Dundy County-Stratton scored the final seven points of the game for a 54-50 win over East Butler in the D1-7 title contest Wednesday. In a game that featured six lead changes and nine ties, DCS made the big plays down the stretch.

Trailing 50-47, Dante Horner hit his only field goal of the game to tied it at 50 with under a minute to go. After DCS got a stop, the Tigers could have played for the final shot. But Ethan Latta inbounded, got an immediate return pass from Lane Bybee and drove to the hole. He was fouled and hit two free throws to give DCS the lead with 11 seconds remaining.

Dundy County-Stratton would force the 19th East Butler turnover left.
