Bobcat golfers second at tourney

The Thermopolis Bobcats and Lovell Bulldogs joined forces last week to host the Cats and Dogs invitational golf tourney on Thursday and Friday.

The first day the teams played on the course in Lovell, finishing things up on Friday in Thermopolis, giving the Cats a bit of a home field advantage.

The Lovell course is a shorter course and features a lot of hazards, which gave the Cats some trouble with hitting the ball both straight and accurate.

Coach Brandon Deromedi said the team rebounded very well for day two, as they have all season, while at home.

The varsity boys placed second for the tourney with Hardy Johnson placing first, Jeffry Clark taking 12th, Hadley Johnson coming in in 13th place, Will Clark pulling in at 18th and Seth Weyer rounding out the varsity team at 23rd.

Deromedi said Maddie Stam met her goal of breaking 100 strokes in a tournament by turning in a 97 on Friday, giving her second place in the girls division.

The JV side of the team had Tyler Kay coming out in 32nd place, Owen McCumber, 39th, Jean-Luc Wilson, 48th and Spencer Calhoun in 49th.

The teams will head to Glenrock on Friday and then over to Lusk on Saturday.

“It is nice to play Lusk as they will play host to the 2A state tournament on September 20-21,” coach Deromedi said.
