Sheridan HS Football: For the 7th time in 8 years, the Sheridan High School Football Team is going to Laramie to try to win a state championship.
This past Saturday the Broncs won at home in their semifinal matchup vs. Natrona County 24-8.
Head Coach Jeff Mowry says the running game and offensive line did great in the first half, but not so well in the second half, and he takes the blame for that.
On the up side, it didn’t hurt much.

Back on Friday, the Rams trailed at home vs. Lovell 25-14 early in the 3rd quarter in the 2A semifinals, then took control from there and went on to win 35-25.

Big Horn HS Volleyball: For the 2nd year in a row and for the 3rd time in 4 years, the Lady Rams are the queens of the 2A volleyball court.
At the State Tournament in Casper this past weekend, the Lady Rams swept Big Piney in the first round, beat Pine Bluffs 3-1 in the semi-finals, and that would put them in the championship match vs. Tongue River.
The Lady Eagles would win the first set, but then BH would storm back to win the last 3 to claim the crown.
Senior Emme Mullinax says even though this was the 4th time that her team has played TR this season, she knew there was a mental advantage.
