The team went from one state placer last year (Cullen Becher), to four this year, and our points total nearly doubled. For the smallest 3A school in the state, that's not bad." He continued, "There will be a hole where the four seniors were; their leadership and work ethic will be missed, but there are some good young wrestlers coming along to replace them."

Several came close. Jon Harvey was well ahead when a weak move opened the door for his opponent to turn him to his back for the pin. The Bobcats' only state placer from last year's state tourney, Cullen Becher, had mounted a strong comeback after being down by several points and gained control of his opponents legs on a "double leg shot" at a...

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...
