Dexter girls basketball faced Ann Arbor Huron in the playoffs.  Huron had given Dexter big problems during the regular season, so the Dreadnaughts desperately wanted to get a win over the River Rats,

Dexter played an excellent first half, building a double-digit lead by halftime.

The second half wasn’t as kind to Dexter, though, and Huron came back to take a slim lead late in the fourth quarter.

But Dexter fought back, retook the lead and used excellent defense to force a turnover and a foul on Huron’s last possession to seal the win.

And there was much rejoicing.

Finally, on a humorous note: sometimes signs just aren’t enough to get your message across.

If you can’t read it, the sign says “Please Do Not Sit Above This Sign”.

Back to the action:

With eight seconds left, Dexter held a slim lead.  The Braves hurriedly brought the ball down the court, passed it to Derrick Richardson in the corner, and…

…as the buzzer sounded, Richardson’s shot went through for the win.  Naturally, they were a little happy about it.
