Charleston, Missouri – The Lady ‘Cats traveled to Charleston on Saturday to participate in the annual Coaches vs Cancer Shootout hosted by the Lady Bluejays.
Dexter defeated Charleston 88 – 66 ending a perfect 3-0 week.
“It was definitely a high-scoring game,” commented Dexter head coach Chad Allen. “We tried to press early on and I thought Charleston did a good job of attacking and getting to the rim. We didn’t do so well containing the ball. They made us work so it was definitely a good game for us.”
The Lady ‘Cats scored the first 5 buckets leading 10-0. Charleston ran the ball back scoring 8 point in less than two minutes.
At the half it was Dexter leading 44 – 32.
“We jumped out and got a pretty good lead,” stated Allen. “Then we let them get back into it a little bit.”
Charleston's Sierra Frazier had a team-high 21 points including two 3-pointers. Cheyenne Randle finished with 19 points. Juwanna Walker and Alexis Hamilton each hit one trey for the Lady Jays.
Five Lady ‘Cats recorded double digits on Saturday.
