Morning Sports: May 14, 2024

The Wyoming High School Spring Sports Season concludes this weekend.

State Soccer: The 4A State Tournament will be played at Rock Springs, while the 3A State Tournament will be held at Green River.

The Sheridan boys are the #2 seed from the East and Rock Springs is the #3 seed out of the west, thus the 2 teams will play each other in the first round on Thursday at 11am.

Broncs Head Coach Wade Kinsey says Sheridan hardly ever gets a chance to play teams from the west outside of the state tournament, and when the team learned they were playing the hosts in the first round, the boys were not that concerned.

The Buffalo boys and girls also made it to the state tournament.

The Bison play the host team, Green River at 4pm, while the Lady Bison take on Lander at 2pm.

Sheridan County HS Track and Field: The State Track and Field meet is this Thursday thru Saturday at Casper.
