The Lady Bobcats (2-1) treated fans to a show Tuesday in their home opener triangular at Arnold with an easy win 2-0 over Mullen and an exciting victory over rivals Anselmo-Merna 2-0.
“Tuesday was a great night for the team as a whole,” said head coach Desiree Guthrie. “Everyone got a chance to see the floor and get some great touches on the ball.”
It was all South Loup the first set against Mullen with a final score of 25-7. The Lady Bobcats ran away with the lead early in the set with a 15-4 lead over the Broncos.
