"I currently have an entire deck out there now," he said. "I'm pretty sure I...

The Summerland Bobcats shook off a slow start to claim a decisive 65-22 victory over the Niobrara/Verdigre Cougars in a non-conference matchup Friday, Dec. 13. While the Bobcats led 16-0 after the first quarter, Coach Brett Kaczor noted the team lacked its usual intensity early on. "We came out flat in the first half against N/V.
