The Dexter Bearcat Golf Team won their first District Title in nine years on Monday, April 29th at the St. Francois Country Club in Farmington, Missouri.

They defeated 2nd place Farmington by 9 strokes to win the Class 3, District 1 tourney with a score of 333; Farmington posted a 342.

In 2010 the 'Cats placed 3rd in the state tournament. 

“I would have never expected 333 to win today,” stated Dexter coach Eric Sitze, “ but it did and I couldn’t be happier for the kids. They have played better but we will take it today.”

Spencer Warren of Dexter placed second with a 2-over 74.

Wil Claywell, of North County, won the individual championship with a 73.

“Spencer was right there for first again today,” Sitze said. “He is getting closer. He started out minus-3 on his first four holes. We had an hour-plus rain delay that might have affected his momentum a little.”

All five Dexter golfers placed in the top 16.

Dylan Sitze tied for 6th with 82, Cy Worley tied for ninth with 88, Ryan Collier was 11th with 89, and Luke Becker was 16th with 92.

Dexter will compete in the Class 3 Sectional Tournament Monday, May 6, 2019 at Crown Pointe Golf Course in Farmington.
