Malden, Missouri – The Bearcats knew going into the game that it was going to be difficult. The Malden Green Wave program has had an impressive year defeating every opponent.
Malden wasted no time scoring against Dexter. They recorded 28 points effortlessly in the first and second quarters of the game. At half it was 56-0 and the Bearcats knew it was almost unreachable at that point, but they never stopped playing the entire game and for that fans are very proud of our Bearcats. They played with great sportsmanship and never gave up.
“It was a disappointing game,” commented head football coach Justin Peden. “I really thought we would come out and play them a lot closer. They got on us quick and we made some mistakes in all aspects of the game. Malden capitalized. When you do that with teams that are good they are going to put it away quick and that’s exactly what they did.”
The first half was all varsity play, but as the night progresses it was time for the underclassmen to show their stuff! Jason Jarrell, sophomore took over as quarterback late in the fourth quarter and rushed the ball 12 yards for the only Bearcat touchdown of the game.
“At the end of the day we got some younger guys some experience,” Peden said. “I think the guys tried hard and were still fighting even though it was out of reach to win.”
Malden secured the #1 seed in Class 2, District 1 and has an impressive record of 9-0. They play Charleston Friday night in District Quarterfinal contest.
“They have some serious speed,” Peden said of Malden. “Their receivers are off the line block extremely well. They did a really good job of setting the edge all night. Their receivers were driving our guys back. We hadn’t seen anything like that all year. They are a bunch of really good, athletic kids who play hard. They play hard the whole time and you have got to take your hat off to Malden in that situation. Those guys just play really hard, they wanted this game and they are an extremely good football team.”
Ethan Stevens had a team-high 7 tackles for the Bearcats.
Dexter is seeded #5 in Class 3, District 1 and will play St. Pius of Festus on Friday, October 24th at 7:00 p.m. (We will post directions to the football field on our Facebook page).
Park Hills received the #1 seed followed by Potosi and Ste. Genevieve as the top three seeds. Kennett earned the #6 seed, Fredericktwon #7, and New Madrid County Central the #8 seed spot.
“We need to regroup after a game like this and make sure we have our focus going into the playoffs,” stated Peden. “St. Pius is a good team, but we can win and set up a rematch with Park Hills tat I am sure our guys would like to have. We have just got to make sure after a night like tonight we don’t stop wanting to play football and want to keep going. I think these guys are resilient, are good young men and will want to keep going and erase this from people’s memories.”
The ShowMe Times will be at the St. Pius vs Dexter game taking great photos and posting scores on the ShowMe Times Facebook page as well as Twitter. It’s Black-Out Friday so wear your favorite Bearcat shirt and let’s beat those Lancers!!!!

Dexter, Missouri – The #1 seed Lady Bearcats defeated the #5 seed Fredericktown Blackcats 25-18, 25-13 in the Class 3, District 1 semifinal Monday evening.
Dexter with a 27-3-1 record advances to the District Championship game on Wednesday when they play the #2 seed Perryville Pirates who have a record of 24-8-1. Game time is 6 p.m. at the Bearcat Event Center!
The Bearcats took a few minutes to find their groove, but once they did it was all Fredericktown could do to keep up. The Blackcats led by as much as 5 points at one point in the first set. The Bearcats owned the second set scoring seven straight points early.
“I just told them I have coached a lot of years and I have never had a good first-round District game as the #1 seed,” stated Dexter’s head coach Carmen Morgan. “I don’t know why it is, but it seems like you look past that game a little bit even though you say you are not going to and then you just get a little tight. Hopefully, we have gotten that out of our system tonight and will be ready for a battle on Wednesday.”
Julia Hahn recorded a team-high 5 digs followed by Ashlyn Werneck with 4 digs. Brittany Brown tallied 3 digs and Jessica Lindsey and Shyann Jines each added 2 digs.
Krysten Garrison and Jessica Lindsey tallied team-high 5 kills each. Shyann Jines added 4 kills and Lexie Barnes added 3 kills.
Shyann Jines served two aces along with Jessica Lindsey and Brittany Brown who each served an ace.
“Fredericktown is a team that is kind of hard to play because they don’t hit straight down,” commented Coach Morgan. “Why we weren’t hitting the ball I don’t know, but we were trying to put the ball behind the block some in the middle. They have a setter that runs behind the block all the time so there is no opening there for us to go to.”
Other scores in the Class 3, District 1 games which were also played on Monday. Notre Dame seeded #3 beat Doniphan 25-13, 25-22 and Fredericktown defeated Kennett 25-13, 25-22 in quarterfinal games. Perryville then defeated Notre Dame 25-12, 25-19 in other semifinal action.
“It should be a good game,” Morgan stated. “I think between Notre Dame, Perryville and us anybody on any given night can beat anybody else. But we will be ready for battle. We went up and played Perryville a good game last Thursday evening so we should be on our game and ready to go.”
The last year Dexter brought home a District win was in 2000. They had a tremendous run in the 1990’s with District Titles winning every year from 1991 – 1999 and then in 2000. Let’s make this a year to remember and come out and support the Lady ‘Cats as they compete in the District Championship at home in the Bearcat Event Center!!!! #GoBearcats!
