Dexter, Missouri - Warm weather is made for grilling and marks the beginning of the summer cook-out season. It also marks the beginning of summer athletic practices for high school sports. The Bearcat football team met with coaches for some in-classroom instruction and check-out their gear for the 2017 football season. To celebrate their summer work-outs athletes were treated to a cook-out.
Dexter Queen and County Wide Insurance gathered on Tuesday, May 30, 2017 to treat local Dexter athletes with hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, and drinks during the first day of summer athletic training for several high school students.
Athletes were thrilled to get a break from in-classroom instruction and eat outside at Charles Bland Stadium. More than 50 athletes and several coaches including Dexter's new Activities/Athletic Director, Aaron Pixley, were on hand to devour Dexter's famous hamburgers and hotdogs.
"We had 48 football players in attendance today," commented Dexter head football coach Kevin Goltra. "We had probably 10 - 15 out due to vacations and other school functions, but still a good turn-out."
"The athletes were introduced to some new offensive formations and defense that we will run later this year during the regular season," continued Goltra. "Students attended a classroom setting and used visual diagrams as well as watched video during the morning hours before lunch. There were also break-out sessions where the players met with their individual offensive and defensive coaches to learn their expectations and get introduced to the drills they will be running in practice."
"Lunch was graciously provided by Dexter Queen and County Wide Insurance before we had a walk through of some plays and then issued equipment. Wednesday will be a practice," stated Goltra.
