A season ago the Tri County boys basketball team easily handled Diller-Odell on the Griffins home floor in a 66-37 contest.
Just a year later Diller-Odell showed they have made tremendous progress on the basketball court under second-year head coach Dylan Hinrichs.
On Monday the two teams met once again since that meeting and by the end of the first quarter the Griffins held a 10-9 advantage on Tri County’s home floor.
