HS Boys Hoop Report For 2-25: Dodgers Get Playoff W, Titans Tangle With Jags, Gaels Get Garrigan

Fort Dodge went to Sioux City Monday and knocked off West High 65-60 in their playoff opener. The Dodgers had a 1 point lead at half. West had a 7-0 to open the 3rd and took a 43-37 lead into the 4th. However, the 4th quarter belonged to Fort Dodge as they outscored West 28-17 in the final frame, closing the game on a 9-0 run. Dodgers were 5 for 5 from the foul line in the final 90 seconds of the game during that 9-0 run. It was a clinic on how to close out a game after Fort Dodge had struggled to close games in the regular season. Senior Ty Kershaw led the way with a double-double of 21 points and 10 boards, Dodgers are 3-1 when Kershaw goes for 20 or more. Junior Dayson Clayton added 14 although he sat most of the 3rd quarter with foul trouble. Clayton played the final 7:30 with 4 fouls and didn’t foul out. Sophomore Monterius Abrams-Altman was clutch scoring all 9 of his points in the 4th including going 4 for 4 from the line down the stretch. Fort Dodge will be on the road Friday taking on Ankeny in the next round of the playoffs and will look to avenge a 14 point loss to the Hawks from back on December 6th.
