Directions
You have a few options for travel, just depends on your preference. You can take Highway 25 north to Jackson and go west to Hwy 67N or go to Poplar Bluff and take 67N or go up 55N to exit 150 for MO-32. Pretty close to the same time of about 2 hours give or take 15 minutes, but the miles are a bit different ranging from 137 miles to 96 miles depending on Google’s estimates.
From Highway 67 N take the exit toward Flat River Road There is a Huddle House to your left when you exit. Go Right!
Drive down to the Highway Patrol Station and you will see the sign for Mineral Area College, make a left turn, (Dixie Kohn Drive), go past the student dorms and you will see the Field House. There should be plenty of parking, but there is a game prior to the girls' game!
T-Shirts and Rally Towels
STUDENTS!
The Dexter Senior High School is providing a bus for students to ride to the game. The bus ride is free; however YOU must have $6.00 to get on the bus to pay to get into the game. YOU need to bring exactly $6, no change will be available. The students need to be ready and on the bus by 4:35 p.m. You may bring extra spending money for concessions, but bring exact change to get into the game!!!
These young ladies have worked very hard to get here and the Dexter community is so very proud of them. They have put in a lot of hours, a lot of late nights in the gym, a lot of time away from their friends, but look where they are now, look at what they have accomplished!
What these girls probably do not realize is what they have done for their school and for their community. Never before have so many students, friends, family members, community in general come together in support of their dream to win a State Basketball Championship. The Lady Cats have made us proud!
They are making history one game at a time! One Team One Dream! Go Lady Bearcats!!
