Sheridan HS Softball: The Sheridan High School softball team will make their season debut today and tomorrow against various opponents in Cheyenne.
The Lady Broncs are one of 3 new teams in the state this season, with the other 2 being Jackson and Torrington.

Sheridan HS Soccer: Sheridan will host 3A Worland for a girls and boys double-header beginning at 3pm.
The Broncs have finished 3rd in each of the past 2 seasons.
Head Coach Wade Kinsey says this year’s team did not lose much to graduation and the players are ready to get past what they call a road block.
Meanwhile the Sheridan girls missed last year’s state tournament.
The Lady Broncs graduated 7 players but are trying to make up for it, by having more players come out for the team this time around.
Head Coach Josh Dube says since today’s game is a non-conference contest, it’s a great way for the team to feel things out and see what works, and what doesn’t.
