DOMinating the Paint

By Christian Phelps '13

  Heads turned in awe as he walked down the halls. He was used to it, though. Standing at six-foot-five, Dominic Pilcher ‘13 has been one of the standouts in a crowd. The brother of recent Red Cloud graduate Tayler Morgan ’12, Dom transferred to this side of the border from Chadron High School. Previously known to Red Cloud only for his buzzer-beater layup to beat our JV team last year, Pilcher came to our fair school in an attempt to relate more to his culture. He wanted to try something new before branching out into life after high school.

             

Dominic enjoys football and baseball, but gave up the latter over summer in order to help the Crusaders bulldoze the other teams in the summer league. He has now reaped the rewards of that decision, becoming Red Cloud’s starting Forward/Center. Using his size to work the paint, Dom has made a name for himself on the Red Cloud Crusaders team.

             

When he isn’t doing work down low, Pilcher has been found reigning over opponents in a completely different sport. He prides himself on his table tennis skills, known to be the only player to have ever beat Michael “Thunder Cat” Sunderland in a match. Other than that, you can find him online slayin’ dragons or kicking back with the homies.

              

Dom says he likes his decision to move to Red Cloud. He enjoys the change of environment and wishes he had made the transfer earlier.

Speaking on behalf of the school, Dominic, we wish so too.
