Sheridan HS Football: Practice continues for the Sheridan Bronc Football Team and now players get to hit someone or something.

Today is the first day that they can put on the pads.

The Broncs are the 3-time defending 4A State Champs, and as usual they’ll get every opponent’s best shot.

Buffalo HS Grad Chris Prosinski Looks Back At His Youth Football Days: When it comes to football, you don’t always need the pads and the playbook to get out and enjoy the game.

Earlier this week, Buffalo High School grad and former UW Cowboy Football and NFL Player Chris Prosinski put on a 1-day camp to teach youngsters in grades 1-8 some of the basic techniques of the game.

Growing up Prosinski says his elementary and middle school football days, whether it was the backyard game, or some youth camp, those days were what helped build the foundation of his future success.

Prosinski graduated from Buffalo HS in 2006 and helped the Bison win 2 football state championships.
