The Missouri Media High School Football Rankings have been released following Week #2 action and the Dexter Bearcats are now ranked #6 in Class 3.  

"Pressure to maintain what we have going.......," commented Coach Chad Jamerson. "Pressure to make sure we stay humble!"
"Nerve wracking because it’s easy to go from the “penthouse to the outhouse” but not easy the other way around," continued Jamerson. "To a point gratifying and vindicating because of doubters and naysayers!!! Above all, just thankful for the blessings we receive.  Thankful for people that care, the kids and coaches that work so hard buying into the vision of the program, and the possibility of tomorrow!"
