The Marshalltown Bobcat Boys tennis team faced off against the Ames Little Cyclones yesterday. They had a lot to battle for, it is their Highway 30 Rival, the Boys had yet to lose this season, and the winner of this match would be the Iowa Alliance Conference North Champions. The Bobcats, who are ranked 9th in the state, put it all on the line and came up just short in a few contests dropping the match to Ames 9 – 2. Ames struck first by winning 5 of the 6 single contests putting a lot of pressure on the Bobcat double teams. The Bobcats have now finished the regular season and will have post season play on Wednesday next week.

The Bobcat girls golf team travel south yesterday morning to Copper Creek Golf Course for the Southeast Polk Invite. No surprise to Bobcat fans, Natalie Henson was the medalist for this event as she shot a 1 under par, 70. That helped the Bobcats earn 4th place overall with a team score of 341. Gilbert was the top team with a team score of 322. The next tournament for the Bobcats will be on Monday when they head to the Waukee Invite at the Des Moines Golf and Country Club.
