Dexter, MO- Friday night was a big night for the Senior Bearcats in the Bearcat Event Center. The seniors from the dance team, cheerleading team, and boy's basketball team were announced prior to the start of the Varsity game.

Although Friday night was a time to honor the Bearcat seniors, the Dexter team came up a little short in the game against Scott City.

To start things off, Coach Rob Nichols started the five seniors, including Chase Young who suffered from an injury earlier in the year. After the tip off, Young came out of the game and received a well-deserved standing ovation.

With the crowd fired up, and the Bearcats ready to go, the game quickly got underway.

It was hard to tell which side the most momentum was coming from as both teams were going towards the goal in hopes to get on the scoreboard.

All night long the Bearcats suffered from missing shots right underneath the goal.  Scott City's defense made it hard for Dexter to gain any points. Dexter held their own all the way into halftime, and Coach Rob Nichols took his team in the locker room in hopes to turn things around in the Bearcat's favor.

While the Bearcats were in the locker room, the fans enjoyed the Dexter Kickin' Cats' dance routine highlighting Senior Bethany Christian.

Despite Junior Nick Noble being on fire with three-point baskets in the third quarter, the Bearcats let Scott City's lead over them continue to gain.

The Dexter Bearcat fans, coaches, and players had hoped they could pull out the win on senior night, but the Bearcats just couldn't escape Scott City's efforts.

The Dexter Bearcats walked away with a loss of 37-57 on senior night.
