Glen Johnson (standing) and Andrew Cato (lifting) can be found most mornings at Dexter High School taking advantage of the open weight room program. Both Johnson and Cato played football at Dexter and they will be continuing their gridiron careers at the college level this year. The pair of DHS graduates have signed scholarships to play football for Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri. Bolivar is a NCAA Division II, four-year school where the team mascot is also a Bearcat. "Once a Bearcat, always a Bearcat," Johnson joked after his workout.

Good luck to these two.....not many get so say they are or were a college athlete.

And that is correct, once a BEARcat, always a BEARcat.
