Sheridan HS Football: While fans and the media may like to talk about it and it may be fun to think about, there’s a particular topic that’s off limits for the Sheridan Bronc Football Team.

Going into this season, the team has won 31 games in a row, which is currently the second longest winning streak in Wyoming High School football history.

The record is 34 set by Laramie in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s.

Bronc Head Coach Jeff Mowry says talking about the streak amongst the team is one of those unwritten rules in sports.

Speaking of streaks, Sheridan’s first opponent is Cheyenne South, which is currently riding a 38-game skid, and that ties the record for longest losing streak in state history.

The 2024 season kicks off 2 weeks from today.

Sheridan HS Golf: Sheridan competed at the weather shortened Powell Invitational yesterday.
