The Blue Devils (10-8) outscored Deshler by 14 points in the last quarter, chipping away at a 23-point third-quarter deficit.

The win vaulted the Dragons into today's conference-tournament title game against Blue Hill, also at Adams Central. Deshler lengthened its win streak to 18. The Dragons' only loss came in their season opener against Exeter-Milligan.
