Sheridan/Big Horn/Tongue River HS Football Recaps: The Sheridan Bronc Football team have put themselves into the history books.
This past Friday, the team won at Natrona 29-7, to win their 34th straight game, which ties the record for the longest winning streak in Wyoming High School Football history.
Sheridan ran the opening kickoff back for a touchdown and led 6-nothing after 1 quarter.
Natrona would score on the first play of the second quarter to go ahead 7-6, but the Broncs didn’t stay down long as the team would dominate the rest of the quarter, and took a 29-7 lead into halftime.
Neither team scored in the second half as Sheridan would pick up the W.
Head Coach Jeff Mowry says there were some mistakes made, and the Mustangs defense kept changing things up, which led to times when the Broncs did not adjust accordingly.

It just so happens, the Thunderbirds were the last team to beat the Broncs, back in 2021.
Kickoff is scheduled for 6pm.
