Cape Girardeau, Missouri - The Dexter Lady Bearcats girls basketball team quickly fell behind against the Jackson Lady Indians in the first round of the SEMO Conference Tournament on Monday, December 2, 2019 at Cape Central High School.

Madison Lambert of Jackson scored a game-high 18 points.  Olivia Ward added 13 and Katherine Emmendorfer contributed 12 to lead the Lady Indians in a 66-22 victory over the Cats.

Sydney Asberry of Dexter scored a team-high 12 points.  Alexa Werneck and Mikayla Dodson each tallied 5 points.

Jackson (2-0) led 16-5 after one quarter and led 38-9 at halftime.

"We have a lot of young girls playing and a lot of inexperienced girls including some upperclassmen," commented new Dexter LBB head coach Eric Sitze. "We are still playing at a JV level.  We have to learn to play harder and increase our intensity.  Take care of the ball a lot better. It was a great learning experience tonight and we will watch video tapes 

"I think the girls are positive and we are going to learn from it.  WE are going to try and get better every game this year. We need to play more aggressive on the court  We had a lot of turnovers.  I think 22 in the first half and a total of 29 which is more than what we scored. We are subbing freshman and sophomores so it's just a learning curve this year."
