MUNCIE, Ind. — Yorktown students stormed Delta's gymnasium floor Friday night, the culmination of an emotional evening that concluded with a 44-43 Tigers boys basketball victory.
Delta fans, with hands covering frowning faces forged by frustration, watched their rival school celebrate a small bit of recent history.
Including Yorktown's Delaware County Tournament victory over Delta last season, the Tigers (1-1) have beaten the Eagles (2-2) twice in a row for the first time since 2014-15, before either Yorktown head coach Matt Moulton or Delta head coach Mark Detweiler lead their programs. It was also Yorktown's first conference win at Delta since 2013-14, and the last one-point margin of victory between the two sides was 39-38 in 2009-10.
