Dexter, MO - Dexter High School honored senior Cole Nichols, #14, at halftime of the junior varsity game in the Bearcat Event Center on Thursday, February 16, 2023.

Nichols broke the record previously set by Brett Hale.  During Brett's career at Dexter he led the Bearcats to multiple Bloomfield Christmas Tournament Championship, SCAA Championship and the Bearcats were consistently ranked in the top 10 of Class 3 boys basketball team within the state of Missouri.  Brett recorded 1,812 points, passing Matt Pruitt as the all time leading scorer for the boys basketball team.

Cole has contributed to the varsity Bearcat basketball team all four years of his high school career.  Last Friday night, February 10th in the last few seconds of the first half against the Kennett Indians, he knocked down two free throws to pass Brett at the all time leading boys basketball scorer for the Bearcats.

Cole would like to thank his parents and family for their continued support.  His coaches for always pushing him and his teammates fro always being there and pushing him during practice.

Congratulations Cole Nichols on your tremendous accomplishment.
