For more years than they care to consider, the Hot Springs County Bobcat football team has experienced defeat at the hands of the Lovell Bulldogs.

The Bobcats played host to the team from Lovell on Friday night, S...

The Class 2A State Championship Golf Tournament was played in Douglas over two days last weekend with the Lady Cats bringing home first place and the Bobcats bringing home second place. In preparation for the tournament last week, Coach Brandon Deromedi had made a prediction. “We have a really good chance to have four of our Lady Cats in the top ten at state, and could very well have three of our Bobcats in the top ten.” Prophetic? Yeah, pretty much. All five of the Lady Cats finished the Cha...

In a game that was historic on many levels, the Hot Springs County High School Bobcat football team was in Worland last weekend. It was the first game played against the Warriors in Worland since 2008. And, it was the first time the Bobcats have defeated the Warriors since 1998. In a hard fought battle, the Bobcats claimed the win, 14-10. After winning their season opener against Tongue River on September 5, the Cats were pumped to play in Worland. With fall rains in the air causing two lightening delays in the course of the game, the contest...
The Hot Springs County High School Volleyball team hosted Lander Valley last Tuesday night. After suffering a gut wrencher to Worland on September 5, the Lady Cats were in need of a win and a boast to their morale. The game against Lander was just what the doctor ordered. After losing the first two sets to the #5 ranked, Class 3A Lady Tigers, the Lady Cats could, perhaps, have been excused for giving in, however, that thought never entered their minds. As the student section came alive,...
The Hot Springs County High School volleyball team hosted their nemesis from Worland last Friday night. Although the team made improvements in their play from the week before, Worland just proved to be too much. The Lady Cats started the night strong in game one, getting up by as much as ten points, however, a few let ups in focus allowed the Lady Warriors to get back into the game, and the changing score seemed to negatively impact the Lady Cats self-confidence. Game one went to Worland, by a...
The Hot Springs County High School Bobcat football team opened the 2025 season against the Tongue River Eagles last Friday night. Coming off a close loss to Newcastle in week zero, the team was geared up to get the new year under way. With the late afternoon sun fading beyond the west end-zone, and casting long shadows across the length of the field, the Cats won the toss but elected to defer. After the Eagles went three and out, and following a shanked punt, the Cats found themselves with first and ten from the Eagles 41 yard line. A...

Last year the Cats earned a win on the final play of the game, with a touchdown pass to Ryan Arends in the end zone.

While the game only counts as a scrimmage for purposes of the season...
