Karlee Harviston accounted for the team’s other trey and scored 11 on the night.

They were led by Calen Cox, who scored 11. Kinzie Bell added nine points.

Tigers slow down Dover to grab win

Isaiah Lovett and Jayden Perkins combined for nine points in that quarter.

Crescent just went 2 for 5 from the foul line in the fourth, but Dover couldn’t manage a comeback.

The Longhorns made just 8 of 20 free throws for the game.

Kolten Shaw led Dover with 12 points. The Longhorns dropped to 3-4 with their second straight defeat.

Lovett paced the Tigers with 13.

He made three 3-pointers on the night, two in the second quarter.

Colby Watson and Chism Watson scored six apiece for the Tigers.

Eight different Crescent players scored in the game.
