It has been many moons since Dorchester had a 6-1 football team. (You'd likely need to go back to our list of the best DHS teams ever to find out the last time -- 1999 by our records.)
But that's exactly what Dorchester has -- a team with six wins and one regular season game left to play. The Longhorns routed Lincoln's Parkview Christian, 50-24, on Friday night at Nerud Field. (See ABC Channel 8's coverage at the 3:50 mark. See 10/11's coverage here at the 4:31 mark.)
The No. 17 Patriots came into Dorchester with four wins. Dorchester was ranked No. 12 this week -- so this game had playoff implications. With the win, DHS will not only be in the playoffs, but will likely host the first-round contest.
Parkview showed sparks of life in the second quarter, scoring consecutive touchdowns with big plays. But the Patriots couldn't overcome the damage DHS inflicted in the first quarter, when the Longhorns ran up the score 32-6.
DHS' Collyn Brummett continued to build upon his six-man legacy, racking up 155 yards and five touchdowns. Quarterback Blake Hansen was 10 of 13 through the air, good for 160 yards. And Kohl Tyser hauled in five receptions for 120 yards, including a touchdown.
The regular season finale for DHS will be at No. 1 McCool Junction next Friday, Oct. 23 -- and what a test it will be. McCool is 6-0 on the year after walloping Hampton 80-0.
