Sheridan High School Volleyball: The Sheridan Lady Broncs start a 3-game road trip today.

They will play Green River in Casper at Natrona County high School.

Tomorrow they play at Cheyenne Central and then Saturday at Cheyenne East.

Sheridan County High School Football: Along the lines of Cheyenne East, the Thunderbirds are in town tomorrow for the undefeated showdown vs. the Sheridan Bronc football team.

East is the only team that beat Sheridan last year.

It’s a homecoming of sorts for Senior Dominic Kaszas who played for the Broncs the past 3 years, but this year he plays for the opposition, as a result of his family moving to Cheyenne.

This season he has scored 9 touchdowns…2 of them rushing, 5 of them receiving and 2 on punt returns…and is averaging about 125 all-purpose yards per game.

Sheridan Head Coach Jeff Mowry says although the play calling has changed between then and now, Kaszas still know some things about the Broncs, but the blue and gold can’t focus on him only.

“He has some local knowledge of what we’ve done and our schemes and things like that, so we’ve got to be aware of that. He’s going to play his game, and we have to play our game and it’s a Thunderbird vs. Bronc matchup and I talked to our guys. It’s not about an individual matchup. It’s about us vs. the T-Birds and the T-Birds have been a great team for the last few years.”

We will have the game live for you beginning with the pre-game show at about 5:30, on AM 1410 KWYO and 106.9 FM plus our live video web stream at sheridanmedia.com.

Kickoff is scheduled for 6pm.
