Dexter, Missouri – The DHS Boys Basketball Team opens their season on Tuesday, December 3rd against the Bluejays in Charleston under Head Coach Rob Nichols and Asst. Coach Shawn Guethle. Game time is 6:00 p.m.
D.J. Dowdy and Nick Noble are the only two returning starters for the Bearcats who played most of last season without injuries. Several of the basketball players sustained injuries during football season or during basketball season and were unable to play all year. Hopefully this year the injury bug will not bite the Bearcats and they will have a great season!
Dowdy #11, a 5’10” senior guard should have a great season ahead. He did well as a junior and just earned an All-Conference spot in football. Noble #4 who is also 5’10” and plays the position of guard will be joined by 5’10” senior guard Myles Urhahn #10 and 5’11 senior guard Cody Neldon #34.
Also playing for the Bearcats will be #3 Blake Horton, 5’10” junior guard, #24 Ethan Flowers, 5’8” junior guard, #32 Chandler Young, 6’1” sophomore forward, #22 Austin Chesser 5’10” sophomore guard, #5 Noah Kronk, 6’ junior forward, #12 Peyton Pollock, 6’1” junior forward/guard, #21 Jacob Pedigo, 5’10” sophomore guard, and #33 Cole Renken, 6’3” sophomore forward.
The Bearcats will be competing against some of the top teams in the SCAA Conference and playing several SEMO Conference teams before hosting the SCAA Tournament in January.
Dexter will host their first home game on Friday, December 5th at 6:00 p.m. against the Sikeston Bulldogs with the JV playing first followed by the varsity. Please come out and cheer for your favorite Bearcat and support these awesome boys as they play hard and fast on the court!
