Afflicted for the first half of Wednesday night's contest with an impotent offense and spiritless effort unknown to its home crowd, Dutchtown's girls basketball team still clung to hope at halftime. A 14-point deficit was not uncharted territory. Neither was its opponent.

So Dutchtown responded with the aplomb expected of a roster with six seniors. The Lady Bulldogs surged in the second half for a 55-46 victory in the second round of the Class AAAA tournament and more closely resembled the team that accomplished unprecedented feats in the regular season.
