Dexter, Missouri - 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 an done defensive player who will be features 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.
This week was a tough decision as so many players contributed in ways that did not reflect on the stats sheet against Ste. Genevieve; however only two players were chosen.
The ShowMe Times is pleased to announce the Players of the Week are River Chism and Ben Sindle.
The Offensive Player of the Week is River Chism for Week #1 against the Ste. Genevieve Dragons. River had thee carries for 12 yards, but it earned him the most yards per carry rushing.
“River has come long very well,” stated head coach Justin Peden. “He has learned a new position in the past few weeks and has done a great job.”
River is a senior at Dexter High School and is the son of Rob and Michelle Chism.
The Defensive Player of the Week is Ben Sindle for Week #1 against the Ste. Genevieve Dragons. Ben intercepted a ball thrown by the Dragon’s Lalumadier with just over 3 minutes left in the third quarter.
"Ben is someone to watch on our team," commented Peden. "He is a competitor and works very hard. I can see his play getting better and better as the season progresses.
Ben is a sophomore at Dexter High School and the son of Darrell Sindle and Chris and Holly Bowman.
Congratulations to both of these two fine young men on their accomplishments.
The Bearcats will be back in action when they travel to Poplar Bluff to take on the Mules Friday, August 28th. Game time 7:00 p.m.
