NEWS ROUND-UP: DHS Football Season Ends; Community Foundation Dinner is Nov. 14


DHS Falls to Red Cloud in First Round of State Playoffs: The Longhorns 2020 football season came to a disappointing conclusion Friday evening, Oct. 30, as DHS fell to Red Cloud in the first round of the Nebraska playoffs for six-man football. The final tally was 50-36. With the game tied 20-20 late in the second quarter, Red Cloud scored 22 straight to put the game out of reach. Blake Hansen threw for 254 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Longhorns. (See the Hastings Tribune summary of the game.) Fans in Dorchester, while disappointed with the loss, say they are impressed by the team's progress from 2018, which marked the first time many Dorchester boys had played competitive tackle football.
