Thursday night at the Dexter Schools featured two games by Dexter Middle School teams.  The Dexter Middle School Bearcats 8th grade football team took on the Charleston Bluejays.  At the same time the 8th grade Dexter Lady Bearcats were preparing to take on the Campbell Lady Camels in basketball action.

Both of these teams are having successful seasons in their respective sports, with the Lady 'Cats winning earlier in the week against the Doniphan Donettes 48-36 to put there record at 1-0.  Last nights game would see them going up against an under-matched Campbell Lady Camels team. 

As the game began the Dexter Lady Bearcats offense was too much for the Donettes defense to handle as they went into halftime leading 42-0.   The Lady 'Cats, led by guard Sydney Rogers who had 18 points and 2-3 from the free throw line, were too much for the Camels to keep up with.  The Dexter Middle School Lady 'Cats won by the final score of 58-4.

Across the road the Dexter Middle School Football Team was battling the Charleston Bluejays and having success of their own.  When Charleston kicked the ball off to start the game Jason Jarrell returned the ball all the way to Charleston's end zone for a touchdown.

After several attempts by the Bluejays to get going were unsuccessful, Dexter got the ball back and was able to drive the ball to midfield.  With the 5:14 left in the first quarter Gavin Northcutt took a handoff to the outside for a long rushing touchdown. 

Charleston was finally able to get on the scoreboard with a pass and catch in the end zone for a touchdown.  Another kickoff return and a punt return for touchdowns by Jarrell would make the score 41-6 at halftime. 

One more touchdown and more dominant defense by the Dexter Middle School Bearcats in the second half would put the game out of reach for the Bluejays.  The Dexter Middle School Bearcats put another win on their record with a victory over the Charleston Bluejays by the score of 48-6.

For the Middle School Bearcat football team this was the last game of a successful season for them.  The Dexter 8th grade Middle School Lady Bearcats went to 2-0 on their young season and get ready to face the Woodland Cardinals next Monday night at T.S. Hill Middle School at 6:00 P.M.
