ST. JOSEPH — After a slow first half from both teams, the Bismarck-Henning/Rossville-Alvin and St. Joseph-Ogden offenses started to get going in the second half.
But in the end, it was the Spartans who were more consistent and got a 63-45 win over the Blue Devils.
Chaz Dubois and Micah Stanford each had 12 points for BHRA, who was down 20-17 at halftime, while Keison Peoples had nine points and Ayden Ingram added six points.
The Blue Devils will now get ready for Dec. 27, when they start the BSN Classic.
