Dorchester Moves Up To No. 8; Outscoring Opponents 181-51


Dorchester's football team continues to move up the rankings ladder, now entering the fourth week of the high school season.

Following a 63-19 walloping of Hampton this past Friday, the Omaha World-Herald has ranked DHS at No. 8 this week. 

The Lincoln Journal Star, however, keeps Dorchester at No. 9 -- placing two teams with one loss already before the Longhorns.

Dorchester beat St. Edward 56-19 in Week 2, and handed Walthill a 62-13 defeat in Week 1.

In the Longhorns' first three contests of the year, Dorchester has scored 181 points, the second-highest total of Nebraska's six-man top 10 teams. 

The Longhorns' stout defense has allowed 51 points combined -- tied for the fourth fewest in six-man football.

Dorchester has a bye this week, as do three other top 10 teams. The Longhorns have apparently lost starter Karter Tyser to a knee injury and will need to find someone to fill his big shoes on defense.

Meanwhile, Harvard -- the state's No. 1 six-man team -- takes on ranked Sterling this Friday.
