Senior Garrett Nevels scored 12 points in both the second and third quarters, finishing with a game-high 32 as host Palisades defeated Dorsey, 74-65, in a City Section nonleague matchup Friday night.

The game was called with 2:47 remaining in the fourth quarter when Dorsey Coach Kevin Gibson was ejected after being assessed his second technical foul for arguing with the officials. By rule, if a referee disqualifies a coach the contest is forfeited and play terminated at that point.

Adam Griffin had 11 points and Kenneth Towner added nine for the Dolphins (11-4), who led 36-25 at halftime and 58-51 after three quarters.

Senior Anthony Dees scored 28 points, including 5 three-pointers, to lead Dorsey (6-7). The Dons made only 9 of 25 foul shots.
