The ShowMe Times is proud to highlight the outstanding performance of two Dexter Bearcat Football athletes. Each week the ShowMe Times will choose two players – one offensive player and one defensive player who will be featured as Players of the Week. Leadership on the athletic field is often a good indicator of the future development of our young students and is a perfect training ground for future leaders.
The ShowMe Times is pleased to announce the ShowMe Times Players of the Week #1 against the Ste. Genevieve Dragons are senior Peyton Pollock and senior Dylan Bazarian.
Peyton Pollock is Dexter’s quarterback and demonstrated outstanding performance under pressure throughout the game especially in the 4th quarter on a play that could have given the Bearcats the win. Throwing while running and warding off defenders is not an easy task and until you put your feet in his shoes you can’t imagine the pressure! Way to go Pollock! Job well done.
Peyton not only completed 16 passes for 140 yards, he tallied a team-high 92 yards rushing including a 33 yard run for a touchdown. Pollock threw two touchdown passes, one for four yards and one for 29 yards.
Dylan Bazarian had a team-high 8 tackles with 2 tackle assists giving him 10 total tackles. It takes a lot to go out there and tackle each and every game. Dylan does it with style and finesse! He performs on the field as both a running back and defensive back.
The Bearcats suffered a tough loss to the Dragons, but they have much improved over last year and despite begin on top of the scoreboard throughout the 3rd and 4th quarter, it was a tough loss. For entire article please click HERE.
Congratulations to both of these two fine young men on their accomplishments.
The Pollock and Bazarian will be back in action with the Bearcats at the home opener Friday evening. Game time is currently 7:00 p.m. at Charles Bland Stadium against the Poplar Bluff Mules. #GoBearcats!
