OTTOVILLE — Tuesday night, an old rivalry was renewed during the regular season as the Delphos St. John’s Blue Jays traveled to the L.W. Heckman Gymnasium to take on the Big Green of Ottoville.

The teams have squared off over the past years in tournament play but with the addition of two extra games on the schedule this year, both teams were able to find a spot in their schedules to play against each other.

The game was a very low-scoring and defensive struggle for most of the night but the Jays outscored the Big Green 23-15 in the second half to come away with a 48-33 non-league win.

The first quarter found both teams struggling to find their shooting touch as the Jays went 0-6 from behind the arc but still struggled to a 1-point lead at the quarter break.
