Dover squads get blowout wins over Gracemont, Pioneer

The second half didn’t provide a lot of offense for either team Monday night in Dover.

Fortunately for the Longhorns, they did enough in the first half.

Dover won its fifth straight game as it downed Pioneer-Pleasant Vale 4124 at home.

Much of the work was done early as Dover led 34-16 at halftime before the teams combined for just 15 second-half points.

Nathan Cohee knocked down three of his five 3-pointers during that stretch.

He led all scorers with 17 points.

Casen Buck added 10 for the Longhorns and Lucas Conrady scored eight.

A somber crowd watched last Thursday night as Dover got its 15th win of the season by downing Gracemont 76-23 on the road.

Just hours before the game, a Gracemont senior’s father was killed in a traffic accident, leaving the team without some of its players.

Buck had a massive first half as he scored all 23 of his points.

The hosts had one good quarter as Devon Edge scored 11 of Gracemont’s 15 points in the second quarter.

However, Dover countered with 34 of which 14 came from Buck.

Cohee added eight in the quarter and scored all 15 of his points in the first half.

Conrady chipped in 13 more points.

The Longhorns entered Tuesday night’s regular- season finale against Canton with a 16-8 record.
