CAREY -- A consistent run game and opportunistic defense kept #8 Carey out in front all night in a convincing 42-14 victory over #9 Crestview in the second round of the Division VI Region 22 playoffs.
The Blue Devils (7-1) marched down the field for a touchdown on their opening drive and never looked back, extending their margin to 14-0 with Ian Yeater and Cade Crawford each finding the end zone. The Cougars (6-2) countered with a big play in the passing game from Chase Shifflet to set up a short Connor Morse TD run, but Carey responded with Jacob Rinehart tasting paydirt to extend their lead to 21-7.
