Dexter, Missouri – The Bulldogs were finally able to travel to the Bearcat Event Center Thursday evening and take on the Dexter Bearcats. With bad weather, snow and ice the game had been postponed from its original date of December 6, 2013. The Bulldogs are having a good year improving their record to 14-3 on the season as they defeated the Bearcats by a score of 74-42.
The Bearcats did well in the first half keeping pace with the Bulldogs. At the end of the first quarter Sikeston was leading by just 5 points. Then the Bulldogs did what they usually do and opened up to a fast paced scoring run. At the half the Bearcats were trailing 39 – 23.
Peyton Pollock had a great evening with a game-high 18 points for Dexter. He hit two treys as well. D.J. Dowdy finished with 10 points including one 3-pointer.
Sikeston out-rebounded Dexter and forced 28 turnovers in the game, something they do very well.
Reese Porter led the Bulldogs with a team-high 12 points. Dominique Dyes tallied 11 points including 3 treys. Dantrell Brown, Marqese Parks and Zach Harrison each contributed a 3-pointer and nine other teammates tallied points for the Bulldogs. They are truly a team spirited group of individuals and are very unselfish when it comes to sharing the points.
Dexter will be back in action Friday, February 7th at 6 p.m. in the Bearcat Event Center when they host the Advance Hornets.
