The South Loup Bobcats boy's basketball team finished their regular season strong with a decisive 6242 victory over the Sumner-Eddyville-Miller Mustangs on Feb. 21. A buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Conner Paulsen at the end of the first half set the tone for the Bobcats, who maintained their lead for the remainder of the game South Loup senior AJ Starr set the tone right from the start, sinking a 3-point shot just as the shot clock expired to put the Bobcats on the board. The team continued to push offensively, holding a narrow 12-10 lead after the first quarter.

As we ring in a new year, we at the Courier wanted to take a moment to remind you of some of the stories that made our headlines in 2024. Last week we reflected back on the first half of 2024, and we will conclude our look back in this week’s edition.

South Loup has gone 9-1 against Brady recently and the Bobcats looked to pad the win column further on Friday, Dec. 27. The two teams rounded out the year against one another at the holiday tournament in Maxwell, where the Bobcats were once again victorious.
