Morning Sports: August 13, 2024

The Sheridan Bronc football team is now saddling up for the 2024 season.

The team started practice yesterday and for this week, players will have 2-a-days between now and Friday, and one practice on Saturday morning.

Sheridan lost a lot of big names due to graduation and some numbers as well.

Head Coach Jeff Mowry says there some experienced players that can fill some of those voids and others that will have to learn quickly.

That one starter from last year’s championship game is lineman Bridger Peldo.

He says during the off-season the one thing he’s seen from those that want to play this season, is a lot of eagerness.

Players can put the pads on for the first time on Thursday.

Buffalo Football Camp Featuring Chris Prosinski: Youngsters who are still learning the game, can learn from a former pro.

Today is the 1-day football camp that’s being put on by the Boys and Girls Club of the Bighorns and by Buffalo High School grad, as well as former University of Wyoming Football Cowboy and former NFL player Chris Prosinski.

The camp will take place at Clear Creek Middle School in Buffalo.

Prosinski explains some of the things that youngsters will learn at the camp.

The camp will run from 9 until 11am for those in 1st through 5th grade and from noon until 2pm for those in grades 6 through 8.

Sheridan is scheduled to compete at a 2-day meet tomorrow and Thursday at Powell.

Last year the Sheridan boys placed 3rd at the state meet and the girls were 5th.

The Broncs and Lady Broncs will host their home opener next week Monday vs. both Cheyenne East and Cheyenne Central.

Colorado Rockies Baseball: The Colorado Rockies lost 5-4 last night in the opener of their 3-game series at Arizona.

Brendan Rodgers hit a solo home run to help the cause, but the Rocks bullpen allowed 2 runs to score off of wild pitches in the 7th inning and that made the difference.

Today’s game is scheduled to start at 7:40pm.
