The Hot Springs County High School Lady Cats wrestling team sent five wrestlers to the All Class State Championships, which were held in Casper this past weekend. Considering there are just six members comprising the Lady Cats team, that was a quite impressive feat. Even more impressive, however, were the three state placers, and a first ever state champion, that came out of the event. Scoring in just four weight categories, the Lady Cats team finished the state championships tied at 9th place,...

The Hot Springs County High School Boys Basketball Team were on the road in Lander on Thursday and then returned home to face Powell on Saturday.
