Although they will not be moving on to the State Tournament, the Lady Cats finished their season with great heart and a ton of effort at the Regional Tournament in Buffalo last weekend.

The Thermopolis Bobcats had a tough time at the 3A Regional Tournament in Buffalo last week, losing to Douglas 72-30 on Thursday, and to Rawlins 51-38 Friday. Of Douglas, Thermopolis Coach Kevin Gerber said they went on to win regionals on our side, and they certainly showed why they were up there the whole season.

Leading the team were Cullen Becher (40-15),Koy Myers (36-17), Austen Ireland (18-11), Jonathan Harvey (16-11), Blake Williams (14-10), and Riley Shaffer (12-11).

The Lady Bobcat basketball team played their final regular season game last Saturday, dropping a close game to the Lady Dogies of Newcastle, 40-32. Head coach Cory Sova said he thought the girls gave it their all against Newcastle, but they definitely were lacking in concentration and energy. "I'm sure sitting on a bus for over seven hours took a toll on us," he said. "Our game got pushed back three hours because of bus issues and a late arrival." Sova said the girls were not happy with their...

"We really moved the ball well," Gerber...

Two of our guys (Austin Ireland and Riley Shaffer) achieved results totally unexpected. Koy (Myers) overcame the pain of an injured elbow to record three...
