The Dadeville boys basketball team had its hands full for the first half of play against Randolph County but came out in the second half ready to win as they secured the Class 3A Area 7 championship title Thursday night. 

Tied up at 26 at the half, the Tigers were trying to find their footing early in the game but that all changed in the third quarter. Dadeville came out of the half pressing hard on defense, forcing turnovers and rushed shots, which led to a dominant quarter on the boards for the Tigers. It was a true team effort and looked to be one of the most complete team games Dadeville has played all season.
