It was a tale of two halves when the Dodge City Red Demons played host to the Great Bend Panthers, with Dodge dominating the first half and Great Bend dominating the second.
In the end, the Demons prevailed, even after deliberately taking points off the scoreboard, and recorded a 24-21 victory over the Panthers on Friday.
Red Demons coach Dave Foster said he knew Great Bend would present a lot of issues, but the Demons prevented those issues in the first half.
The Demons created turnovers, had a short field after a turnover and had a fake punt that led to the first Demons score.
The Demons rode some early momentum to a 14-0 lead, producing one drive of nine plays for 69 yards and another of 13 plays and 67 yards.
