The Big Horn boys are the defending 2A State Champs and Coach Kirk McLaughlin says the Rams have the numbers and experience to repeat, which is usually a helpful combination for the smaller schools.

What’s also helping their cause is Gavin Stafford who is arguably the fastest in the state in the 100 meter dash and he’s a pretty good long jumper as well.

BH and TR are next scheduled to compete tomorrow at Gillette.

Sheridan is scheduled to compete today at Cody, while Arvada-Clearmont will compete tomorrow at Kaycee.
