On Feb. 1, the Red Devils allowed the Dresden Lions a first half lead, 29-16, but rearranged the course of the game in the second half, coming back with a 16 point run in the third, while holding the Lions to only 2 points, and upping the total by 13 points in the fourth to Dresden’s 8, for a 32-31 Red Devil lead at the end of the third quarter of play, and a 6-point final advantage, 45-39.

In what appeared to be a pattern for the SFHS Red Devils last week, the Feb. 2 contest against Greenfield’s Yellow Jackets proved to hold steady the process, with a first half slow start, followed by a second half acceleration and an ultimate win against the Jackets, 56-53.
