Dexter, Missouri - Join new head football Coach Kevin Goltra and the Dexter Bearcats on Saturday, June 25th beginning at 9:00 a.m. for a 7 on 7 Scrimmage and Lineman Challenge at Charles Bland Stadium in Dexter.
Teams competing are the Hayti Indians, Kelly Eagles, and the Dexter Bearcats.
Football fans will have an opportunity to see what our 2016 football team has been working on at the SEMO Summer Football Camp and at their many summer practices.
"The 7 on 7 scrimmage will be 10 plays of offense followed by 10 plays of defense," commented Coach Goltra. "It will be a controlled practice type of atmosphere that focuses on teaching rather than competition."
The 7 on 7 scrimmage will provide players an opportunity to work on their passing game, running game, passing defense, and adapt to playing in the heat.
"We have focused a ton on our run game the past three weeks as that will be the bulk of our offense this year," continued Goltra. "The pass game will be behind compared to other teams and the majority of our pass plays being play action. The 7 on 7 is not a real good test of where we are, but we will know a lot more about our team after the Buffalo Camp in July. We will compete hard and our very young team will gain a lot of experience."
The Lineman Challenge will consist of squats, tug a war, bench press, tire flip, and an obstacle course.
"We should compete well in the Lineman Challenge," stated Goltra. "All of our players have worked hard in the weight room and they are the reason we are in our run heavy offense."
Our Bearcats have worked hard this week at the SEMO Camp. They pushed themselves further than they have ever been pushed. Coach Goltra demands discipline and his newly ermerging athletes are developing character. He holds them to a higher standard and expects them to push themselves further than they ever thought they could go.
The game of football literally challenges an athlete’s physical courage and what it means to sacrifice, much like life. Coach Goltra is not only preparing them to win under the Friday night lights, he’s teaching them to prepare for life after high school.
On or off the field our Bearcats are learning, learning to put others first, learning to be a part of something bigger than themselves, and learning to lift their teammate together. Please join them Saturday for their first tuneup of the season as they take the field under new head football coach Kevin Goltra.
A further note there will not be concessions for the public so bring your own, but please throw your trash away prior to leaving the stadium. Come out and support your Bearcats beginning at 9:00 a.m. The scrimmage should only last a couple of hours so don't miss this opportunity. Our Bearcats have been working very hard in the heat!
