Putnam County senior Keyni Crawford scored a team-high 19 points, leading the War Eagles to a 52-41 victory over Butler in the Region 4-AA tournament semifinals.
In the Class AA top 10 clash, Crawford stepped up when leading scorer, Eren Banks, got into foul trouble early on. He was one of the main reasons the No. 6 War Eagles never trailed the No. 8 Bulldogs.
