Jackson rallies past Dexter, will face Central in tourney

The Jackson boys basketball team rallied from a 14-point halftime deficit to defeat Dexter 61-57 in the consolation semifinals at the SEMO Conference tournament in Sikeston on Thursday night.

Jackson (1-1) scored 28 points in third period to turn a 30-16 deficit into a 44-44 tie. The Indians led by as much as nine in the final period before holding off Dexter.

"In the second half, we came out and played great defense and didn't give them anything easy," Jackson coach Darrin Scott said. "We started being more patient on offense and started making that extra pass."

Cody Green scored 15 points to lead Jackson. He hit two 3-pointers, including one that put Jackson ahead 61-57 with 4 minutes remaining in the game after the Indians had lost their nine-point lead.

Andrew Shrum added 13 for Jackson.

The Indians play Central at 5:30 p.m. today in the consolation final.
