A.J. Rothenburg led the Blue Devils with 21 points while Preston Dennison added 14 points.
Tully led 26-24 at the half and kept it close until a rally of free throws sealed the win in the extra session.
“Thirteen of the 18 points Tully scored in overtime were free throws,” Cato-Meridian coach Ryan Brunelle said.

The Blue Devils are looking forward to stopping the losing streak and regaining some of its early-season confidence.
