August 16th 2018 by Dee Loflin

Dexter, Missouri - The 2018 Lady Cats tennis season will open on Friday, August 24th vs Poplar Bluff at Dexter. Game time is 4:00 p.m. The Lady Cats will be under new head tennis coach, Mrs. Kristi Boles. This is Boles first year coaching.

Twenty-two Lady Cats are on the 2018 tennis team with 9 being freshmen.

"I am not sure on exactly why the high number of girls, but I feel it is a good problem to have," commented Coach Boles. "This is my first year coaching and I have seen great improvements in all these ladies from summer until now."

"We lost three seniors last year, who were the #1, 2 and 3 ranked ladies," continued Boles. "I do feel I have some girls ready to jump into those roles and provide great leadership."

District assignments have not been announced for high school fall sports. Hopefully not much will change for girls tennis.

"I expect u to make a great showing and I know the girls are ready to beat Kennett," finished Boles. Kennett is in search of its 12 straight district title. District assignments will be released later this month by MSHSAA.

MDC Waterfowl Hunting Reservations Open September 1, 2018

August 10th 2018 by Dee Loflin

MDC waterfowl hunting reservations open Sept. 1

Apply online Sept. 1 – 18 to hunt waterfowl on 12 MDC managed wetland areas.

Jefferson City, Missouri - The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds waterfowl hunters they have from Sept. 1 through Sept. 18 to apply online with MDC to hunt on 12 wetland areas intensively managed by the Department for waterfowl.

For more information and to apply starting Sept. 1, go to mdc.mo.gov and search “Waterfowl Reservations,” or apply directly at short.mdc.mo.gov/Z4W.

The reservation system allocates half of the available hunting opportunities on these areas for Missouri residents chosen through a random drawing. The other half are for walk-in hunters who draw on-site each morning for the remaining spots.

MDC reminds hunters that waterfowl hunting in Missouri is influenced by habitat conditions, weather, and the timing of migrations more than overall duck and goose numbers.

Get more information on related regulations, seasons, species, permits, limits, and more from MDC’s “Migratory Bird and Waterfowl Hunting Digest 2018-2019,” available where hunting permits are sold.

Get hunting details by species from the MDC website at huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/.

Buy hunting permits from numerous vendors around the state, online at mdc.mo.gov/buypermits, or through MDC’s free MO Hunting mobile app, available for download through Google Play for Android devices or the App Store for Apple devices.

Potential Changes for Crappie Fishing At Wappapello Lake

August 07th 2018 by Dee Loflin

MDC seeks public input on possible regulation change for crappie fishing at Wappapello Lake

Potential regulation change will increase the opportunity for anglers to harvest fish.

Wappapello, Missouri - The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is seeking public input on a possible regulation change for crappie fishing at Wappapello Lake in Wayne County to both allow anglers to keep more crappie and promote more consistency in the quality of the fishery. Wappapello Lake is a popular fishing location in Southeast Missouri. According to MDC, crappie are the most popular fish sought by anglers fishing the lake.

Under the existing MDC regulation, anglers may harvest a daily limit of 30 white and black crappie combined with a minimum length of 9 inches. Under the proposed regulation change, there will be no minimum length limit for crappie. The daily limit will remain at 30 crappie, but not more than 15 of those fish could be above 9 inches.

“Only about two percent of the black crappie in Wappapello ever reach nine inches,” explained MDC Fisheries Management Biologist Dave Knuth. “Therefore, not many black crappie get harvested by anglers with the current regulation.”

The proposed regulation change would allow anglers to harvest more of the slow growing black crappie, while preventing overharvest of white crappie.

“I hope to see a lot of the anglers at these upcoming meetings and have the opportunity to visit with them about this proposed change,” Knuth said.

MDC will hold two public meetings focusing on the proposed regulation change for Wappapello Lake:

Sept. 17, 6 to 8 p.m. at New Home General Baptist Church, 1864 Hwy AA, Poplar Bluff, MO 63901.

Sept. 18, 6 to 8 p.m. at Greenville Elementary Gymnasium, 195 Walnut St., Greenville, MO 63944

MDC invites public comment on the proposed regulation change online at www.mdc.mo.gov/CrappieComments.

Fishing regulations can vary between waters so anglers should check regulations for the specific waters they are fishing. For more information about fishing in Missouri, visit https://huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/fishing.

Dexter Competes Well in 7on7 and Lineman Challenge

August 06th 2018 by Dee Loflin

Sikeston, Missouri - The Dexter Bearcats participated in a 7on7 football challenge and lineman challenge at Sikeston along with Scott City and New Madrid County Central.

"We competed well in both the 7on7 and the lineman challenge," commented Dexter Head Football Coach Aaron Pixley. "We were down a couple of our stronger lineman and came together and worked hard and most importantly had fun."

"We also were down a couple of potential starters for the 7on7 as well, but played hard and had great attitudes the whole day," continued Pixley. "The 7on7 is fantasy in a lot of ways so win or lose in the summer it doesn’t necessarily dictate how your season will go. This team needs to continue to learn to fight through any adversity thrown at them. If we do that we’ll be competitive during the season."

The Dexter Bearcats will also be at Sikeston on Friday, August 17, 2018 at the Bulldog Jamboree. Caruthersville will also be competing. It all begins at 6 p.m. Time to fire-up Bearcats!

The Bearcats will open their season at Ste. Genevieve on Friday, August 24, 2018. Kick-Off at 7 p.m.
