Greer's Grind Sets the Tone at Chaminade - Reposted with permission by author David Kvidahl and photo by Rich Ulreich
CREVE COEUR • Marcus Greer's uniform collar is white. His hard hat is a red football helmet. But every day Greer brings a blue collar work ethic to work.
Some days it's the weight room. Others it's the football field. No matter where he and his Chaminade teammates are at that morning, you can bet Greer will be the first one there.
“I guess it comes from my dad. He had five brothers so they're all real competitive,” Greer said. “He always says first one there, last one to leave. That really stuck with me.”
Greer is No. 14 in the Post-Dispatch's Super 30 countdown of the area's top senior college football prospects.
SUPER 30: 2017-18 POST-DISPATCH COUNTDOWN
A 6-foot-3 and 295-pound offensive guard, Greer's size and skill made him an attractive recruit. He verbally committed to Middle Tennessee State after being deluged with offers from Air Force, Army, Bowling Green, Central Arkansas, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Louisiana Tech, Navy, New Mexico, Ohio, South Dakota, South Dakota State, Southeast Missouri State, Syracuse and Tennessee Tech.
You'd have never known Greer was such a hot commodity the way he went about his business. Greer's family relocated from Dexter, Missouri, when he was in elementary school. You can take the kid out of Dexter, but you can't take Dexter out of the kid. Greer continued to grind every day no matter how many offers, letters and phone calls came from college programs.
“I didn't focus on the offers and stuff. My brother and dad said if I kept working hard they'll come,” Greer said. “After I got the first one they started piling on. I kept acting like I didn't have any. I just worked hard and stayed humble.”

Dexter, Missouri - Athletes are taking advantage of the new and upgraded weight room at Dexter High School. Both middle school and high school athletes have been working hard in their newly remodeled weight room. With more weigh lifting equipment and better design, more athletes can get their work-out done in a timely fashion and ready to hit the field or court.
Through local donations from the community the Dexter Schools were able to purchase new equipment and upgrade the entire weight room.
"There was a need for a facility upgrade," commented Dexter's head football coach Kevin Goltra. "A few business men offered to help and a complete overhaul was made. I think this is the best highs school weight room in southeast Missouri."
The weight room is designed so that any athlete from middle school to high school can utilize the equipment.
"Every sport, every athlete have the opportunity to use this facility," continued Goltra. "We have rehab equipment, kettle bells, and nine new racks and platforms. We can also do two or more major lifts at a time and within a 35-40 minute window which will give our football athletes more time on the field during practices."
Earlier in 2017 prior to the renovation, the Goltra's weight lifting athletes participated in weight lifting competition in Scott City and earned a first place finish. It is his hope that they continue to compete and perhaps host a competition in the future.
With the new renovations, athletes can increase their productivity 30 - 40% during weight lifting classes. They are able to put 3 students to each station now.
"The weight room is absolutely gorgeous. It is the vision of many people and it took many to make it happen," commented Dexter High School Activities/Athletic Director Aaron Pixley. "The room has new paint, flooring, ceiling, and equipment. Something that our kids deserve. It will be a valuable tool for all our athletes in every sport. Every athlete (male and female) is highly encouraged to make their workouts daily and now they have something to be proud of."
