Four Bobcats from the Hot Springs Coun-
ty High School golf team went to the Cody
Invitational on Friday, as the Douglas tour-
nament was full.
Hudson Rolling scored 76, Logan Bar-
tholomew scored 116, Colton Dobbins scored
96 and Justin Jeffs scored 106.
Coach Jake Smith said Hudson keeps get-
ting better at each game.
“Hudson’s hard work and extra time spent
outside of practice are continuing to pay div-
idends as he plays better and better each
week,” Smith said. “He is focused and looks
to be one of the top 3A golfers in the fall.”
Smith said Colton shot a career low and
is the same bright freshman prospect he
was in the fall.
“His positive attitude and desire to im-
prove will make him contender in the fall,”
he said.

the team hopes to court away from football
in the fall, Smith said.
“Logan is struggling to get his game where
he wants it, but is working hard to get back
down to the 80s where he is capable of play-
ing,” he said.
This week the Bobcat golf team heads to
the Powell Invite on Friday.
