Bearcat fans: Let’s fill the fan buses and pack the gym to support our Bearcat boys basketball team in the Sodak 16! Free ride, free admission, free pizza and water for students riding the fan bus! Thank you to some very generous donors for making this experience come together! The bus is available for students in 4th grade and above unless accompanied by a parent/guardian. Each bus will have adult chaperones. It will take off from the Armory at 4:30 and return approximately 2 hours after the conclusion of the game. We will have a pep rally at the Armory at 2:30 for all Bearcats staff and students, as well as any community members! The team bus will leave from the Armory at 3:30 and head south down Main Street for anyone that would like to line the streets and send them off with a roar! Game time is 7pm at Madison High School and we are the second game of the night so the doors will be open when you get there. Good luck Cats!!

It was a busy weekend for the Bearcat wrestling teams at the state tournament in Sioux Falls.

-Haeden Jorgenson captured a 2nd place finish - this was Haeden's fifth state tournament and fourth 2nd place finish! Congratulations on an AMAZING wrestling career, you've made Bearcat Nation proud!!

-Congratulations also to Coach Wade Rausch on receiving his 25-year coaching award. Coach Rausch is retiring after over 30 years in coaching!

-Former Bearcat standout wrestler Logan Storley was inducted in to the South Dakota Wrestling Hall of Fame at the tournament as well. Logan was one of the best wrestlers in state history and he has certainly left his mark on the sport!
