Red Hook High’s Dan Totten provided the crucial points for the Raiders boys basketball team in the Section 9, Class A tournament.
Totten’s free throws in the closing seconds helped to clinch Red Hook’s 45-44 win over Cornwall in the sectional championship game.
The junior forward is the Freeman Sportsman of the Week.
Totten’s winning points came with 26.4 seconds remaining and the Raiders’ undefeated season on the line.

His final line included six field goals and a 3-for-4 performance at the foul line.
