The Bobcat varsity football team loaded on the bus early last Friday, October 11 for a four plus hour ride to the Bridger Valley of Wyoming. The team was set to play the Lyman Eagles that afternoon, in what coach Boone Bowker had called a “must win game.” While the Eagles sit in last place in the West Conference, they are in no way a team to be overlooked. And, it was a good thing the Cats went into the game with that thought in mind. Before the game, coach Bowker had said the team needed to come away with a win in Lyman to have any shot at...

Since the Bobcats do not have any female runners this year, the eight members of the boys te...
