Tongue River and Big Horn Boys Basketball Teams To Play Each Other In 2023 Semi-Finals

Third time’s the charm, or it will at least settle things for awhile.

Tongue River took care of business against Shoshoni, and Big Horn eventually pulled away from Greybull in the first round of the 2023 Wyoming High School 2A Boys Basketball State Tournament, to set up a semi-final clash vs. each other on Friday, March 3rd at 7:30pm at the Ford Wyoming Center in Casper.

The Eagles and Rams split head-to-head games this season.

BH’s OT win in early February enabled to the Rams to snap a 6-game skid vs. the Eagles, but there’s been debate as to whether the game winning shot was good.
