DHS Boys Come Up Just Short -- Again

In another nail biter, the DHS boys basketball team fell to Shickley Tuesday night, 55-54, in their first round of CRC Tournament action. (See the York News-Times story by clicking here.)

The Longhorns, now 8-4 on the season, have lost three of four games by a combined total of nine points.

Throughout the game, No. 4 seed DHS led fifth seeded Shickley only twice -- once right before halftime and again following a Brandon Bruha three-pointer with only about 30 seconds remaining in the contest.

With just over 20 seconds remaining in the game, DHS gave up a basket to a Shickley player who made his only basket of the night. Dorchester could not convert after getting the ball with 2.9 seconds on the clock.

Scoring for DHS were: Zoubek 13, Bruha 27, Morris 2, Walton 8, and Kotas 4.

The DHS boys will have an opportunity to settle the score soon. Their next contest comes Feb. 3 in a home contest that will again pit Dorchester against Shickley.

  1. Good effort, guys.

    If a couple of the team members can step up production, this will go from a better than average team to a great Dorchester team. I think this team can easily end up with 12 wins this year. Giltner is beatable. If you guys win a dozen, the state tourney is not out of the question. To do that you have to have more points inside the paint.

  2. Longhorns are the Huskers of Class D-1! Coming up just a bit on the short end of the stick. Turn it up just a little, boys, and you'll make this an unforgettable season.
