Farmington, Missouri - After a long winter’s nap the Lady Cats stormed the Farmington Lady Knightetts’ gym beating them 56-30 in their first game of the new year.
"We were a little rusty at the start of the game," stated Dexter girls basketball coach Chad Allen. 'Once we knocked down a few shots and got our defense going we made a big run."
The #7th State Ranked Lady Bearcats took over in the second quarter and everything just started clicking. They worked the ball in and out and got their shots scoring 36 points before the end of the first half.
Dexter also did well at the charity stripe completing 15 of their 17 attempts. "We shot really well from the free throw line tonight," commented Allen.
Six Lady Cats scored for Dexter. Three were in double figures.
Senior Dakota Reynolds tallied a game-high 15 points for Dexter including two treys.
Freshman Chaylea Mosby recorded 14 points including two 3-pointers.
Junior Krysten Garrison had a big second quarter for the Lady Cats finishing the game with 13 total points and completing 7 of 8 at the charity stripe.
