Hope- This game did not go the way the Bobcats envisioned it going, as the defending state champion Leopards came to town on Tuesday night for a conference matchup, and left with a crucial 3-0 victory. The first 20 minutes of the game, the Bobcats really controlled the tempo of the game, but a nice header for the Leopards put DeQueen up 1-0 before halftime. The Leopards would extend their lead to 2-0 and shortly after made it 3-0, as Hope dropped a tough game to DeQueen. Hope was a little banged up entering the game, but the offensive attack had a hard time getting into a flow, as they struggled to get the ball into the box and really challenge the Leopard defense. This was definitely not the best performance from the Bobcats, but they will get a chance to avenge their lone loss of the season in a few weeks as they will travel to DeQueen on April 25. 

The Bobcats are back in action on Friday as they host Arkadelphia.
