Go Bobcats!

As you flip through the pages of this week’s edition of the Independent Record, you’re sure to notice that the Thermopolis Bobcats had an incredible week and we sure are proud of these young people.

The boys basketball team played a scorcher against our age-old rival, Worland, and came out on top.

The wrestling team took a 15 man team to their regional contest, came home with first in 2A and all 15 of the young men are now qualified for state.

The robotics team had their state competition over the weekend and not only did well on their own, they were chosen to be in an alliance with another team and received a control award for their efforts.

Robotics team member Krynn McGinty was chosen for the Wyoming State Dean’s List for her work with the robotics team, too.

The speech team competed in Worland for two days, not only winning the 1A-2A division, but placing second over all, beating out 3A and 4A teams in the process. Every member of the team was on stage for final awards and everyone brought home hardware.

Our Bobcats are a source of pride for this town and we often forget how much effort these kids are putting into their activities and sports. There are early morning practices and late night rehearsals, fundraising and camps, all to get to this peak of performance.

Here’s a cheer for all our Bobcats!

GO CATS!
