WAMPUS CAT BOYS — SEASON RECAP The 2026 season has come to an end and we couldn’t be more proud of this group. 7th Place — 6A State Tournament 3rd Place — 6A Central Conference Laken put together an incredible couple of days at State, finishing tied for 3rd and earning All-State honors. He battled through a two-hole playoff for a spot in the Arkansas overall tournament, and although the result wasn’t what we hoped for, his performance was something to be proud of. More importantly, we’re proud of this entire team. From the first tournament to the final putt, these guys showed grit, character, determination, and a willingness to compete. They represented Conway High School and Wampus Cat Golf the right way all season long. Thank you to everyone who supported these guys throughout the season. Proud of this team. Proud to be Wampus Cats!
