Logan Devereaux gets behind the Luther defender for a long gain in the Bulldogs’ win Friday night. The victory lifted Meeker to a 3-2 record in district and gave them a big leg up for the playoffs. If the Dogs win one of their final two games, they’ll be in the playoffs. If that win is against Crossings Friday night, they probably will finish third and play the second-place team from District 2A-1 on the round in the first round. Photo/Rick Hester
