On Saturday, the Thermopolis Middle School Bobcats took a 44-28 win against Greybull, capping off a perfect 7-0 season. Regarding Saturday's game, coach Shane Corpening said it was a pretty "back and forth" game, the biggest thing was for the players to pick themselves up as a team and ride through the low points while riding the momentum changes. "It seemed like Greybull had all the momentum," Corpening said. "Our defense came up with a huge stop and our offense was able to answer." Corpening... Full story

He didn't charge anything, but donations...

National Teen Driver Safety Week begins on Sunday, the perfect time to chat with your teen about things like distracted driving, seat belts, speeding and impaired driving. One of the most common and dangerous distractions for teens behind the wheel are cell phones.
