The Dieterich Movin Maroons captured the championship of their own 1A Regional Friday night, defeating the Oblong Panthers 48-43.

Dieterich came charging back after trailing 11-4 after one quarter. The Maroons posted a 13-6 second quarter edge to tie the game at 17-17 at halftime. A 17-10 advantage put Dieterich in front 34-27 after three quarters, and the Movin Maroons then held on to win by five.

Nick Feldhake led Dieterich with 11 points. Also for Dieterich: Travis Niemerg 8, Lance Niemerg 8, Trenton Poe 7, Noah Heuerman 6, Ryan Radloff 4, and Callaway Campton 4.
