Thorsby High School’s basketball teams faced off against Dallas County
High School’s squads on Thursday afternoon.

The boys game was no contest as the Hornets of DCHS defeated the
Rebels, 59-35.

Andrew Farris was the high scorer for the Rebels with 11 points, including a couple of 3-pointers.

The Lady Rebels fared slightly better than their male counterparts but still lost, 44-21.

The score was 11-10 at the end of the first period in favor of the Lady Hornets, who took a three-point lead into halftime, 21-18.

The Rebels’ leading scorer on the season, Sharonda Cooper, did not play for most of the second half due to an illness.

The Lady Hornets took advantage of this by shutting out the Lady
Rebels offense in the third quarter.

DCHS held the Lady Rebels to only three points in the final stanza.

THS freshman Megan Sanchez and Cooper, a junior guard, accounted
for most of the Lady Rebels points with 7 apiece.

DCHS junior Takeela Mixon led her team with a game-high 24 points.

THS’s boys and girls have one more game before the Chilton County tournament next week, as they will face Jefferson Christian High School Friday night.

Tip-off is scheduled for 5 p.m. in Thorsby.
