OBA sweep spoils Dover homecoming night

Oklahoma Bible Academy used a dominant third quarter last Friday to spoil Dover’s basketball homecoming.

Prior to the games, Yazaret Gamez and Trinton Ritz were crowned homecoming queen and king. In the boys game, the Trojans outscored the host squad 14-4 in the third en route to a 65-52 victory. The loss dropped Dover to 3-3 entering an off week for the Thanksgiving holiday.

The Longhorns led by a point after a quarter and were tied with the Trojans at the half.

Once OBA made its run in the third, they couldn’t fully close the gap.

They got balanced scoring as Joriaun Caldwell led the team with 15 points. Emory Norton added 12 and Ritz 11.

That loss was on the heels of a 68-11 victory the previous Tuesday at Taloga.

It was Dover’s second win over the Panthers this season.

Like their fi rst match-up, Dover dominated from the start and led 24-0 after a quarter. The score was 39-3 at the half before Dover went on a 20-2 run in the third.

Diego Lopez and Damion Turner scored eight apiece for Dover.

Dover’s second loss of the season came Nov. 15 at Drummond as the Bulldogs emerged 53-39.

Kasen Harviston added nine points and Ritz scored seven.
