Live Streaming in 2022-2023

The Benton Activities Department continues to seek ways to provide more opportunities for Bobcat Fans across the country to watch our events. We have purchased a Hudl Focus camera to show events at our stadium and in the gymnasium. All events at those locations will be able to be live streamed. This would be a great opportunity for out of town/state relatives to be able to watch their favorite Benton Bobcat! All our live streams can be watched on our YouTube Channel by searching "Bobcat Cast" on YouTube or by clicking here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz-b1rPJ2V2UAJIvjKeq_8Q/featured
