Dexter senior Alan Flannigan signed his National Letter of Intent on Wednesday to play basketball at Lafayette College of the NCAA Division I Patriot League.

The 6-foot-7 Flannigan averaged 19.9 points per game his junior year while also averaging 8.9 rebounds per game and over two blocks and steals per game. He was a 76 percent free throw shooter and a 37 percent 3-point shooter.

Look for a complete story in next Wednesday's DAR as we lead up to the start of high school basketball season.
