Bell City, Missouri – The Bernie Mules are having a great start to the 2014 season winning six games thus far and only dropping one game. They traveled to Bell City Friday evening and defeated the Cubs 65 – 62.
“We really didn’t deserve to win tonight,” stated Bernie boys basketball coach Brad Botsch. “Bell City vastly outplayed and outhustled us. They lit up us time after time from outside and we continually failed to get out and guard them.”
Caleb Ellenburg tallied a game-high 40 points for the Mules. Brandon Sparks recorded 10 points. Matt Vernon added 8 points.
Cole Nichols recorded a game-high six 3-pointers for Bell City and finished with 27 points. Bobby Wright tallied 12 points all treys. Kolten Siebert added 10 points including two 3-pointers and Nate Finney finished with 9 points including one trey.
Bernie jumped out to a 17-7 lead over Bell City in the first period and scored double digits in all four periods. Bell City outscored Bernie in the second period, but it was not enough to take the lead. They matched each other in the 3rd and 4th periods with 15 and 18 points respectively.
“I really saw this coming and tried to convey that to our kids, but we didn’t get up for this game like we should have and narrowly escaped with a win. We have to earn every victory and not feel entitled to get it,” continued Botsch. “Bell City really brought it tonight and you have to give the a lot of credit for pushing us to the brink of a loss. We have a lot of improvements to make and it all starts with our attitudes and being 100% coachable.”
Fourth seeded Bernie will travel to Bloomfield to participate in the 58th Annual Bloomfield Christmas Tournament on Friday. They take on the East Prairie Eagles at 2:00 p.m.
In JV action the Mules earned a forfeit win playing only two quarters due to not enough athletes for Bell City. The JV Mules have a record of 5-1.

Dexter, Missouri – Archrival Richland Rebels journeyed into the land of the Bearcats on Friday evening hoping for another win, but were disappointed. Dexter’s varsity boys basketball team conquered the Rebels and earned their first win of the 2014 season defeating Richland 75 – 40 at the Bearcat Event Center.
“We have played five real good basketball teams in the SEMO Conference and tried to control the ball against them, but tonight we were going to let the kids play free and run up and down the floor,” commented Dexter boys head basketball coach Josh Dowdy. “It seems like the kids enjoyed doing it and I think we hit five 3-pointers early.”
Austin Chesser was the man to beat earning him a game-high 26 points and hitting three treys in the first quarter.
“Chesser seemed real comfortable in the offense,” stated Dowdy. “We will keep pushing him when we can. We just don’t want to play keep away all year long.”
Dexter dominated Richland throughout the game leading 36 – 12 at the end of the first period.
“The first half when we were able to press them we caused them problems,” Dowdy said. “We talked at halftime about how we could get better and the kids were like ‘I think man to man’. We struggle guarding man to man so we came out and tried to play man and we actually didn’t do very well to be quite honest. But we are just trying to grow, get better every day and challenge ourselves in every facet of the game.”
Skyler Harper led the Richland Rebels with a team-high 15 points. Preston Tilley hit three treys and tallied 11 points. Josh Thornton scored one 3-pointer and finished with 9 points.
“It was nice to go to in the locker-room and see the kids smile,” Dowdy said. “We have worked all summer long and these kids have done about everything I have asked them to do with our 25 contact days from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. They deserved this victory tonight. The kids can go home, not have to come back to school on Monday and enjoy this!”
Jason Jarrell tallied 19 points against the Rebels. Jacob Pedigo tallied 14 points. Peyton Pollock hit two treys and scored 8 points.
Dexter (1-5) will be back in action when they travel to Bloomfield for the Annual Christmas Tournament slated to begin Friday, December 26th. Dexter has the #6 seed and will play #11 seed Portageville at 5:00 p.m.
Richland (2-4) is also scheduled to appear in the Bloomfield Christmas Tournament. They are seeded #16 and will play the #1 seed Hayti at 10:00 a.m. Friday morning.
