After football season, schools move into basketball season; so is Thayer, Missouri. Both the boys’ and girls’ teams will have tough opponents this year, but both teams come off great seasons from last year. Here’s the Thayer Bobcats 2023-2024 boys and girls basketball schedules.
Boys [1]
Last year, the boys team placed third in state after an overtime loss to Lutheran North. They had no seniors on the team, which means that they will be ready for the season. Multiple key players will be back this year, including Aidan Burns, Mark and Rowan Spencer, Devin Harrington, Easton Pitts, Brandon Prince, and Cooper Clark. [2]
