GOLDEN BECOMES REBELS TOP SCORER

/in /by

LEAVITTSBURG OH- Crestview senior Drake Golden made history Tuesday night in the Rebels 56-48 victory over LaBrae. Golden has his sights set on the boys program’s all time leading scorer mark. He needed just eight points to get to 1,307 which was the old record held for 25 years. In the third quarter of the contest Golden did just that scoring his eighth point in the paint, like many of his career points have come. Drake fought through a ton of adversity to get to this point, and anyone around him knows that tonight was about much more than a number.

The Rebels were led by Kirkland Miller who scored a game-high 19 points. Golden ended up with 18 on the night.

Connor Meyer led the Vikings with 15 points. Aidan Stephens put up 14, and Landen Kiser had 11.

Crestview looks to continue their two game winning streak on Friday as they travel to Champion. LaBrae will try to bounce back as they travel to Campbell.

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

/in /by

It’s a coaches philosophy that games are won in the offseason.  In the weight room.  In the gym.  On the field.  Taking the reps, and becoming better when the spotlight isn’t directly on an athlete.

However, it’s an athlete’s perception that in most cases: there is no offseason.  Student-Athletes many times go from sport to sport without taking a breath and without the ability to transition.  Or in this case, a student-athlete goes nearly year-round in a sport they are passionate about.

So, in of Crestview Sophomore, Drake Golden, it’s an opportunity to raise his game from one season to the next.  To showcase his talents season after season, and for all intents and purposes, building the Drake Golden plane in mid-flight.

Being part of a young roster in Crestview will come with some growing pains, but Drake continues to lean on his teammates and coaches in order to help bring the tradition-rich Rebel Hoops Program back to life!
