Sheridan HS Basketball Players Named All-Conference/All-State: Three Sheridan Broncs and two Lady Bronc basketball players received post-season recognition from the Wyoming Coaches Association and from 4A East Coaches.

For the boys Truman DeGrange, Cael Hamrick, and Garrett Spielman were named 4A East All-Conference, while Hamrick and Spielman also received all-state honors.

Hamrick is now a 2-time all-state selection.

For the girls, Adeline Burgess and Mesa Hanft were named both all-conference and all-state.

Sheridan HS Girls Basketball Team finally beat Campbell County: It took 4 tries, but the Sheridan Lady Bronc Basketball team finally figured out how to beat Campbell County, and the result was a state championship.

The Lady Broncs lost at Campbell County in the first quadrant game of the season in middle January, lost to the Lady Camels at home one month later, and 2 weeks after that, they lost at home again in the regional championship game.

Junior Avery McMullen says a lot was learned in those 3 losses and on the 4th try, Sheridan finally got it right.

Senior Alli Ligocki says looking at where teams ended up in the bracket before the state tournament started, and how it all eventually played out, losing that regional championship game vs. Campbell County might have been a blessing in disguise.

Sheridan finished the season with a record of 21-6.

Changes In Outdoor Track and Field and Boys Soccer Schedule: The Wyoming High School Spring Sports season starts this weekend and there’s been a few changes to the schedule.

Saturday’s boys soccer game start times have been moved up 1 hour.
