The Dover High boys' basketball team came up just short in its quest for its first state championship.
Sanford scored the final four points of the game to win 48-45 over the Senators on Saturday at the Bob Carpenter Center in Newark.
Elijah Allen had given the Senators the lead with a layup and a free throw with :59 seconds left. Jyare Davis then put Sanford ahead for good with a putback with 29 seconds remaining.
Corey Perkins then added a layup after a steal for Sanford.
Allen paced Dover with 19 points. Eden Davis added 11.
Dover was attempting to finish the season unbeaten. Dover entered at 24-0 overall as the tournament's second seed.
The Senators were winless in four state championship games in their history entering the contest — against Wilmington in 1972, Brandywine in 1977, Glasgow in 2003 and Sanford in 2010.
