On Senior Night it was only fitting that a senior made one of the longest field goals in school history. Tied at 53-53, visiting Pioneer fired a three-pointer in the final seconds to try and win the ballgame and avoid overtime. The ball clanked off the rim and Dexter senior Brady Rosen grabbed the rebound and launched a shot from the three-point line – yes, the OTHER three-point line.
The three-quarter length shot hit nothing but net and sent the crowd and the Dexter players into a frenzy as the shot beat the clock and the Dreadnaughts beat the talented Pioneers 56-53 in the regular-season finale for both schools.

Junior Drew Bishop scored 21 to lead the Pioneers. Kasean Pryor had 13 points and Jacob Williams scored nine points.
Dexter led 15-13 after the first quarter and 31-21 at halftime. Pioneer went on a 18-5 run in the third quarter to take the lead. Dexter outscored the Pioneers 20-14 in the final quarter – including three very big points at the end.
