Due to low numbers and injuries, the Bobcat football schedule must be altered once again. The game on Friday in Ransom against Northern Valley will be played at the regular time but the contest will be classified as a junior varsity match. The Bobcats look to field ten players, half of which will be freshman. The boys have put up a valiant effort this season against incredible odds. Many of the players were unable to leave the field due to a lack of substitutes. Freshman have filled key positions all season. This will be valuable experience for the future of the program but it put the Bobcats at an obvious disadvantage on the field. Friday will be the only junior varsity game of the year
The football game against Palco scheduled for October 28 has been canceled. All efforts will be made to insure the football season next year will protected. Western Plains is in negotiations for potential cooperative agreements to solidify our numbers. We are confident that something will be worked out so that an entire schedule will be played next year and adequate numbers will be available for substitutes.
Come support the boys as they conclude their season on Friday, October 22.
