Wyoming Shrine Bowl Football Game: Practice for the Shrine Bowl Football Game in Casper is underway and players from Sheridan County High Schools are trying to do their part to contribute to the North team.

Both teams are having 2-a-day practices, but with only one week to prepare for the game, that limits the amount of time that players have to develop some kind of playbook.

Bridger Peldo of Sheridan says he’s grateful that the coaching staff knows what they’re doing.

Will Taylor of Big Horn says don’t expect the North to try much out of the ordinary, when it comes to play calling and that his team-mates have the talent to get the job done.

Quarterback Ty Gilbertson of Sheridan says the North players need to stay disciplined this week in practice. 

There has been one change to the roster.

Avon Barney of Big Horn has elected not to play in the game and has been replaced with Ram team-mate Owen Petty.

The 52nd annual Wyoming Shrine Bowl football game will kickoff at 2pm this Saturday from Natrona County High School.
