Season's Over!
Monday November 10th, 2008
I can't believe the season's over. We came up short on the last game of the year and ended the 2008 season 5-6. We are moving this team in the right direction, and with another great off-season and another great recruiting class, we'll be even better in 2009! Thanks for all your support, we appreciate it!


5-5! Final Game at Rolla
Monday November 3rd, 2008
Wow, we came out and had a great Senior Day winning 38-7 over Saint Joseph's College. Thanks to all of you who have came out and supported our football team this season. This week we are on the road against Missouri S&T in Rolla. This game is for a winning season for the first time since 2001! Our players have been giving great effort and we expect even greater effort this game. I hope you can make the trip to Rolla- it will be a great one!


What a game! We need our fans this Saturday!
Monday October 27th, 2008
We came up short this week against a good Ouachita Baptist team. Our offense looked really good, but we made too many errors on both sides of the ball. It's back to work as we prepare for our last home game of the season against a good St. Joseph's College team. We expect another great showing from the Bearcats as we honor our seniors. I hope you can make it to the game. Coach's Crew- if you come up with a good fake punt and/or a fake field goal, we will work on it this week and try and run it this Saturday!


4-4
Monday October 20th, 2008
We had a tough loss on the road against Northeastern State. We made too many mistakes on offense, defense and in the kicking game to win. Good thing is we bounce back this Saturday at home against a very good Ouachita Baptist football team. We will need your support to beat the Tigers! We hope to see you there at 1:30pm.

Our kids have had a good week of practice (thus far) and we look forward to the challenge of playing a team of Northwest Missouri's caliber.

Again thanks for all of your support and we hope to see you Saturday night in Maryville.



SEMO Game
Friday August 29th, 2008
We had our opportunities last night to put away SEMO.  Our team did a great job of getting on top of them early, but we were unable to stay on top as we lost a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter.  Our kids have worked hard and I know this is very disappointing, but we will learn from our mistakes and press on!  Thank you for your support of this Bearcat Football team as we continue to press on!

Loaded up and Truckin'
Monday July 7, 2008
Alot of exciting things are happening for Bearcat Football this summer. We just launched the new coachallen.com website, we just got new platforms and dumbbells for the weightroom, and so much more. We have a great group of players that are already back in town to get ready for the '08 season. To paraphrase Jerry Reed, "East bound and down, loaded up and truckin', we're gonna do what they say can't be done. We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there. "


65 Days
Tuesday June 24, 2008
As I walked into the office today I notice, as I notice everyday, there is one less day till kickoff. For some that's a great thing and others a scary thing. For the Bearcat football program this is a great thing-we are one day closer to show people what we are about! Our players report August 5th so they report in 42 days (6 weeks)!
