Host Crestview used a powerfully balanced offense and stingy defense to defeat the Ada High School football team 47-9 in the Northwest Conference opener Friday night, September 8, in Convoy.
The Knights raced to a 35-3 lead at halftime behind a 21-0 second period, and rolled to victory.
Ada fell to 2-2 overall and 0-1 in the NWC after dropping the league lidlifter.
The Knights improved to 3-1 overall and 1-0 in the NWC with the convincing win.
Intense Crestview rode a potent ground game to roll up just over 500 yards in total offense. The balanced Knights rushed for 323 yards and passed for 180 yards.
The tough Crestview defense limited the Bulldogs to 35 passing yards and 158 in total offense. Ada came into the game averaging 30.7 points per game but was held 15 points below their previous lowest output of 24 points in a win over USV.
