board first, when Caden Cunningham scooped up an Eagles fumble and returned it 26 yards for a touchdown.
Shortly thereafter, Conner Morse blew through a hole and was gone on a 66-yard TD dash to put No. 2-seed Crestview on top 14-0 with 1:54 showing in the first period.
When Cougars’ quarterback Hayden Kuhn fired a 19-yard scoring strike to Owen Barker, the gap became 21-0.
Seventh-seeded Colonel Crawford (10-2) closed to within 21-7 at the half when Lincoln Mollenkopf scored on a two-yard plunge.
But Crestview’s Wade Bolin made it 28-7 in the third quarter on a 5-yard TD romp, effectively ending all hope for the Eagles.
Mollenkopf, who ran for 145 yards, added a 5-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to account for the final score.
The Cougars won their playoff opener with a 42-7 win over Northwood. The Eagles pounded Cardinal Stritch 50-0 in the postseason lidlifter.
