Sheridan HS Soccer: The Sheridan Boys Soccer team hosts undefeated Cheyenne Central today at 6pm and will host Cheyenne East tomorrow at 12-noon.

When the Broncs last played those 2 teams 3 weeks ago at Cheyenne, the team was not at full strength, but they will be the second time around.

Head Coach Wade Kinsey says the opposition will be aware of that fact, and Sheridan may show them a new thing or two.

The Lady Broncs will play at Cheyenne Central today at 6pm and tomorrow at Cheyenne East at 9am.

Sheridan beat those 2 teams last time, and after that, the teams’ offense took a week off.

Head Coach Josh Dube says despite splitting their 2 games last week, it looks like the girls have found ways to score goals again and found something else, which was not necessarily a bad thing.

The Lady Broncs will have to contend more with the rain than the boys will have to, as an approaching storm system is passing through the southern part of the state.
