[edit] Athletics

Hinsdale Central School's mascot is the Bobcat. The women's teams, much like many other schools, implements 'Lady' into their name and thus are known as the Lady Bobcats.

The school's football team program was cancelled prior to the 1997 season due to a loss in numbers. The program officially re-started in 2006, with the return of local football coach legend Rod Rohl. However, with the inexperience of the team, they only posted a 1-7 record. Their lone win came in Week One against their New York State Route 16 rival, the Archbishop Walsh Eagles. However, the team would do much better in their second season, in 2007. The Bobcats went on the sectional finals, only to lose to the Portville Panthers. However, they stayed in the Class DD playoffs, and played in Jamestown against the Pine Valley Panthers. They lost, and were runners-up in the 2007 Class DD.

Football was not the only program to struggle with numbers in recent Bobcat history. The school's soccer program also had faltering numbers in previous years, able the barely field a team for the 2007 campaign. They were coached by Chuck Massaro. The team was winless in this season, and are expected to struggle again with numbers in 2008.
