Lady Cats fall to Worland Saturday
by Cindy Glasson
The Lady Bobcat basketball
team took on age-old rival Wor-
land on Saturday night and de-
spite their best efforts, lost to the
Lady Warriors (score ???).
They fought and mounted an
impressive second half comeback.
They trailed by 15 points in the
third quarter, but closed the gap
to within two with about a min-
ute left in the game.
Worland sealed the game with
some clutch free throws and some
sostly turnover stalled the come-
back by the Lady Cats.
