Dexter, Missouri - The children at Small Wonders Child Development Center were excited to see several of the Dexter High School football team show up to demonstrate some plays and talk about football.

The children were dressed for the occasion in their red and black showing their Bearcat pride!

Peyton Pollock, quarterback for the Bearcats handed off the football to DJ Dowdy who ran as "fast" as he could and was "tackled" by children who were giggling, laughing and screaming as they ran after him. 

Everyone seemed to have a great time.  Some of the little girls were surprised to see a "girl" football player.  Miss MaKayla was introduced by Coach Peden and he told the youngsters that even little girls can grow up and play football if they work hard and practice!

The players invited the children to come out and watch a football game and cheer for the Bearcats!

Thank you Coach Peden and all of the football players who took time out of their schedule to stop by and see the youngsters at Small Wonders.  Memories that will last forever!
