DHS Cheer Squad Has a Tradition to Uphold!

Dexter, Missouri - High School cheerleading can be a lot of fun, but it can also be very demanding of your time.  Many of the Dexter Cheerleading Squad host a special Bearcat Camp and even attend camps themselves, they attend games, there are special performances at homecoming, pep rallies and many other exciting commitments.

Not only are the simple aspects of high school cheerleading exhilarating, but cheerleaders also find practices to be quite demanding.  Not only do cheerleaders have screaming fans around them at every game, but they have to be on top of their game everywhere they go.  As a cheerleader they become a role model for younger children who aspire to be just like them when they get to high school; therefore cheerleaders must maintain professional manner no matter where they are in the community.

As a Dexter High School Cheerleader, each has a very important job.  They have a tradition to uphold!  There are many alumni and loyal fans in the community who attend, the student body loves being involved in school spirit, and the players are one hundred percent dedicated because they absolutely love the sport they are playing. Cheerleaders are a part of the excitement and and promote school spirit!

We are proud of our Dexter High School Cheerleaders!

Bearcats Fall to Sharp Shooting Bluejays

Bearcats Fall to Sharp Shooting Bluejays

Dexter, Missouri - The Dexter boys basketball team knew coming into Tuesday's nights game that the Charleston Bluejays had shut them down several years in a row and are typically a powerhouse to beat.  Unfortunately despite a couple of leads by the Bearcats throughout the second half, the Bluejays came out on top 60-56 at the Bearcat Event Center.

Charleston jumped out to a 20-7 lead in the first quarter to take a game-high 13 points lead, but the Cats' drive and will to beat these pesky Bluejays shifted and Dexter earned a one point lead.  Senior Jason Jarrell #10, hit a pair from the charity stripe to give the Bearcats their first lead since the opening minute of the game 38-37 with just a little over 2 minutes left in the third quarter.

"It looked pretty bleak early in the game, but we pushed through and started buckling down defensively," commented Dexter head boys basketball coach Josh Dowdy.  "Overall the adversity we faced early on especially with the foul trouble and we have Dawson Kasting out.  That doesn't help in our depth department.  Overall I am very proud of them."

Last year Gabe Jackson had a special knack of staying in the game, this year he got into some foul trouble. He sat out several minutes of the game, but still managed to earn 16 points for Dexter.

Clay Mullins had a good game. He finished with one trey and a team-high 17 points.

"He had some bright eyes early on, but we talked about driving the pressure." stated Dowdy of Mullins efforts.   "He can dribble the ball and get to the rack.

Jason Jarrell also finished in double digits adding 12 points to the board.  He had one 3-pointer.

The schedule does not get any easier for the Bearcats (0-1).  On Friday evening they face another powerhouse, the Sikeston Bulldogs and on their turf.  Next week it's another tough week as they take part in the SEMO Conference Tournament potentially facing Sikeston again as they are the #1 seed.  Dexter must get past New Madrid County Central on Monday at 5:30 p.m.

Charleston (3-0) will host Notre Dame on Friday night.
