The Bobcat golf team traveled to Kemmerer in their latest match last Friday. "This was a fun event that we don't often get to do. We just had a dual because all of 3A and 4A were at their state qualifying events and the other 2A schools are all on the East side of the state. We decided to compete in this dual rather than traveling to the other side of the state, two weeks in a row. It was fun because we got to play a different style (match play) where one player from our team plays the equal...

The Thermopolis Middle School Football team started their season off with a victory over Shoshoni on Sept. 3. Coach Shane Corpening said “I thought we played really well from the start.

by Tatum Epperson The Bobcats hosted the Tongue River Eagles for their first home game of the season. Coach Matt McPhie said “It was a tough battle against a really good Tongue River team.

I am excited...
by Tatum Epperson The Bobcat Golf Team attended the Lander Invitational last Thursday and Friday, competing against Lander, Kemmerer, Green River, Lyman, Natrona County and Pinedale. “I was really pleased with the performances on the boys’ side of the tournament.

by Tatum Epperson The Bobcat Golf Team has been busy and there is no end in sight. Last Thursday, the Bobcats hosted their invite on their home course. Coach Brandon Deromedi said, "At home, we left a few strokes out on the course on the boys side. At times, I believe playing at home can be more difficult than on an unfamiliar course. The expectation feels like you should play well since you know the course but the reality is that a casual round or practice round of golf is much different than...

by Tatum Epperson The Lady Bobcat Varsity Volleyball team kicked off the season at Rocky Mountain. Varsity Coach, Shannon Hill said “I am very excited for this season and the potential this varsity team has. I made some early match changes with some positions, and the girls adapted really well to those changes.
