Sheridan Broncs Football: Practice continues for the Sheridan Bronc football team as players work on technique and light contact drills.

Things will get a little more interesting tomorrow, when they can put the pads on.

Head Coach Jeff Mowry says he along with the rest of the coaches are trying to figure out what kind of talent and skill they have to work with, before a game plan can be put together.

Senior Kelten Crow says players on this year’s team are well aware of what talent was lost to graduation and the plan this year is to put their own identity together.

The season for the Broncs starts on Friday, August 30th at home vs. Cheyenne South.

Chris Prosinski Football Camp At Buffalo: Some youngsters recently learned how a pro gets the job done.

More than 100 kids showed up at Clear Creek Middle School in Buffalo for a 1-day football camp, put on by Buffalo High School grad, as well as former University of Wyoming and NFL Football player Chris Prosinski.

When it comes to learning lessons about football or any other sport, coaches may preach the same lessons over and over again, but Prosinski says sometimes a pro can offer a different perspective on a lesson, and that different perspective could be all that’s needed to get the lesson to stick in an athlete’s head.

Prosinski spent his professional career playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Chicago Bears.
