On a chilly December night the Perrysburg Yellow Jackets arrived at the Springfield High School to take on the Blue Devils.
The Jackets were coming off their season open victory against the St. Francis Knights. This would be their first appointment inside of the fierce Northern Lakes League.
A conference that is full of experience, height, and talent. All three things the Springfield brought to the table.
The Thursday night game was a constant nail-biter, as little as one point that separated the Blue Devils and the Yellow Jackets after both the first and second quarters.
