Bernie, Missouri - The Bernie Mules hosted the Woodland Cardinals defeating them 67 - 32. Bernie's varsity record improved to 5 - 0.
Nate Dillinger shot well earning a game-high 26 points. Blake Harty finished with an impressive 22 points for the Mules.
"We didn't shoot the ball as well as we had been, but did a pretty good job preventing them from scoring tonight," commented head boys basketball coach Brad Botsch. "Dillinger and Harty played well for us and we needed them to as the shots we normally hit didn't fall for us much."
"That's why we try and preach consistency on the defensive end," continued Botsch. "Even on off nights shooting, if we guard, we can still find a way to win."
