DHS Girls Go To .500 With Two Big Wins

The DHS Lady Longhorns' basketball team is again playing .500 basketball and appears to be peaking at the right time of the year following big wins over Nebraska Lutheran and Clay Center this week. The Dorchester girls are now 10-10 on the season, putting them near the middle of the pack in Class D1, which claims more than 60 teams from across the state.

On Thursday night, the Lady Longhorns posted a 52-48 win over Nebraska Lutheran. At one point in the second quarter, the Lady Longhorns held a 23-7 lead. At the half, Dorchester led the Lady Knights by a score of 25-15. Dorchester began the fourth quarter with a 39-26 lead and held NLHS to just two points over the final eight minutes of the game. Charity Springer scored a game-high 20 to pace the Longhorns. Karmen Lawver was also in double-figures as she finished with 10. To read the York News-Times' coverage of the game, go to this link.

On Friday evening, the Lady Longhorns squeaked by the squad from Clay Center, 37-34. The Lady Longhorns will conclude their regular season this Friday at the DHS gymnasium as they take on the Lady Hawks of Hampton.

  1. If DHS led 39-26 after 3 qtrs and held Nebraska Lutheran to 2 in the fourth, how did the final score get to 52-48? Did Dorchester score in the wrong basket a few times?
