DHS Boys Win Tourney; Lady 'Horns Snag 2nd Place

In a prime time match-up Tuesday night at "the coral" in Dorchester, the DHS boys' basketball team beat Class C-2 Cross County 55-51 to claim the top spot at the Dorchester Holiday Tournament . Despite trailing 27-17 at halftime, the Longhorns rallied on the shooting of Brandon Bruha as the team scored 38 points in the final two periods. Those scoring for DHS were Zoubek 8, Bruha 24, Lee 3, Morris 7, Walton 8, Palky 1, Kotas 4. Several who watched the game noted the solid defensive effort of the Orange and Black Attack.

In the girls' championship game, the Lady Longhorns suffered their first defeat of the season against a scrappy squad from Deshler in 66-60 contest. Despite scoring 44 points in the final two periods, the DHS girls could not overcome their slow start, in which they scored only six points in period No. 2. The Longhorn scorers were Pracheil 21, M. Havlat 13, Springer 12, Lawver 6, A. Havlat 4, Boller 2, Spanyers 2.

Both Dorchester basketball teams resume action Jan. 8 in a make-up contest at Sterling. On Jan. 9, both DHS squads will battle Meridian in another road contest.

  1. I am really happy with the effort of the kids this year and think they are representing our town very well. Keep it up basketballers and wrestlers.
