The Hot Springs County High School golf team was scheduled to travel to Sheridan last week, to play on the Powder Horn Golf Course - one of the premier private golf courses in the state. Unfortunately, and very disappointingly, weather conditions deteriorated towards the end of the week – resulting in the cancellation of that event. Coach Brandon Deromedi said, “We have tried for the last five years to get to play that outstanding golf course, but Mother Nature has always had other ideas. It would be really nice to have our golfers have a cha...

After the event, coach Boone Bowker commented, “That was an all-around good showing for the Bobcats team. I’m e...

The event was held at the Kendrick Golf Course, which will host the State Tournament this fall. Kendrick is a par 72, 18-hole public course that is fairly unique in its layout, having few bunkers and not a lot of trees. The event served as a good preview of a course many of the Bobcats and Lady Bobcats look forward to playing on in the state tournament. The Lady Cats registered four players for the event – Lilly J...

Hot Springs County High School Bobcat golf players opened their spring season last Friday at the Worland Invite, held at Green Hills Golf Club, an eighteen hole public course which boasts a rank of number three among public courses located in the state. The event was a first outing for most of those competing - leaving the golfers to face the effects of a long winter break from the sport. Conditions were not ideal, including a sustained wind of 25 miles per hour. Therefore, the scores put up by all of the competitors were not of the kind which...

And, just like that, it’s track season! Hopefully, that means Mother Nature is finished with the cold and snow. Being as this is Wyoming, however, we know better than to hold our breath on that subject. The Bobcat track teams opened their season in Pavillion last Saturday with both the Bobcats and Lady Cats setting the scene for a great season to come.

The Hot Springs County High School Lady Cats wrestling team sent five wrestlers to the All Class State Championships, which were held in Casper this past weekend. Considering there are just six members comprising the Lady Cats team, that was a quite impressive feat. Even more impressive, however, were the three state placers, and a first ever state champion, that came out of the event. Scoring in just four weight categories, the Lady Cats team finished the state championships tied at 9th place,...

The Hot Springs County High School Boys Basketball Team were on the road in Lander on Thursday and then returned home to face Powell on Saturday. After a gut-wrenching loss to Lander, the team then had the unenviable task of facing the undefeated team from Powell. After leading the Lander Tigers through the first three quarters, the Bobcats suffered a loss of focus in the fourth, that allowed Lander an opportunity to get back into the game. Jhett Longwell played a very effective low post in the game, which allowed Brody Potter to increase his...

The Hot Springs County High School girls varsity basketball team was at home last week for games against Worland and then Pinedale.

The Lady Cats got started early, playing with confidence and determination at both ends of the court. Offensively, the Lady Cats passed the ball crisply, and strategical...

The Hot Springs County High School girls basketball team traveled to Lovell last Friday, for a rematch of an in-conference game against the Lady Bulldogs.

Maggie Landon made her first start on varsity in the contest, while Kamryn Farrell played through a lower body injury suffered earlier in the week. Injury or not, Farrell was unfazed, and finished the game as the...
The Hot Springs County High School boys basketball team was in Lovell last Friday, for a conference game against the Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs came into the weekend ranked third - sitting in second place in the division, and carrying a 14 and 4 record. While the two teams appeared evenly matched on the stats sheet, their records showed that the Cats were leading in turnovers – not a category in which a team really wan...
The Hot Springs County High School Bobcat wrestling teams had been scheduled to attend the Buffalo Duals last weekend, however, Mother Nature had other plans. With an apparent snow filled storm brewing, the teams thought better of attempting to head over the pass, and focused instead on getting ready for regionals this weekend. While, consequently, both teams had the weekend off, coach Travis McDermott insisted on each wrestler making weight on Friday - to keep the team focused, and to maintain routines and regimens, which the wrestlers had...
