Tyson Dobbins had a memorable Senior Night in his last appearance on his home floor at Williamson Gym at Desert Christian High School as he set a new school record by scoring 50 points as Desert Christian prevailed over St. Augustine 67-31 in 2A South Region action. He also added 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. In doing so, he became only the 11th player in Arizona (AIA) boys high school basketball history and the 3rd Tucson high school player ever to go over 2500 career points. His total is now 2534 points with one regular season game to go. He was able to reach this remarkable achievement even after undergoing ACL reconstruction surgery last April and being absent from competition for eight months prior to his Senior Season. @AZSPORTSNETWORK @AZPreps365Andy @JavierJMorales @azc_obert @GreggRosenberg1 @SmallBallPodAZ @jjmillyardaz @ElviaVerdugo @TucsonSpartans @gilaheraldjon @AZPrepVarsity @KOLDNews @KVOASports @JasonBarr @SmallBallPodAZ

And the foul call less than a minute into OT that took Dobbins out of the game after Desert Christian had just taken a 73-72 lead. Camp Verde ultimately prevailed 80-77.

And the play by Colt Schmuker that tied the game 70-70 at the buzzer after the incredible comeback by Desert Christian.

Here's the shot by Tyson Dobbins that gave him over 2000 career varsity points and brought Desert Christian to within two points of Camp Verde 70-68 with 3 seconds left in the 2A State playoff game on Tuesday night. @AZSPORTSNETWORK @AZPreps365Andy @JavierJMorales @azc_obert @GreggRosenberg1 @SmallBallPodAZ @jjmillyardaz @ElviaVerdugo @TucsonSpartans @gilaheraldjon
