Ahh, June - that most hospitable of seasons. When rays of sunshine, and azure skies, provide a welcoming warmth, after the dreary days of winter - and the uncertain times of spring. When the cottonwood trees have fully leaved out - and the Kentucky blue grass has assumed the enticing hue of British racing green. These are times when a young man’s fancy turns to baseball. His thoughts morph from algebra and trigonometry, to a more applied form of mathematics - baseball statistics. Gone are the dreary lessons of government, social studies and E...

Let’s just say the weather this winter in Wyoming has been a bit atypical. While the indoor winter sports of wrestling and basketball were under way, outside it was more like spring than winter. And, just as we hit the outdoor sports of spring, mother nature sends along some of the snow we were lacking back in February. For Coach Ryan Shaffer and the Bobcats golf teams, it has been a bit of rocky ride this spring. Snow showers meant cancellations of both the Buffalo tournament two weeks ago and also last week’s tournament in Powell, making a s...
