Dexter, Missouri - The Dexter High School Junior Varsity boys basketball team is ready to begin their 2016-2017 season at home in the Bearcat Event Center against the tough Charleston Bluejays.  Game time 6:00 p.m.

"Our Junior Varsity team has a lot of size this season," commented head basketball coach Josh Dowdy.  "This will be one of our taller JV teams Dexter has had in years."

"We will be playing quite a few freshman so we will be inexperienced as far as logging high school minutes," continued Dowdy. "We are working real hard on taking care of the ball and making good decisions."

"These guys are putting in some time and I am confident over the next three or four years it will pay off for them," Dowdy said of the future.

Playing for the Junior Varsity Bearcats are Joe Rice a 5'9" sophomore guard, Spencer Warren, a 6'1" freshman forward, Brodie Pollock, a 6'2" freshman forward, Logan Wyman, a 5'8" freshman guard, Nate Gargas, a 5'9" sophomore guard, Haden Hillis, a 5'10" freshman guard, Philip Toledo, a 6'4" freshman forward, Braxton Foster, a 6'3" sophomore forward, Justin Kenley, a 6'0" sophomore forward, Garrett Henson, a 6'2" freshman forward, and Alfonso Torres, a 5'10" junior guard.
