Bernie, Missouri - The Bernie Mules hosted the Advance Hornets at the Mule Barn Friday night. It was full to capacity with fans dressed in orange and blue. It was a close game, but the Mules were able to hold on and defeat the Hornets by a score of 84-83.
“Advance really came to play tonight and had us on the brink,” stated head coach Brad Botsch. “You really have to give them a lot of credit as they put offensive pressure on us all night and we weren’t able to contain them very well defensively. They knocked down their free throws, out-rebounded us, and out-hustled us much of the night.”
Advance's Lane Below tallied a team-high 29 points before fouling out late in the game. He also hit two treys for the Hornets. Eli Seger and Dalton Wilson scored in double figures. Seger tallied 14 and Wilson added 11 points. Four hornets fouled out including the top two scorers. Austin Miller and Dawson Mayo fouled out.
B.J. Jennings had an awesome night scoring a game-high 30 points including four 3-pointers and 9 rebounds. Jake Wagner and Caleb Ellenburg each added 11 points to the board for the Mules. Wagner had three treys for Bernie. Brandon Sparks and Justin Stanfield added a trey apiece.
Bernie ended the night with 27 fouls. Advance got caught with 26 fouls.
"Fortunately, we were able to find a way to win," continued Botsch. "B.J. played very well tonight and never came out of the game. It was great to see him step up and lead and I was very proud of him."
"We have spent a lot of time in practice on offense and it has improved, but defensively we were a step slow all night. We have some things to take out of this game and work on, and we'll do just that. I am confident our kids want to continue to get better. We are never satisfied."
The Mules will be back in action on Wednesday, January 15th as they take on the Oran Eagles at the Show Me Center in Cape Girardeau. This should be a spectacular game! Friday they will travel to Dexter to continue a long time rivalry! Game times are 6:00 p.m.
Bernie is not 11-1 on the season.

New Madrid, Missouri - The Bearcat Wrestling Team traveled to New Madrid County Central to take on the Eagles and the Notre Dame Bulldogs. The Bearcats dominated both teams, defeating the Bulldogs 63 - 9 and the Eagles 59 – 18.
Coach James Sneed was pleased with the overall performance of his athletes and continues to see their hard work and dedication pay off.
"I thought we wrestled pretty well considering the Varsity wrestlers haven't wrestled since December 21st in the Harrisonville Holiday Tournament," noted Coach Sneed. "Three weeks of practice and no matches gets old."
The 145 and 152 weight classes continue to be an exciting set of matches as senior Trevor Waldner and sophomore Ethan Stevens are very skilled on the mat against opponents. Waldner pinned Aaron Schlosser of Notre Dame in 3:22 and won by technical fall over Jordan Lynn of New Madrid 19-4. Stevens pinned Cole Nowell of New Madrid in 4:39 and by decision over Nick Pfau of Notre Dame 9-3.
In the 113-weight class Brandon Twomey pinned Phillip Stegman of New Madrid in 3:24 and won by decision over Noah Huff of Notre Dame 8-1.
Ty Harmon of Dexter defeated Rhile Smith of New Madrid in the 120-weight class by decision 6-2 and pinned Hunter Miller of Notre Dame in just 27 seconds.
In the 160-weight class Dylan Bazarian pinned Stephen Hoffmeister of Notre Dame in only 49 seconds and then pinned Terrez Taylor of New Madrid in 44 seconds."Ty Harmon and Storm Massey both had good nights while dropping down a weight class, which should help them as we continue through the season."
JV wrestlers will be in action at the Jackson JV Tournament this Saturday @ 10:00 as the Varsity Wrestlers travel to Ste. Genevieve to participate in the Ste. Gen Duals.
