DHS' Gabby Theis Hits Buzzer Beater For CRC Victory

Now in its 30th year of membership in the Crossroads Conference, Dorchester is again getting some respect after a dramatic first-round victory by the Lady Longhorns at this weekend's CRC basketball tournament in York.

As reported by the York News-Times, High Plains held a 30-26 lead over Dorchester with under one minute to play in last night's game, but it wasn’t enough.

The Longhorns "got two free throws from Addison Lehr to make it 30-28, and then with barely any time on clock, 5-3 freshman Gabrielle Theis drilled a three-pointer to put the Dorchester girls in the quarterfinals where they take on the No. 2 seed Meridian Mustangs at 6 p.m. on Monday." (Watch the final play of the game.)

Dorchester was led in scoring by Hailey Schweitzer with nine points, all on 3-pointers, while Baylor Behrns and Amber Kotas put up seven and six points respectively. The Longhorns were 11 of 33 from the field and that included a respectable 5 of 13 on 3-pointers.

Every game of the CRC tournament you can hear on 104.9 Max Country, KOOL Radio AM and FM, and a live video broadcast from Striv TV.

Meanwhile, the DHS boys, who were without the services of Garrett Nohavec due to illness, dropped their first-round CRC contest to Shelby-Rising City, 45-21.

    1. If the ref said the ball was off in time, then it was off in time. No sense in commenting on something that a ref called.
