Dexter, Missouri - Bearcat Nation will have something new to look at from the stands. The "Boys of Fall" will show-off their new helmets with a brand new Bearcat graphic.
They plan to debut their new look at the annual Football Jamboree in Kennett on Friday, August 15th at 6:00 p.m.
"I think the new look gives the guys and the community something to be excited about," stated Head Football Coach Justin Peden. "So far the reception has been great!"
The Bearcats will face the Kennett Indians, NMCC Eagles, and East Prairie Eagles in preseason action - this can be a great ‘scouting’ tool for the ‘Cats, as they face both Kennett and NMCC later in the season during districts.
"Kennett looked a lot better at the contact camp this year," stated Peden. "I think we will both do better now that a year has gone by in our respective systems."
When asked about New Madrid County Central, Peden commented, "
NMCC is a big question mark. Anytime a new coach comes in there is an adjustment period. I've heard a lot of good things coming from over there. I am interested to see their development."
The scrimmages will follow the traditional jamboree format, with a coin toss to determine offense or defense and the ball placed at the 40 yd. line. If a team scores, the ball will be placed back at the 40 yd. line. Each team will play 12 plays on offense and defense, respectively. No score will be kept. There will be no kicking game.
New Madrid County Central was initially scheduled to host the event this year; however due to troubled field conditions the event was moved to Kennett. Dexter is slated to host in 2015.

United States - The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will sell duck stamps online for the first time this year, giving hunters an alternative to buying paper duck stamps. USFWS recently selected Missouri, along with a handful of other states, to provide duck stamps through its new e-Stamp option.
Starting Aug. 1, hunters can buy the new federal e-Stamps online at mo.wildlifelicense.com.
The e-Stamp will have a $2.50 convenience fee for handling and mailing in addition to the $15 purchase price.
The Electronic Duck Stamp, or e-Stamp, allows customers to purchase the Federal Duck Stamp online and use it immediately. The E-Stamp is valid for 45 days from the date of purchase. Within that time, a physical Duck Stamp will be mailed to the customer. After 45 days, the customer must carry their Federal Duck Stamp while hunting.
In the past, paper duck stamps were sold at post offices, MDC offices, and some retail permit vendors. This year, paper stamps will still be available from post offices and MDC offices, but not from permit vendors. Retail vendors will still be able to process e-Stamp transactions for hunters.
For more info on the new e-Stamp offering, visit USFWS online at fws.gov/duckstamps/stamps.htm.
The decision not to sell paper duck stamps through retail vendors came from federal officials after we already printed our 2014 Early Migratory Bird Hunting Digest. As a result, the digest says hunters can buy duck stamps from retail vendors, without mentioning details of purchasing e-Stamps. Sorry for any confusion.
