GREAT BEND — Crest High’s Lancers will have to wait another day for their date with destiny.

Crest saw its state title bid slip away Friday, with a 10-8 loss to Little River in the Class 2-1A State Semifinals.

The loss was the first of the season for Crest (24-1), which later played Valley Falls in the third-place game. The crest-fallen Lancers fell behind early and could never recover in that one, dropping a 16-6 decision to end the year at 24-2.
