Sheridan HS Basketball: The Sheridan boys and girls were each down 1 key player in their weekend games at Cheyenne East and at Cheyenne Central.
The Broncs and Lady Broncs dropped both of their respective games, but on the flip side it doesn’t count on their quadrant records and both teams should be at full strength when they see them again at the regional tournament, which Sheridan is hosting.
Sheridan plays at home this coming Friday and Saturday vs. Cheyenne South and Laramie respectively.

Sheridan County HS Wrestling: Sheridan hosted duals vs. Cheyenne East, Cheyenne Central, Cheyenne South and Laramie.
The boys won all 4 duals, while the girls lost the first 2 and won the other 2.
The Lady Broncs actually won a large majority of the matches that they competed in, in the losses to East and Central, it was just that they had too many open weight classes, which they had to forfeit and that turned into a lot of points for the opposition.
Sheridan will wrestle in its home finale this Thursday vs. Campbell County.
Meanwhile, Tongue River competed at a tournament on Saturday at Greybull.
They will next compete at the 2A Conference Dual Meet on Thursday at Sundance.
