Sheridan HS Basketball: The Sheridan girls team was missing a major piece of their offense this past weekend, when freshman Mesa Hanft came down with the flu and did not make the trip to Cheyenne East and Cheyenne Central.
As a result the Lady Broncs only put up 33 and 34 points respectively, which was way below their season average of 55.
Head Coach Ryan Sullivan says there were a number of other things that went wrong as well, but thankfully those 2 games were non-quadrant games and they can use this weekend’s games to put things back together.
The Sheridan boys and girls play tomorrow at home vs. Cheyenne South and on Saturday at home vs. Laramie.

Colter Hanft has signed his National Letter of Intent (NLI) to play football for the Chadron State College Eagle Football Team.
This past season offensively, he ran for 142 yards and scored 3 touchdowns.
He also caught 32 passes for 405 yards and made his way to the end zone 5 times.
Defensively, Hanft led Class 2A in both defensive points with 143, and in tackles with 75.
He had 8 1/2 tackles for a loss, 3 sacks, forced and recovered 1 fumble, broke up 2 passes, had 1 interception and scored one defensive touchdown.
The senior says he has already been to Chadron State a few times for football camps, so he’s familiar with the area and he also tries to explain what he thinks the football coaches saw in him.

He is considering majoring in ag business.
