This week's edition of the Friend Sentinel recaps the last Saturday's nail-biter between the DHS boys basketball squad and next door rival Friend Bulldogs.
"A second-quarter surge put the Friend boys’ basketball
team up 35-24 at halftime, but Dorchester battled back in the second half
before losing a tightly-contested 58-53 game."
The paper quotes Dorchester's new coach Adrian Allen, who is credited for adding a new spark to the team, as saying the Longhorns didn’t
keep their intensity for four quarters.
“The boys did a good job of coming back from 19 down at
one point to have a shot at winning at the end,” Allen said. “The Friend team
played well, and we didn’t match their energy.
We need to continue to work on playing a full 32 minutes if we want to
be compared with the good teams in Class D.”
A three-pointer by Dorchester’s Kolton Kaspar cut the
margin to two at 52-50 with a minute to play in the game, but Friend was able
to hit free throws down the stretch to get the win.
