If Winslow wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Page, they should've done a better job of containing Renato Littleman. The Page Sand Devils came out on top against the Winslow Bulldogs by a score of 38-27 on Friday thanks in part to Littleman, who rushed for 166 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.7 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown.
