Litchfield’s Brandon Nelson caught a 12-yard touchdown reception from Josh Prahl later in the second quarter, and Jared Peterson kicked the extra point that eventually gave the Dragons their fourth win.
Connor Hoff made seven tackles with 13 assists, Josh Madsen was 1-9 and Sam Tibbits was 4-5 for the Dragons’ defense.
The Dragons (4-4) will play their Section 6AAA opener on Wednesday.
