Longhorns push win streak to 12 games

Make that 12 straight wins for the Dover boys basketball team.

The Longhorns put on another defensive clinic Tuesday in a 47-15 road win at Medford.

The point total was the lowest of the season for the Cardinals. Their second-lowest was 20 points…also against Dover when the two teams met in the semifinals of a tournament in December.

Medford had just five points and one field goal at halftime and didn’t score more than seven points in any quarter.

Up 8-1 after one frame, Dover grabbed hold of the game with a 17-4 run in the second.

Casen Buck scored seven of his game-high 14 points in that quarter.

Dover also got 13 points from Lucas Conrady and 10 from Jonah Pendergraft.

After losing their first game of the season, the Longhorns are now 12-1 and have moved up to No. 9 in the Class B rankings.

Dover is surrendering an average of just 27.8 points a game through those 13 contests.
