Dorchester Defeats Burke in Thursday Matchup

Hello Everyone. The Dorchester High Bears overcame a sluggish first half on the offensive side of the ball and managed to capatilize on J.E. Burke's turnovers on their way to a hardfought 14-0 victory at White Stadium Thursday. The much improved Bulldawgs from Burke were dealt a couple of questionable blows from the officials as well.Burke had not only a touchdown called back because of a hold,but a touchback that featured a premature whistle. Overall,the Bears outslugged their opponents late in the game,after going into haltime tied 0-0. Team depth was a factor as well as the Burke just doesn't have the numbers at this stage to rotate enough fresh players in and out of games. An exiting pick 6 proved to be the difference.
Congratulations to Dorchester High on their victory. That being said,alot of credit and admiration must also go to the Burke players and coaches. They've come a long way in a short time. They play hard every down and show no signs of quitting. It's hard to put into words, but if you watch this team play for 4 quarters you can't help but to notice that their coaching staff has laid down a strong foundation that shows an abundance of promise.
