Sheridan HS Volleyball Places 3rd At State Tournament: The Sheridan High School Volleyball team not only qualified for their first state tournament since 2016, the girls brought home a trophy.

The Lady Broncs won their 4A opening round match vs. Green River 3-2, then lost in the semi-finals vs. Laramie 3-1.

In the consolation round on Saturday, Sheridan swept both Cheyenne East and Thunder Basin to claim the 4A 3rd Place trophy.

Senior Naomi Andersen says the season didn’t get off to a great start at both the Cheyenne and Gillette Invitationals, but as the girls got into the conference portion of their schedule and they weren’t playing as many games each week, things started to come together.

Senior Kailee Holst says the Lady Broncs just had to play more like a team.

Sheridan finished the season with a record of 23-14, which is their best record since 2015.
