Dexter, Missouri- Friday night the Dexter Bearcats will face off against the Park Hills Central Rebels at Charles "Seed" Bland Stadium at 7:00 P.M. They will look to upset the Rebels that sit at 5-2 on the season. 
This game against the Rebels is Senior Night for the Bearcats as it will be their last home game as football players for Dexter.

The Central Rebels will bring with them a tough style of football, that is coming off a rout of the Perryville Pirates in league play.  The Rebels traveled to Perryville last Friday and beat the Pirates handily by the score of 35-0.

The Central Rebels football team earned a share of the MAFC Conference championship on Friday with their shut-out of the Perryville Pirates. The Rebels will share the Conference title with Maplewood and Ste. Genevieve with all three finishing conference play with 4-1 records.

The Rebels feature several talented football players on offense. One of these athletes is a talented running back Derek Mitchell, who ran the ball 16 times in the game for 103 yards in the game against Perryville.

.
The Rebels defense is also just as dangerous as the offense. With two minutes left before the half against the Pirates, the Rebels pinned Perryville down at the 20 yard line, forced a fumble, and recovered the ball in the end zone for a score. Reid Lucas led their defense with 17 tackles.

If Dexter hopes to win this game against the Central Rebels they will have to play good defense, limit their turnovers and take advantage of any turnovers they can get from the Rebels.  They will also need to play well on offense and establish the running game to set up their passing game.

This game will be very special for the Senior football players. Friday night is Senior Night the Bearcats and they will surely be fired up and give it everything they have to come away with a win.  Be sure to come out to Charles Bland Stadium on Friday at 7:00 and support these Seniors in their last home game as Bearcat football players.
