Dexter, Missouri - With the Dexter Bearcats (1-5) returning to the field after a tough loss to New Madrid County Central, Coach Peden says they are looking good for tonight's game against the Charleston Blue Jays.  The Bluejays won last year by 8 points and are leading historically winning 34 of the 58 games played between the two.

"The guys have really been focused all week and we have had some really good practices.  A lot of our younger guys have stepped up because of injuries and have been very impressive."

Head Football Coach Peden stated they have have been focusing on stopping Charleston's running game and forcing them to throw.  "I think that if we do that and execute offensively we will be successful and have a winning game."

Coach Brett Blackman and his Charleston Bluejays are 3-3 this season and 1-2 in District play.  They beat Kennett 40-20 so it's going to be a close game.  "Charleston is a good football team, but if we play a full game, all four quarters to the best of ability, we will be fine," stated Coach Peden.

"That's our biggest challenge to make sure we play a complete game," continued Peden.  "As coaches we have been trying to instill a sense of confidence in the players.  We are a good football team, and we could be a great one if we just play that complete game we have been looking for all season."

"This football team is a part of my family.  I believe in them.  I know they can get the job done!"

As for who is our starting quarterback for tonight's game, you'll just have to come out and cheer for the Bearcats!  Peyton Pollock took a beating against the NMCC last week.  He has thrown for 676 yards and five touchdowns and only three interceptions.  Let's hope he's ready to play tonight.  The Bearcats have several on the injury list.  We pray for their speedy recovery!

Game time is 7:00 p.m. in Charleston.  Go Bearcats!!!!
