The 2025 football season for the South Loup Bobcats kicks off tonight, Aug. 28, as the team travels out west to Hemingford for an 8 p.m. CST contest. The Bobcats are under the leadership of Mat Jageler, who is in his 25th year of coaching - the past seven years as head coach for South Loup.

The South Loup cross country team has its first meet of the 2025 season today, Aug. 28; however, most of the student athletes have been conditioning all summer.

The Lady Bobcats open the 2025 volleyball season next week as they host a triangular with Mullen and Anselmo-Merna in Arnold on Tuesday, Sept. 2.

Karsyn Chesley of Harrisburg is the Nebraska High School Rodeo State Light Rifle Champion, earning this honor at the state finals competition held in Valentine in June. The top honors earned her belt buckles, a Yeti cooler and a trophy saddle plus the right to compete in the National High School Rodeo Finals in Rock Springs, Wyoming in July where she finished 38th out of 145 competitors.

It’s that time of year again. The season when the sound of racing engines and the smell of rubber burning out on concrete fills the Seven Valleys air for a weekend.
