However, the points came late in the game, and weren't enough to match the 50 Newcastle put up in the first half. The 'Cats were able to keep on the Dogies, though, keeping them from scoring any more in the second. Turnovers - both in fumbles and interceptions - made it difficult for the Bobcats to move the ball in their favor early on....

Though the Hot Springs County High School football team lost its Homecoming matchup against Burns, 34-20, Friday night, the Bobcats sure didn't make it easy for the Broncs, keeping within a touchdown at the half and into the third quarter.

The varsity Bobcat golfers tested their mettle against the Absaroka Conference last week on the beautiful Buffalo Golf Course. Coach Jacob Smith said it was an excellent view of the difference between the 2A competition that the Cats faced before and the 3A competition they will face in the future. “The top end of each is very competitive,” Smith said, “but 2A teams lack the depth of roster that most 3A teams boast.” Smith believes the varsity boys, coming off of two straight 2A state titles,...
