Dexter, Missouri - The T.S. Hill Middle School 7th Grade Girls Basketball Team ended their season with a win defeating the Sikeston Bulldogs 50 - 31.  They improved their record to 11 wins with only one loss to the Jackson Lady Indians.

It was an intense first half with Sikeston jumping out to lead the Bearcats, but the girls would not give up.  Chaylea Mosby forced multiple turnovers grabbing the ball and running down the court to score.

What a great season it has been for Chaylea.  Despite a small scare in the 4th when she left the game with a cramp in her leg, Mosby had a game high of 32 points against the Bulldogs.

Six of her teammates contributed each with a basket along with Rylee Allen who added four.

Tebrya Benford was the only Bulldogs in double digits scoring 21 points for Sikeston.


The season may be over, but fans can't wait until next year.

Activities related to deer hunting and watching support thousands of businesses in communities around the Show-Me State, support more than 12,000 Missouri jobs, and boost state and local economies by about $1 billion each year.
