Brosely, Missouri - The Lady Bearcats are making every game count as they cruise into the championship game set for Saturday evening.  The 'Cats are now 9-0 on the season and what a season it has been so far. 

The Dexter varsity girls’ basketball team is just one win away of a 3-peat at the Lady Royals Classic.  They defeated Twin Rivers 85-28 in the championship semifinal Friday evening.  These girls are quite impressive on the court and really work well together as a team.

Dexter had a very comfortable lead at half-time leading Twin Rivers 50 - 11.

Five of the 'Cats were in double digits.  Both Paige Patterson #22 and Melanie McKuin #11 had game-high points of 16 each.  Erika Cobb #15 and Hannah Noe #10 tallied 15 points apiece.  Alison Jarrell #12 contributed 12 points including 2 treys for Dexter.

Hannah Noe #10 and Sydney Rogers #21 each added a trey for the Bearcats.

The Lady ‘Cats will play the #2 seed Neelyville in the championship game Saturday evening.  Game time 6:30 p.m.
