Chris Craft scored with 7.6 seconds remaining in the game Tuesday night to lift the Dowagiac junior varsity boys' basketball team to a come-from-behind 54-51 victory over South Haven.
With the game tied at 51, Craft drove down the lane, scored and was fouled on the play.
He calmly sank his free throw to cap the victory for the Chieftains.
Craft led Dowagiac with 17 points. The Chieftains also got nine points from Jason Turner, Anthony Nelson and Alex Miller.
