It was a cool, crisp 46-degrees in Convoy, Ohio on this lovely Halloween morning.
Leaves covering the ground, still wet with the morning dew,
Halloween inflatables and lights, lining the streets, giving out a nice warm glow, on the still dark morning, as I went to get my coffee.
At the coffee shop (The Rebel Bean), and at the post office, the talk was about Crestview Athletics.
Once again, the school was being well represented, and in the hunt for a state title.
Inside the school, the school fight song echoed throughout the hallways.
The Crestview Knights boys’ cross country team, as well as 2 girls’ left the small town this morning, to clapping students, staff and parents.
They’re on the way Obetz, Ohio to compete for the state championship.
Police escort and all.
The trip for the boys is pure business. The boys team finished as state runners-up last season.
It’ll be a tough task.
The Knights were Regional Champs by only 5 points over the Columbus Grove Bulldogs.
Coach Randy Grandstaff has faith that the boys can get it down this season.
“It’ll be tough, but these boys know what it takes, and are determined to bring it home on Saturday.” he told me last weekend, when I spoke to him.
It’s not all about the boys though.
Lady Knight senior Anna Gardner, and Lady Knight freshman Emily Heth are looking to make some noise of their own at state.
Good luck to the boys and girls Crestview Knights Cross Country Teams at the Ohio State Championships tomorrow morning.
Girls run at 10:00 AM (EST).
Boys run at 10:40 AM (EST).
I’d like to thank Crestview Athletic Director Austin Fleming, for all his help in my 1st year covering Knights sporting events.
