Dexter, Missouri - The ShowMe Times is proud to highlight the outstanding performances of two Dexter Bearcat Football Athletes each week. Two players will be chosen - 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.
This week several athletes contributed on the field, and many athletes showed extreme professionalism against their opponent; however only two players were chosen.
The ShowMe Times is pleased to announce the Players of the Week are Mr. Payton Tinnin (Offense) and Mr. Bo McMullin (Defense).Payton Tinnin (5'10" 165 lb senior) was chosen as Offensive Player of the Week against Poplar Bluff earning 75 yards rushing on 21 carries; almost half of the total offensive yards gained in the game. Tinnin also had 5 tackles against the Mules.
"Tinnin is our best RB right now and played well in Friday's game," commented Coach Goltra. "McDonald was close to being selected, but ball security was the deciding factor in our offensive player of the week."
Bo McMullin (6' 0" 190 lb junior) was chosen as Defensive Player of the Week against Poplar Bluff recording 9 total tackles; 3 solo and 6 assisted.
"Bo did a great job Friday night. He brought energy to a defense that came out flat and made some big plays in the 2nd half," stated Coach Goltra. "Jett Featherston was a close 2nd in the voting. He played well and is starting to be a big contributor."
Week #3: Dexter Bearcats will be on the road against the New Madrid County Central Eagles, Friday, September 2nd. Game time 7:00 p.m.
