The Bearcat boys were a bit shorthanded on Thursday, missing Wyatt Dose and Porter Dose due to illness so it was all hands on deck for the Bearcats. The Beaarcats hung tough in the first quarter but had a hard time defending 6’6″ Junior Grady Bresson, who had 20 points for the Bobcats. Maddox Regier had a strong performance, putting up 10 of his 18 points in the second quarter. The tight Bobcat defense made it difficult for the Bearcats to put up a shot in the third quarter when they fell behind 58-33. After the win, the EMF Bobcats are 13-4, and the Bearcats are 5-10.
