Poplar Bluff at Dexter boys basketball

Four nights after watching a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit disappear in a loss to Kennett, the Dexter boys basketball team proved it could close out a game Tuesday night. The Bearcats made 15 of 19 free throws in the fourth quarter and beat Poplar Bluff 70-61 to win their first SEMO Conference game of the season.
