NHS Bobcats Tame Jaguars on Homecoming Nite
The Newcastle High School Bobcats hosted the Guthrie Jaguars for their Homecoming game and buried the Jaguars under the stadium, 50-0. The Bobcats ended the game after the first half, making way for the crowning of the HOCO Hero and HOCO Queen.
The Texas Six-Man Mercy Rule ends the game if one team leads by 45 points or more at halftime or during the second half, which isn’t that uncommon in six-man football where scores can quickly build up to 40 or 50 points in just one half of a game. It is one of the aspects of the fastpaced style of six-man that make it so exciting to watch.
This year’s HOCO Noms for Hero: Cooper Clayton, Rylan Hinojosa, Keegen Voyles and Keyton Newland. HOCO Queen Noms: Rae’Lyn Bennett, Camren Mallory, Kenzie King, and Kinzee Forbus. Court: Brentley Campbell and Kirby Chenault, accompanied by the NHS 2025-26 HOCO Queen, Flor Carranza. Your 2026-27 HOCO Hero and Queen, Keegan Voyles and Camren Mallory, were presented and crowned before family, friends, Newcastle ISD faculty, and the community who packed the stands for the blowout game and HOCO festivities.
Congratulat i ons ! Fight on Bobcats!
