Thermopolis Independent Record

		January 26, 2012
		The Thermopolis Bobcat speech and debate team boosted its season tourney record to 3-0 with a solid win at Worland Friday and Saturday. Freshman Logan Kay pulled an upset in dramatic interpretation by winning the event in only his third tournament. Senior Megan Kraushaar matched Kay’s efforts by winning in poetry interpretation. She also won a special award for overcoming the toughest competition; the prize was a Kindle e-reader. Despite a lackluster last three quarters, the Thermopolis girls improved their 2A Northwest Conference basketball record to 3-1 with a 39-33 victory Friday at Greybull. The Lady Bobcats were a step slow covering Worland’s shooters on Saturday in Worland as the 3A Lady Warriors posted a 62-48 win. Thermop is halfway through the conference season and is back on the road this week. The Lady Cats have a non-conference game Friday at Burlington (5:30 p.m. varsity) before facing Riverside for the first time Saturday (3 p.m. varsity). Hot Springs County School District No. 1 trustees approved the 2010-11 audit report, extended the contract of Superintendent Dustin Hunt, and heard a presentation on district curriculum development during the Jan. 19 board meeting. Rick Engelbrecht gave trustees a brief technology update pertaining to the virtualization system being developed in the district.
