Dexter, Missouri - The Dexter High School golf team has big expectations in the 2019 spring season.
The Bearcats will return four of their five top athletes from last year: senior Jake Harris, juniors Spencer Warren and Matt Agey, an sophomore Ryan Collier.
Three newcomers to complete the varsity roster are junior Luke Becker, and freshmen Dylan Sitze and Cy Worley.
A total of 16 players came out for golf this spring including ten freshmen.
Spencer Warren advanced to the Class 3 State Tournament in 2018 where he tied for 42nd place with a two day total of 163.
“We are looking forward to the season! We will return our #1, and #2 players Spencer Warren and Ryan Collier.," state head golf coach Eric Sitze. "We will also return Jake Harris and Matt Agey who have Varsity experience”
“But I think what will make this a successful season is this year’s depth. We will be adding two talented freshmen Cy Worley and Dylan Sitze along with a baseball transfer Luke Becker. All three have put in a lot of good time this past summer and fall to make our team really deep.. our depth this year reminds me of some of my better teams in the past.”
“I’m excited and have liked what I have seen so far in practice these last two weeks! The guys are working hard the focus is good.. it’s just fun to watch.”
Competing in Class 3, District 1 are Cape Central, Park Hills, Dexter, Farmington, Fredericktown, North County, Notre Dame, Perryville, Sikeston, and Ste. Genevieve.

Dexter, Missouri - The Dexter High School baseball team is slated to open its season on Saturday, March 16, 2019 at East City Park where they will face the defending Class 3 state champion the Malden Green Wave at 10:00 a.m. and then Clearwater at 2:00 p.m.
The Bearcats lost six starters from the 2018 season that went 5-16. Longtime head coach Brian Becker retired and assistant coach Drew Pixley has now stepped up to take over as head coach in the 2019 season. There are also a lot of new faces at the varsity level as well.
Drew Pixley is a 2007 graduate of Dexter High School and wasa three time 1st Team All-Conference and 1st Team All-District during his high school baseball career. He played two years of college baseball at Mineral Area College before playing two more years at Murray State University graduating in 2012.
Pixley has a passion for baseball there is no doubt that he will bring a lot of knowledge and experience to the plate. He moved to Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 2014 and worked for Elite Baseball where his main focus was to develop young baseball players and prepare them to play at the next level. He worked with more than 120 athletes that have either played baseball, are currently playing, or are signed to play next year. He also helped analyze swing mechanics for Derek Fisher, who is currently playing for the Houston Astros as an outfielder and was a 2017 World Series Champion.
It's great to have him back in Dexter working with our youth and developing talent on the baseball field. He is assisted by his father, Aaron Pixley, and by veteran assistant coach Cody Boyer.
