DHS celebrates homecoming tonight by welcoming Diller-Odell to Nerud Field in a 7 p.m. contest. The Times is predicting a 42-30 victory for the Longhorns, 2-2, over the 1-3 Diller-Odell squad. Despite a heartbreaking four-point loss last Friday to unbeaten Humboldt-Table Rock-Steinauer, DHS is showing an improved defense, especially up front. Last week's Times' MVP was Chuck Parks.
Entering week five of high school football, Dorchester is in need of a victory if the Longhorns want to contend for the state Class D-1 playoffs, which begin Oct. 25.
Dorchester is curently ranked No. 43 in the Class D-1 team point standings, according to the Nebraska School Activities Association. Teams must finish in the top 32 in order to qualify for post-season play.
Here is a look at selected schools in the Class D-1 point rankings:
1.) Lourdes Central Catholic (4-0), 45.0000
2.) Anselmo-Merna (4-0), 45.0000
3.) Pope John (4-0), 43.7500

Meanwhile, the Lady Longhorns ran into a rough patch this week, dropping contests to Diller-Odell, Meridian and 
Sterling.
Sterling.And on a somber note, with the new school construction planned for late next spring, one Times reader reminded us that tonight will likely be the last dance held in the school's old gymnasium, bringing to an end a long chapter in the history of Dorchester Public School.

The Times' staff politely declines the offer, anonymous. However, we are fairly certain the males on our staff have taken a few more snaps of the ball than you. Call it a hunch.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading the Times.
Hey dweller ....... I still say you should quit publishing negative comments like those of anonymous.......... I wouldnt put up with it.............. ask my kids what happened when they mouthed back...........
ReplyDeleteanonymous-------how rude. ask why people quit doing "community service" -- we work hard trying to improve things, which the majority of people appreciate and support, but we always have those few that seem to take pleasure picking up the negative and running with it. a wise friend once told me.....if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, figure this one out smart guy ... STFU.
