ShowMe Times Dexter Football Players of the Week vs Ste. Genevieve
August 20th 2017 by Dee Loflin
ShowMe Times Dexter Football Players of the Week vs Ste. Genevieve
Dexter, Missouri - The ShowMe Times is proud to highlight the outstanding performance of two Dexter Bearcat Football Athletes.  Each week the ShowMe Times will choose two players – one offensive player and one defensive player who will be featured as Players of the Week.

Leadership on the athletic field is often a good indicator of the future development of our young students and is a perfect training ground for future leaders.

This week was a tough decision as so many players contributed in ways that did not reflect on the stats sheet against Ste. Genevieve; however only two players were chosen.

The ShowMe Times is pleased to announce the Players of the Week are Seth Rogers and Caleb Hoggard.  Each will receive a Lotta Pig Basket from Dexter Queen!

The Offensive Player of the Week is junior, #16 Caleb Hoggard.  Caleb had 25 carries for 100 yards. His longest carry was 17 yards.

Caleb was a work horse for us, carrying it 25 times for 100 yards," stated head football coach Kevin Goltra. "He ran hard and didn't turn over the ball. We have to get that from him every week to be successful."

The Defensive Player of the Week is junior, #21 Seth Rogers.  Seth read the Ste. Gen Dragons' quarterback well and picked off a fourth-down pass/interception traveling 85 yards for the first touchdown of the game giving the Bearcats their first lead over Ste. Genevieve in six year.    This was Seth's first interception of his varsity career.  

"Seth was the obvious choice as defensive player of the week due to his pick 6," commented Goltra. "But when evaluating the film, he made other great plays against the run as well. He has really come on as a safety and look for him to continue to make big plays for us."

Congratulations to both of these two fine young men on their accomplishments.

The Bearcats will be back in action when they travel to Poplar Bluff to take on the Mules Friday, August 25th.  Game time 7:00 p.m.

DHS Cross Country Team Ready for 2017 Season
August 17th 2017 by Dee Loflin
DHS Cross Country Team Ready for 2017 Season

Dexter, Missouri - It's been many years since Dexter has sent anyone to state in Cross Country.  Could this be the year?  Coach Morse and his runners seem to think so and they believe they will have a very good season.

"Our goal every year is always so send as many runners to state as possible," commented head Cross Country Coach Leonard Morse.  "It's been many years since we have sent anyone.  I believe that drought will end this year.  We will have a very competitive team this year both on the boys' and the girls' sides.  I believe we have the runners to get to state thsi year.  I also believe we will see the school records for boys and girls broken this year and most likely several times each."

Cross Country is an individual team sport; however Coach Morse believes his runners this year have meshed into a team, a competitive team and a good group of individuals who are working together to build up a great Bearcat Cross Country program.

"I believe that this team will continue to improve over the positive steps it took last year," continued Morse.  "We have hungry runners who are working hard and I think that hard work will pay off in a very positive way.  We also have some very talented freshmen runners joining us this year who will push the varsity runners."

There are 13 seniors this year.  Leading the Bearcat pack are Emily Ladd on the girls Cross Country side. 

"She has been my number one girl all through high school," stated Morse.  

Also returning are seniors Jonni Hill and Shelby Smith who are also showing signs of great improvement.

"Sophomore Margo Nea is my returning number two girl.  They will be joined by freshman Madelyn Haynes.  While we only have one junior, Hannah Smith, we have a new crop of sophomore girls that are new to the team.  I believe that we will have several solid female runners emerge from this group which is good for this year and great for the next couple of years as well."

On the boys side there are six varsity runners returning.  Dawson kasting, Lucas Goodrich, Sean Rybolt, Nate Drivas, Matthew Chesser, and Dylan Long are extremely competitive.

"These six have been working hard this year.  Senior Blake Bolin returns from last year's team.  Jacob Chamness and Chris Seabaugh rejoin the team this year after taking their junior years off.  We also have a transfer runner in Dakota Morlan.  They will be joined by sophomore Dylan Homan and Wyatt Parker.  Then, we have three up and coming freshmen in Gavin Cartwright, Carter Dorton, and Andrew Ellinghouse.  I expect great things from these three throughout their high school careers."

Dexter will host an Invitational on Saturday, October 21st as well as the Class 3, District 1 meet on Saturday, October 28th.

"Hopefully we will perform well at districts on our home course.  While I am hopeful we will advance to the state meet, the District meet will give some of our seniors one last chance to run in front of family and friends at home."

Class 3, District 1 competition is tough in this part of southeast Missouri.  The Dexter Bearcats are up against several impressive schools such as Festus, DeSoto, Herculaneum, North County, Notre Dame, Potosi, Ste. Genevieve and Windsor.  Newcomers to the group are Kennett and Perryville and they continue to improve.  

