The Southland boys basketball team overcame a slow offensive night to beat Dover-Eyota (0-4 overall, 0-3 Three Rivers) 50-42 in Adams Friday.

The Rebels (2-2 overall, 2-2 Three Rivers) struggled at times, but they didn’t give in.

“The difference between this year and last year is we stuck with it and kept going forward,” Southland head coach Matt Webber said. “I was happy with the win. In the past we probably would’ve folded.”

DE 22 20 — 42

Southland 23 27 — 50
