Body

The Dublin Lions 7-on-7 football boys went 3 and 1 in tournament play Saturday at Hamilton.

Dublin started out the tournament with a 20-7 win over Rogers, which Dublin Coach Grag Hardcastle is historically a good team in a period of rebuild after losing several senior players.

Dublin followed this with a 34-0 shutout over Hamilton in a game in which Dublin made several interceptions.

The Lions qualified for the semifinals with a 28-12 win over Hico.

In the semifinals versus Millsap, Dublin was down but tied it up 20-20 in the last play when Chris Teten threw a jumping pass to Dalan Rasberry and the team succeeded in a twopoint play afterwards. Millsap claimed the win in overtime.

Dublin has another chance to qualify for state play Friday as they host 7 teams in a state qualifying tournament on the Bob & Norma Cervetto Field starting at 9 a.m.

Pool A will include Dublin, Hamilton, Tioga and Eastland.

Pool B will include Rio Vista, Tolar, Hico and Brady.

Dublin will play in the north side of the field taking on Tioga at 9 a.m., Eastland at 10:20 a.m. and Hamilton at 11:40 a.m. Semifinals between the top two teams in the pools will start at 1:15 p.m.
