The Logan boys basketball team advanced to the finals Saturday at the Dora Tournament but encountered a big roadblock in Dora center Steven Masini.
Masini, a 6-foot-5, 220-pound senior center, scored 26 points and grabbed 13 rebounds against the Longhorns during a 49-37 victory, giving the tourney title to the Coyotes (4-0).
“Their big man is a load for anyone in the state to guard,” Logan coach Kyle Griffiths said. “If we would have made some open shots, we would have been right there at the end.
“Overall, I’m proud of the way we competed for the first games of the year.”
Dora grabbed a double-digit advantage early and kept a lead for the rest of the contest. Logan rallied to within one by halftime, but a 15-4 third quarter by Dora essentially sealed the victory.
Brock Burns led Logan (2-1) with 10 points.
