Cats fall to the Lakeside Rams in Hot Springs Friday night 69 to 14

HOT SPRINGS – The Bobcats traveled to Hot Springs to play the top 10 ranked Lakeside Rams for Homecoming Friday night.

The game started much like last week’s game with the Parkview Patriots as the Rams outscored the Cats 43-0 in the first quarter. Lakeside scored on six straight possessions, 4 via pass and 2 rushing touchdowns. A Bobcat penalty moved the ball to the 1-1/2-yard line where the Rams decided on a 2-point conversion attempt and succeeded making the score 43 – 0 Rams.

The 2nd Quarter started with another rushing TD from 1 yd out but the extra point was blocked by Trey Hoglund.

On the ensuing kick-off, with 8:05 time on the clock, Noah Cheatham ran the kick-off back for an 88 yd Touchdown for the Cats cutting the lead to 56 – 7

With :50 seconds left in the 2nd quarter, he Rams scored another passing TD but the conversion was no good making the halftime score 62-14.

The first half alone lasted nearly 2 hours.

The second half game clock ran constantly due to the Mercy Rule speeding up play causing the half to last just over 30 minutes.

The only score in the second half was a 2-yard rushing TD by the Rams with the successful extra point, closing out the final score of 69 to 14 Lakeside.

The Bobcats will return home to Hammons stadium hosting the Camden-Fairview Cardinals next Friday night.