"I do believe that we will make a strong showing at Districts this year on both the boys' side and girls' side," Morse said.

Seniors are Blake Bolin, Jacob Chamness, Matthew Chesser, Nate Drivas, Lucas Goodrich, Dawson Kasting, Dylan Long, Dakota Morlan, Sean Rybolt, Chris Seabaugh, Jonni Hill, Emily Ladd, and Shelby Smith.

The only junior cross country member is Hannah Smith.

Sophomores are Dylan Homan, Wyatt Parker, Keaira Craft, Samantha Glore, Shelby Haynes, Hailee Mayfield, Grace Milam, Margo Nea, AnnMarie Slaton, and Alexis Williamson.

Freshman are Gavin Cartwright, Carter Dorton, Andrew Ellinghouse, and Madelyn Haynes.

Managers for Cross Country are Jacob Smith, Andreus Garrett, Demi Cecil, and Sophie Freeman.

Dexter will compete in Class 3, District 1 with DeSoto, Doniphan, Kennett, Festus, Herculaneum, North County, Notre Dame, Perryville, Potosi, Ste. Genevieve and Windsor

Dexter Bearcats Enter Season with Confidence
August 17th 2017 by Dee Loflin
Dexter Bearcats Enter Season with Confidence
Dexter, Missouri - The Dexter Bearcats looked confident on Friday at the annual Football Jamboree held at Kennett.  Dexter tied with East Prairie, lost to NMCC and beat Kennett. Though no real score is kept during a Jamboree, most teams try not to show or give away their plays prior to opening kick-off of the "real" season.

As usual the Bearcats have a rather tough schedule this year.  For Coach Kevin Goltra, this will be his second season as head football coach at Dexter High School.  For the seniors it will be their last season as a Dexter football player and when they take the field on Friday night it will be the "last" first game of the season and perhaps the last time they will face the almighty Ste. Genevieve Dragons.

Coach Kevin Goltra is looking forward to his second year as a Bearcat.  He's had all summer to build a continued relationship with the players, teach them a some new offense and defense and hit the newly remodeled weight room.

"I thought we performed well on defense at the Jamboree," stated Goltra.  "We had some opportunities on offense if we wanted to exploit the defense, but that wasn't our goal.  Our goal was to work on our fundamentals and assignments.  We have some work to do with our blocking responsibilities on offense, but i was pleased overall.  We are much better team than we were last year."

"All of our defensive players had big plays in the jamboree.  At least every starter made a big play.  As for offense, I thought all the backs ran hard and Trout made a couple of nice catches.  We were trying not to show much on offense at the Jamboree, so there was there was flow to the play calling.  I think after fixing some blocking assignment issues at practice, we will be headed in the right direction."

Dexter will face the Ste. Genevieve Dragons in their home opener at Charles Bland Stadium on Friday, August 18, 2017.  The ShowMe Times will bring LIVE stats on the website.  Go to www.showmetimes.com and click Sports.  Hopefully there will be some Facebook LIVE as well and of course tons of photos that will be posted after the game.

The last few seasons Ste. Genevieve has dominated Dexter on the field both at home and away.  In 2015 the Bearcats lost to Ste. Gen 42-7, in 2016 Dexter suffered a 35 - 6 loss.  Last season the Coach Goltra's defense held the Dragons scoreless in the first quarter.  It's most definitely time for redemption!  Historically Ste. Genevieve leads Dexter 15 - 3.  This will be Coach Ken Weik's third year with the Dragons.  Game time is 7:00 p.m. at Charles Bland Stadium.  This is a non-conference game.

About a dozen seniors will start on the varsity team this year.  They are Austin Adams, Zach Cartwright, Landon Henson, Gabe Jackson, Trevor McDonald, Bo McMullin, Spencer Owens, Kris Rinehart, Ben Sindle, Nick Trout, Marcus Woodson, and Christian Yarber.

Juniors are Luke Boyer, Shawn Chambers, Jett Featherton, Braxton Foster, Nate Gargas, Colton Gibson, Eric Hahn, Caleb Hoggard, Justin Kenley, Hunter Lawrence, Ernesto Rivera, Seth Rogers, Brock Simmons, Jeremy Stearns, and Dalton Warren.

Sophomores are Matthew Agey, Ryder Foster, Austin Guy, Trey Johnson, Mason Keena, Brice Moore, Ricky Myers, and Austin Steele.

Freshman are Peyton Driskill, and C. J. Greene.

Dexter will compete in Class 3, District 1 with Park Hills, St. Pius of Festus, Ste. Genevieve, Kennett, Potosi, Fredericktown, and New Madrid County Central.
