Huron High School junior forward Kyle Baker raced toward the basket on the opening play of the fourth quarter at Dexter High School.

The visiting River Rat fans rose to their feet as Baker prepared to leap for a dunk, but just as he left the floor, Baker was fouled hard from behind. The push sending him up into the stands, almost to the track surrounding the floor.

Baker had to be restrained by his teammates after the foul and, after he missed the ensuing free throws, it was unclear if he and his team would regain its focus.

Huron guard A.J. Mathew answered that question on the ensuing play. After Dexter grabbed the rebound, Mathew stole the ball and found Dante Williams underneath. Williams flushed home a hard double-handed slam and let out a scream as the momentum shifted back to the River Rats once and for all in the 55-39 victory.
