Dover tops Caesar Rodney for fourth DIAA Unified basketball state title
NEWARK — Dover High captured the DIAA Unified basketball state title with a 36-28 win over Caesar Rodney on Saturday afternoon at the Carpenter Center.
The title was the fourth in five seasons for the Senators, who finish the season with a record of 8-1. The Riders finish with a record of 12-2 with both losses coming to Dover.
The Senators led 18-11 at halftime and took a 32-20 advantage into the fourth quarter. Caesar Rodney closed within 33-36 with two remaining before Dover closed out the win.
This was the sixth year that the DIAA has held a Unified state championship in basketball. The sport matches up special-needs students with student partners from each school.
Dover and CR shared the state championship in 2020 when the finals were canceled because of the COVID pandemic.
