"Our team philosophy here is players first and team first!" stated head football coach Chad Jamerson. "We play with our five core values 1. Handwork, 2. Embracing Competition, 3. Accountability,            4.  Relentless Effort, and 5 Toughness.  Put those to gather and is an acronym for H.E.A.R.T. and that's what will will play with this year, a lot of HEART!"

Leading the pack are Nolan Alford, Zach Billingsley, Rylee Cochran, Ethan Glaus, Caleb Gott, Jett Grams, Travis Robinson, Peyton Hartline, Jackson Howard, Parker King, Travis Pratt, Caden Lee, Tyler Spence, Lee-Michael McDonald, Joseph Paisley, Don McNeal, Logan Pullum Christiaan Wirz, and Sawyer Rascher.

They have worked extremely hard over the summer to get to this moment, their senior year of football!  After coming off an impressive performance at the Jamboree last Friday night against incredibly competitive teams like Portageville, East Prairie, and Kelly they will finally get to show off that talent in their opening debut at Malden. 

What can we expect from the offensive line?  It is packed with extremely talented young athletes such at Jackson Howard, Logan Pullum, Sawyer Rascher, Jett Grams, Nolan Alford, Caden Lee, and Lee-Michael McDonald.  They will take on a new head coach at Malden, Preston Pulley and he is ready for them.

"The kids have put in a great week of work," commented Coach Chad Jamerson. "We are ready to finally play a game."

"I expect Malden will be well prepared and have a great plan for us so we are anticipating a battle and would hope to come out with a victory."

Coach Jamerson and his coaching staff are ready as well.  They have analyzed their opponent's play style, their strengths, their weaknesses, their tactical plays and look at each paltry's characteristics of how they play the game.  They are ready!  Are you ready to cheer on the Bearcats!  Be loud and proud at the game so the boys can hear you!  Make some noise!!!

Dexter had an impressive 6-3 season last year.  Their hopes is to have that perfect 9-0 season and get into the play-offs and on to a state Championship!  Can it be done?  Yes the talent is there!  They have prepared for this moment!  The coaches have prepared all summer and these young men have been working in the weigh room and on the field to accomplish their goals.
