The Bobcat Wrestling Team traveled to Buffalo on Friday to wrestle Buffalo and Tongue River. “We did not perform very well against either team. We didn’t seem to have much of a spark Friday night. It is also difficult for our freshman to get experienced varsity opponents. Most of our matches were with freshman against Buffalo varsity wrestlers. I think that put us in a poor mental mode against Tongue River,” said coach Travis McDermott He did note there were a couple of bright spots. Against Tongue River, Dalton Price and Wyatt McDermott both...

The Bobcats wrestled five duals last week on Friday and Saturday, winning one. They faced some top competition. “At this point in the season we are looking for the best competition we can get for our wrestlers. Without tournaments this year our top wrestlers don’t get as many chances to wrestle 3A and 4A wrestlers that we would in a normal tournament filled season. With that when Star Valley asked to be included in our duals we took that opportunity. Star Valley has the best team in the state in any class and our athletes took the cha...

The Bobcats wrestled a home dual last Thursday against Wind River. Although they lost the dual, it was exciting as it came down to the heavyweight match. With injuries at 182 lbs., the Bobcats had to give up too many weights. "We lost some close matches in this dual that came down to conditioning.

"We progressed very well...
