On Senior Night, Senior Keegan Dickson made a game winning put back as time expired to give the Lightning a 79-78 win.  It was a rough start for Eastview, as nothing seemed to go right and shots were not dropping.  Trailing by 20, the rally started.  Martin Mitchell carried the offensive load, scoring 14 of his 23 points in the second half.  Sean Ryan hit a deep 3 to put the Lightning within 2.  After a missed Couger free throw, Jameson Bryan hit a 3 to put Eastview up 1 with under 15 seconds to play.  Lakeville South quickly responded with a bucket at the 6 second mark to take back the lead.  Mitchell was able to get a desperation shot off, which Dickson gathered with under a second to play, and guided it home.  Big win for the seniors on their special night.  After Mitchell's 23, Dickson and Ryan both had 16 points, and Bryan had 10.  A special shout out to our seniors:  Keegan, Drew, Obi, Ronnie & Alex – thank you for your dedication to the Lightning Basketball program!  RISE AS ONE!
