The Flippin Bobcats will challenge the Cotter Warriors at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
Flippin is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Monday. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past Shirley 8-7. The win was some much needed relief for the Bobcats as it spelled an end to their five-game losing streak dating back to last season.
