Dinuba wins first basketball section title since 1929

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The last time the Dinuba boys basketball team won a Central Section title, Herbert Hoover was president of the United States and gas was 21 cents a gallon.

The Emperors ended the 95-year drought Friday night with a 46-42 win over Mission Prep to clinch the D-II crown on night one of the championship games at Selland Arena.
