Dover put the defensive clamps on yet another team.

The Longhorns downed Garber 43-33 on the road Tuesday night for their 11th straight win.

Dover was stingy early as it gave up just one field goal and four points in the first quarter.

Jonah Pendergraft matched that by himself. That plus 3-pointers from Casen Buck and Lucas Conrady allowed Dover to take a 12-4 lead.

Conrady added another trey in the second quarter and Pendergraft scored seven more to help Dover take a 26-15 lead into the break.

Colton Steinert made two 3-pointers in that second quarter for Garber.

He stayed warm with three more in the second half and scored 18 on the night.

However, the rest of the Wolverines struggled to contribute.

After Garber cut its deficit to single digits entering the fourth, Buck came through with seven points in the final quarter to help secure the win.

Pendergraft led the Longhorns with 17 while Buck scored 12 and Conrady nine.

Dover returns to the court Jan. 7 when it travels to Medford.
