Cape Girardeau, Missouri – The Lady Bearcats traveled to Notre Dame High School to take on the highly ranked Bulldogs. These two teams are probably the top two teams in Southeast Missouri and what a great performance by both.
It was the Lady Cats coming out on top as they defeated the Bulldogs 60-54. It wasn’t easy and the ‘Cats new they had to put it all out on the court to earn this victory. They have competed against each other three years in a row in the Class 4 District 1 championship game with the Lady ‘Cats winning each time. It’s always good feeling for the Bearcats when they can defeat them in regular season as well.
The first half seemed to belong to the Notre Dame Lady Dogs though they were only ahead by 2 going into the 3rd quarter. “We didn’t defend very well in the first half,” stated Dexter’s head coach Chad Allen. “Notre Dame had too many open looks because we weren’t rotating quickly enough.”
Dexter owned the second half with their defensive strategy. They scored 25 points to Notre Dame’s 17 and Dexter’s awesome defense literally shut the Dogs down in the fourth quarter allowing only 6 points.
“I thought the girls did a great job in the 2nd half adjusting defensively,” continued Allen. “We only gave up 17 points in the 2nd half and only 6 in the 4th quarter.”Hannah Noe #10 had the game-high 21 points for the Bearcats hitting two treys. Alison Jarrell #12 scored 12 points all from 3-pointers. Erika Cobb #15 tallied 11 points and Paige Patterson #22 added 10 points.
The Dexter Bearcats will host Saxony Lutheran on Wednesday at the Bearcat Event Center.
Game time is 6:00 p.m.

Cape Girardeau, Missouri – The Bernie Mules traveled to Notre Dame high school on Friday night to take on the Bulldogs.
“We got an old-fashioned butt whipping tonight. Notre Dame whipped us and made us like it. We had more turn-overs I believe than we did shot attempts, and that isn’t a good recipe for success,” commented head coach Brad Botsch. “Until we value the basketball more than we did and make better decisions, we are going to have a hard time winning against great competition.”
Notre Dame defeated the Mules 69 – 46. Even with this loss, the Bernie Mules have an awesome win/loss record of 19-2 on the season.
“I just felt like we really didn’t compete very well, and we were at their mercy, and that shouldn’t be happening when you have 7 seniors and the district tournament 3 weeks away. The urgency hasn’t hit us yet and hopefully this will help remind us that we need to work harder. I knew this was coming.”
B.J. Jennings and Jake Wagner shared the team-high 12 points. Jennings hit two treys along with Brandon Sparks and Devin Trammell who each added one 3-pointer.
They play Hayti on Tuesday, February 11th in Bernie. Bernie has been recently plagued with a few injuries. Caleb Ellenburg is most likely out for a while. He was injured during the SCAA Tournament. Troy Kirkpatrick has been out since the beginning of the season and Bubby Schwent has missed a few games. Hopefully they will heal soon and be back in action at the barn. Game time is 6 p.m. Come out and cheer for the Mules!
“We play Hayti on Tuesday at home, and it’s a very big game for us against an incredibly athletic team. It will be interesting to see how we respond.”
Final Score Bernie 46 Notre Dame 69
Bernie Mules 7 11 15 13 - 46
Notre Dame 18 15 28 8 - 69
