A big congratulations goes out to the Bearcats who took home the Regional Consolation trophy last Saturday night eliminating #17th ranked Hammon. They played at Noble on Thursday, 2/22, against Battiest. Unfortunately, this column is sent off before I know the outcome of that game. So, by Wednesday, which is 2/28, I am hoping Erick won that game and if so, congratulations on the win! If not, they have had an outstanding season, and honored the memory of our sweet Carsen Perry throughout their entire season. There is so much love on that team, and we are all so proud of the kind and compassionate guys they are! Way to make Erick proud, boys!
