Last Tuesday, Dexter was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 41-36 to Sedan. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Dexter in their matchups with Sedan: they've now lost three in a row.
Meanwhile, South Haven came tearing into Tuesday's matchup with nine straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 18.4 points) and they left with even more momentum. They blew past Caldwell, posting a 56-28 victory on the road. South Haven has made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won seven matchups by 22 points or more this season.
Dexter dropped their record down to 2-6 with that loss, which was their fourth straight at home.
