    Cindy Glasson|Feb 15, 2018

    The Lady Bobcat's varsity basketball team had a rough time in their game against Worland's Lady Warriors last week, ending the night with a 27-51 loss. Worland dominated every statistical category with the exception of free-throws and their mix of size and quickness bothered the Cats, but coach Cory Sova said the girls didn't play offensively like they are capable. "When we finally would run our offense with aggressiveness and decent execution, we struggled shooting the ball," Sova said. "I was...

    Mark Dykes, Editor|Feb 15, 2018

    Though the boys JV basketball team came away with a 61-48 loss against Worland this past weekend, Coach Ryan Shaffer said they played well. He tried to switch a few things up to give them a better second quarter, as it has been rough during most of their games. “I tried to switch out the personnel a little bit, which I think worked a little better. We still gave up some, but we only gave up four in the first and four in the second . . . so down only eight points at halftime was a lot better for...

    Mark Dykes, Editor|Feb 8, 2018

    Boys JV basketball Coach Ryan Shaffer said after a couple low-scoring games against Buffalo and Rawlins, last week’s games against Wheatland and Torrington were a nice change.

  • Wrestlers battle at Ron Thon

    Rex Clothier|Feb 1, 2018

    A busy week saw the Bobcat wrestlers entertain the Buffalo Bison at home Thursday in a dual that wasn't that entertaining for the Bobcats.

Becher used an impressive double leg takedown in a first period pin of his opponent while White overpowered his Bison foe also in the first period with a 1:34 pin. The 45-30 loss was made respectable more by the forfeits given...

    Cindy Glasson, Reporter Photographer|Feb 1, 2018
