Sectional

Owensville High School does not require masks or face coverings, they do recommend them to be worn when physical distancing is not possible. They ask that all spectators sit in family groups with 6' distance kept between groups. They are limiting gym capacity to 50%; with this limitation their capacity is slightly over 1,100 spectators. Owensville is confident they will have plenty of room for all spectators from each school. Owensville will assign sections of the gym for spectators from each school and ask that we use the assigned quarter of the gym. Owensville will have floor level and balcony level seating, our assigned section will run from the floor to the top to provide ample room. Our volleyball team will receive 75 vouchers. The holder of these vouchers will guarantee admission, but they do not see us getting anywhere near 1,100 people on Saturday.
We have a limited number of general public tickets available for the Dexter-Ste. Genevieve football game scheduled to be played this Friday at Ste. Genevieve. These tickets will be offered on a first come-first serve basis. If you are interested in tickets, email Josh Dowdy at jdowdy@dexter.k12.mo.us.
Thank you.
