Last Monday night our Crestwood Lions’ D2 Senior Boys played Crescent in a nail biting game. In the last 7.8 seconds Crestwood was down by one; with a major league play David McCall breaks away, raises up, and puts up a great 3 pointer that rattled in and out. Crestwood lost 50 to 49. Leading scores David McCall with 23 and Jonah Eichler with 16. Great job guys!!!
