Friend Sentinel Recaps DHS-Friend Basketball Contest


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.
