Sheridan HS Softball: The Sheridan High School softball team went 2-1 with 1 tie in their opening weekend of games this past weekend in Cheyenne.
In 3 of their games, the Lady Broncs jumped on their opponents early, which is different from last year when most of the time, they were in comeback mode.
Head Coach Kristen Czaban says the change in offensive strategy has its pros and cons.
A different downside to the strategy showed up in the loss to Rock Springs and in the tie to Laramie.
In the latter, Sheridan had a 10-1 lead and lost it.
The Lady Broncs start Northeast quadrant play this weekend, with their home opener on Friday vs. Thunder Basin, and a trip to Campbell County on Saturday.
University of Wyoming Spring Football: The Wyoming Cowboys held their first spring practice yesterday in Laramie.
One of the strengths of last year’s team was the defense which was the 3rd best in the Mountain West Conference against the pass, which also was ranked 14th in the nation and was the 3rd best when it came to giving up points, but was the 2nd best nationally in the red zone.
The D also was 17th best nationally at giving up first downs.
Head Coach Jay Sawvel says he’s optimistic that things can be even better this year.
The annual spring game is scheduled for April 25th.
