NEWS ROUNDUP: DHS' Ridge Hoffman Scores 21 In Season Finale


DHS' Hoffman Shines In Season Finale:  The Dorchester boy's basketball team has concluded its season.  The Longhorn men lost a close sub-district contest last week, falling to Osceola 43-39.  Nearly half of DHS' points were scored by sophomore Ridge Hoffman. The young Longhorns squad looked to Hoffman's leadership all season long as Hoffman emerged as a standout throughout the 2017-18 campaign, consistently scoring in double digits. The DHS starter earned a reputation for being adept inside the paint and from well behind the 3-point arc, scoring well over 20 points on several occasions. 

DHS Speech Team Has Strong Lineup In 2018: Dorchester's 2018 speech team has grown to seven this year.  The team is competing in several locations this season, from Crete to Meridian to Sutton to McCool Juntion.  This year's team is comprised of the following students: Daisha Hoffman, Ridge Hoffman, Harmony Shepherd, Timmy Newlin, Kohl Tyser, Breanna Muff and Jaki Acosta.  Coaches are Deb Nerud-Vernon and Karen Hrdlicka.

Saline County Sheriff To Step Up Patrol:  We've received word that the Saline County Sheriff's Department will have an increased presence in our community.  The reason is unclear and we've not reached out to the sheriff's department for comment, but our sources are reliable.  Citizens are encouraged to always be part of the solution by being watchful and vigilant, and reporting illegal or suspicious behavior by calling the Saline Sheriff's Department at 402-821-2111.  Dorchester is fortunate to have a strong relationship with our county law enforcement officials.

  1. Congratulations to Daisha Hoffman for taking first place at Conference Speech Tournament! Hoffman competed in Poetry during the season making strides to break finals at each meet. Hoffman earned a superior rating in her first round and 'broke' finals through her second round at the conference meet. Hoffman was awarded first place in her prose delivering a powerful poetry theme on "Hurt". Good luck to the entire speech team as they prepare for district speech competition on March 13 at Southwest High School.
