Crest Crushes Forestview, Ending The Jaguars Best Season

                Five offensive plays by the Crest Chargers were all it took to gain a 14-0 lead over visiting Forestview early in the first quarter. Willie Green’s 32-yard run and Trey Harbison’s one-yard touchdown plunge into the end zone set the tone for the night. A Green eleven-yard touchdown pass to Traquan Hopper made it 21-0 in the first quarter.

                Backed up inside their own ten-yard line, a mishandled pitch from Crawford intended for Moe Neal set Crest up for another score. Harbison scored on a two-yard run to make it 28-0 with just over ten minutes to go in the second quarter. A 37-yard touchdown pass from Green to Preston Huskie gave Crest a 35-0 advantage. Alex Trejo’s 29-yard field-goal made it 38-0 and that would be the half-time score.

                Forestview got the ball to start the second half, but the Charger defense just kept on smothering the Jaguar offense. Things continued to go the Chargers way. After Forestview punted, Jordan Oates took the ensuing punt 67 yards for a touchdown.

                With the score now 45-0, the clock started to run continuously. Harbison, Green and other starters did not play in the second half. Trey Williams’s one-yard touchdown run and Trejo’s kick made it 52-0 Crest. Trejo was 7-for-7 on extra points. He also became the school’s all-time leader in field-goals while teammate Harbison set a country record for touchdowns.

                Forestview was able to avoid the shutout with a John Crawford 30-yard touchdown pass to Caleb Mills in the fourth quarter. But that was pretty much it.

                Moe Neal finished the game with -5 yards rushing. John Crawford amassed 121 yard passing with most of them coming in the second half.

                “They have a fantastic team, no question about it.” Forestview head coach Chris Medlin said “It got snowballing early and it got hard to stop. If I was going to lose, I’d rather do it to a great team.”

                “It’s important for us to be physical.” Crest head coach Mark Barnes said “We were productive with the run game and we were able to run the ball effectively.”

                “Our defense has done it all year. We’re used to them playing well. We have lived off our defense consistently.”

                The Chargers (14-0) will host South Point, a team they beat earlier this year 35-13. The Red Raiders beat East Rowan 42-32.
