Bobcat football game thread:

Bobcats defeat Elkhorn Valley 24-6 to finish their regular season 6-2. Bobcats will await their playoff opponent next week.

Bobcats with a methodical drive ending with a Ethan Kester 4-yard BOBCAT TOUCHDOWN! PAT by McAllister is good. 24-6 Bobcats lead with 6:30 to play. Kester currently has rushed for 97 yards.

We've played 3 quarters. Bobcats lead the Falcons 17-6.

McAllister lines up for a 39 yard field goal AND IT'S GOOD! Bobcats extend their lead to 17-6 with 7:31 to go in the 3Q.

Halftime score from Summerland: Bobcats 14 Falcons 6. Bobcats will receive the second half kickoff.

Ethan Kester goes rumbling down the left side breaking multiple tackles for a 39 yard BOBCAT TOUCHDOWN! PAT is good by McAllister. 14-6 Bobcats lead EV with 6:29 to go in the half.

Jarrett Werner takes it in for a Falcon touchdown. Conversion fails. Bobcats lead Elkhorn Valley 7-6 with 11:54 to go in the half.

Bobcats fumble on a punt return giving the Falcons favorable field position. End of 1Q Summerland still leads 7-0 but EV is in the red zone.
