DHS Wrestlers Named Character and Leadership All-Americans and Scholar All-Americans

The 2023-2024 Dexter High School Wrestling Team held their annual awards banquet.  This year they chose Dexter Pizza Company and more than 70 athletes and parents attended.  The wrestling team is coached by Cody Boyer and Colton Gibson.

"When I took over last year, I wanted to get our wrestlers more recognition than they have had in the past.  I talked to the school and we are now members of the MWA, the Missouri Wrestling Association and the NWCA, the National Wrestling Coaches Association.  With those memberships we can recognize the hard work that wrestlers put into the practice room, the mat and in the classroom," stated Boyer.

"I am excited to announce that for the first time ever, we have some Character and Leadership All-American and Scholar Classroom All-Americans."

James DeBerry and Ryan Young were awarded the Character and Leadership All-Americans recognition.

James DeBerry, Ryan Young, Noah Bruyette, and Kennedy McCormick were named Scholar All-Americans.

"I have nominated Ryan Young for Academic All-State." Boyer said. "I am waiting to hear back on that.  To win this award you have to be a State Qualifier and have a GPA over 3.5."  There will be a banquet in Columbia if he is recognized for this award.
