Top-seeded Adrian Dragons claimed a 14-6 victory over the fifth-seeded Springfield Tigers in a dramatic semifinal game of the Section 3A high school football tournament.

ADRIAN — Sparked by several key aerial connections from the senior combination of Mitchell Sieve to Kyle Kilgore Saturday afternoon, the top-seeded Adrian Dragons claimed a 14-6 victory over the fifth-seeded Springfield Tigers in a dramatic semifinal game of the Section 3A high school football tournament.

Adrian (9-1) advances to the section championship game for the fifth straight season, as the Dragons will take on third-seeded Wabasso (7-3) Friday night at Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall. Kickoff is scheduled for 5 p.m. at the Regional Event Center’s Mattke Field.

Springfield ends its season with a record of 5-5, but the Tigers’ powerful offensive attack — featuring the triple option — helped keep the action close and competitive for all 48 minutes of Saturday’s intensely-played, hard-hitting ballgame.
