defense. Crestwood then took a 63-53 win to advance to
the semi-final playoff against first-seeded Valley View.
The Comets overtook the Mountaineers and went
into a six point lead when their Jim McGovern canned
three two-point goals with less than three minutes left
on the clock in the fourth period. J
