In a dominant Class A Region I co-final performance, the St. Marys Blue Devils secured their spot in the state tournament by defeating five-time defending regional champion Cameron with a decisive 72-31 victory. The Blue Devils established control early, racing to a 21-2 lead in the first quarter and maintaining a stifling defense that prevented the Dragons from reaching double digits in any single period. Head coach Fred King credited the win to a relentless man-to-man defense that forced turnovers and led to high-percentage baskets. Despite the team's youth—starting two juniors and no seniors—King expressed high confidence in his squad’s ability to represent their community well on the state stage.

The offensive effort was spearheaded by Brynnley Bulluck, who scored a game-high 26 points, showcasing her versatility by hitting two three-pointers and creating space in the driving lanes. She was supported by Anna Bennett and Laney Watkins, who contributed 20 and 17 points, respectively, highlighting a balanced attack that features four potential double-digit scorers. Following this victory, the 20-4 Blue Devils have earned the No. 3 seed in the state tournament and are scheduled to open play against No. 6 Pocahontas County on March 10.
