Dexter, Missouri - Are You Ready for Some Football?  The boys of fall have been practicing and working out in the gym this summer.  They have traveled to Sikeston and Obion County, Tennessee for two 7 on 7 and Lineman Challenges.  The 2017 Dexter High School Football schedule has been set and there is a new opponent on the schedule.

Dexter will travel to a neutral site in Bolivar, Missouri on Saturday, September 9, 2017 for a game against Drexel High School of Miami.  Kick-off is set for 2:00 p.m.  If you remember two years ago Charleston dropped Dexter from their schedule forcing the Bearcats into an open date.  They defeated Memphis last year.
