The Lady ‘Cats took to the courts in their second match in as many days this afternoon.


After opening the season with a 9-0 victory over the Charleston Lady Bluejays, the Lady ‘Cats moved on to face the Sikeston Lady Bulldogs - and they didn’t let up; Dexter’s JV and Varsity squads won every match.

The ‘Cats faced some tougher competition against the Bulldogs, with some close finishes in the single’s matches.

Jamie Manuel, Baylee Cooper, and Jessica Snider all participated in the most competitive singles matches for the Lady ‘Cats, with Snider coming up with more heroics in another come-from-behind victory.


“She had a very tough match again,” coach Leann Dooley said of Snider. “She had to come from behind at the end and win a tie-break.”

“Baylee [Cooper] had a very strong match,” Dooley added. “She also had to come from behind.”

Dexter’s JV squad saw their first action of the season, and Dooley seemed equally pleased with her younger girls.


“JV played great tennis,” Dooley noted. “Their hard work is paying off.”

The Lady ‘Cats will be on the road Thursday (Sept. 1) afternoon when they face off against the Poplar Bluff Lady Mules.


The match is set to get underway at 4:00 p.m.
