Dexter, Missouri- On Monday night under the lights of Charles "Seed" Bland Stadium the Dexter Junior Varsity Bearcats took on the Jackson Indians.  The Bearcats came into the game after a long layoff, without playing a game for the last two weeks.

Before the game had started the JV Bearcats knew it would be a tough match-up with the Jackson Indians.  The Indians regularly field teams with a combination of size mixed with plenty of players that have speed.

The game started fast as the Indians took the kickoff and proceeded to march the ball down the field ending in a quick touchdown drive, two point conversion, and an 8-0 lead. 

Dexter couldn't answer with points of their own in the first quarter, however the Bearcats played well on defense.  They held the Indians scoreless the remainder of the 1st quarter. 

In the second quarter the JV Bearcats continued with their "bend but don't break" defense for the majority of the half.  At the 3:38 mark in the second, Jackson drove down the field and scored on a seven yard pass into the end-zone.  The two point conversion made the score 16-0.

Dexter received the ball on the kickoff and couldn't manage to get their offense going against an aggressive Jackson Indian defense.  Jackson got the ball back quickly and scored a rushing touchdown and two point conversion to put the Indians up 24-0 at halftime.

In the second half it was much of the same as the Indians scored another touchdown and two point conversion to give them a 32-0 lead.

With 6:35 left in the 3rd quarter the Bearcats finally got on the scoreboard with a long touchdown run around the left side of the line by the running-back.  With a failed conversion the score was 32-6 in favor of the Jackson Indians.

The Indians scored again in the 3rd quarter and the final quarter to put the final score at 46-6.  This was the final game on the Junior Varsity Bearcats schedule this year.  It was a tough year for the JV Bearcats but they learned plenty of lessons throughout the year and will come back next year with more experience.
