Sheridan HS Girls Basketball: The Sheridan Lady bronc basketball team went 4-0 this past weekend in Riverton outscoring their opponents by a combined score of 236-114.

Coach Ryan Sullivan says even though the final scores looked good, it was only the opening weekend of the season, and there’s things to work on.

The Lady Broncs have a gauntlet run this weekend.

On Friday, they host Buffalo, who are last season’s 3A State Runners-Up.

Then on Saturday they visit Cody who are the defending 4A State champs.

Meanwhile the boys will play both the Bison and Cody on the road.

On Friday, the Rams, Eagles, Lady Rams and Lady Eagles will play twice.

On Saturday, the Eagles and Lady Eagles will play Wind River at 11am, while the Rams and Lady Rams play Big Piney.

Arvada-Clearmont HS Basketball: We were able to verify that the girls did beat Meeteetse this past weekend, so they are 1-1 so far this season.

This Friday, A-C is scheduled to play at Ten Sleep, although there is some question as to whether the Lady Pioneers have a team or not, so the road trip might be for the boys only.

Alli Ligocki Signs Basketball NLI At Montana State Billings: The season just started and one Sheridan High School player doesn’t have to worry if her senior season will impact college recruiters.

Alli Ligocki has signed her National Letter of Intent (NLI) to play basketball at Montana State Billings.

Last year she was an all-state selection, averaging 8.6 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, while shooting 49% on the season.

Ligocki says the Lady Yellowjacket coaches saw something in her that they liked, and in turn, she saw something in the program that interested her, thus it was a good fit.

Ligocki adds she had also been considering Miles Community College in Montana and North Idaho College.

She is considering majoring in either criminal justice or english.
