New Madrid, Missouri - The Lady 'Cats traveled to New Madrid to take on the Eagles Thursday evening and completely destroyed them 96 - 21.  Every Bearcat was given an opportunity to play against New Madrid and several scored.

Dexter started out slow, but quickly moved the tempo and began scoring and scoring and scoring throughout the night!  The Bearcats scored 28 points in each of the first 3 quarters and held the Eagles to only five points in the second half.

"I didn't think we really started out that well," commented Dexter's head coach Chad Allen.  "We missed a few of the shots early and I didn't think we really guarded well in the beginning of the game, but once we settled in I thought the girls played really well."

Dakota Reynolds had a game-high 20 points followed by Paige Patterson with 19 points.  Dakota sunk four 3-pointers against the Eagles.

"Dakota Reynolds can definitely score," Allen stated.  "That's one thing we do really well as a team.  All seven of our varsity  players can score on any given night.  She did well tonight."

Three other Bearcats scored in double digits.  Erika Cobb tallied 16 points and Hannah Noe finished with 17 points.  Alison Jarrell hit three treys for Dexter and ended with 11 points.

The JV Bearcats also played, but just two quarters and defeated the NMCC JV Eagles by a score of 21-20.  Photos are available on our Facebook page, just click HERE.

Allen commented about the upcoming tournament, "We just need to be focused and ready for anything."
