North Delta will play for the North Half championship for the first time since 2004 with a 28-17 win over Simpson Academy Friday night.

The Green Wave had a slight 20-17 lead with 2:45 left in the game. In a heads up play, Sy Pritchard caught a Simpson fumble in the air. Instead of downing the ball where he was, he proceeded down the field in the opposite direction dragging a host of Cougars with him.

The Green Wave offense took over and with 1:04 left in the game, Corbin Baker scored his second touchdown on a pass reception from quarterback Bryan Nickle.

The Green Wave will host Leake Academy Friday at 7 p.m.
