“The intensity on the field was awesome. We all came out strong and ready to take on Patterson Mill and the fact we won really made the night better, considering it was senior night and beating a county rival. I could not have asked for anything better. We played amazing as a team,” said Senior goalie Lucky Loughlin.

“It was such an intense, upbeat game. There’s always the cross town rivalry with Patterson Mill which added to the intensity,” said Senior Cassidy Jones. “The stadium looked awesome decorated for our senior night which motivated us and drove the Seniors especially play well. It was a tough battle on both ends of the field, but the better team came out on top which was us making the night so much greater for me and the rest of the Seniors on Senior Night.”

The Bobcats will play next on April 29 against Harford Technical High School. Come out and show your Bobcat Pride!
