Mar 12 2033: Cinderella Season Over - Lockwood Gives His All - by bobcats50 on July 20th, 2023

It started rough! Bates started 6-14 under a bot coach, at the bottom of the pack.

Mr Bobcat took the reins, hired a new HC, and the team went 12-6 under his tutelage, finishing just outside promotion, and winning two conference playoff games before falling in a close game to Wheaton. In the Wheaton game, Lockwood gave it his all in what would end up being the last game he played that mattered - he ended up with a 10 day injury due to his efforts, but finished his Bates career putting up 30 points, 15 rebounds, and 3 blocks, with 7 fouls drawn.

Overall, possibly a disappointing team end for Lockwood, who most likely secured All-Conference honors, and will end his college basketball career securing the #2 All-Time Conference season total for Rebounds at 394 (he is also 14th All-Time Conference for career rebounds with 1023)
while putting up 63 blocks in conference games, which ties for the 2nd most All-Time Conference.

For Bates, Lockwood will retire #4 All-Time for career Rebounds (1413) and #1 all-time for rebounds in a single season (576) along with the #1 All-time school mark for single season blocks (88) and 6th all-time school mark for career blocks (203) - his 30 Player of The Game awards also tie him for 2nd in school history.


Feb 24 2033: LIKE A PHOENIX - by bobcats50 on July 14th, 2023

LIKE A PHOENIX THE BOBCATS RISE. Who can stop us? And by us, I mean Lockwood?

Bates started 5-13 under a bot president. We have gone 12-7 since, and won 7 of the last 10. If we win our last 3, we may just make promotion.

Unrelated, accusations that we put laxatives in the snack-shack offerings to visiting teams and fans are untruthful and hurtful.


Jan 22 2033: Unstoppable Lockwood - by bobcats50 on July 5th, 2023

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

From the Desk of Mr. Bobcat:

Have you seen this Lockwood guy? It's nice that Player of the Games are handed out to others so they don't feel bad. Mateo's 20 points were nice, but there was a reason he immediately handed the Game Ball to Lockwood with his 15 points, 18 rebounds, and 2 blocks.

Through 18 conference games the young man is #1 in the conference for rebounds and blocks per game, and has the most POTG awards.

Now he will try to lead the team to make up a late season 4 game deficit to try to make the promotion pool!
