Weekend Local Sports Wrap-Up Oct. 15-16, 2021

Bronc Football – Colson Coon scored 4 touchdown on Friday night (October 15th) to help the Sheridan Broncs win at Campbell County 38-7 and improve the teams record to 7-1.

The regular season concludes this Friday at Thunder Basin at 6pm.

A Sheridan win would assure the Broncs no worse than the #2 seed for the playoffs, and that means the Broncs would play at home in both the first round and the semi-finals.

Big Horn-Tongue River Football: Garrett Ostler caught all 3 touchdown passes for Tongue River, as well as the winning 2-point conversion with 59.7 seconds to go, as the Eagles defeated Big Horn 22-21.

In the process, TR would snap a 10-game losing streak to the Rams, and win the Thunder Bowl for the first time since 2006.

Ostler says the first half of the game wasn’t all that great, but that was to be expected.

Trailing 21-to 14 in the 4th quarter, and with time becoming a factor, Tongue River had to go for it, on 4th and 7 from their own 36.

Ostler says he knew what the play was, but he didn’t think he was going to end up scoring a touchdown.

The Eagles initially scored on the 2-point conversion afterwards, but that play was called back on a holding call against Ostler.

After being backed up 10 yards, they rolled the dice and tried for 2 again, and their gamble paid off.

Ostler says the play wasn’t supposed to go to him, but he was open when the team realized the initial plan wasn’t going to work.

With the win, Tongue River’s record is now 3-4, and they still have a small chance to make the playoffs.

First they have to win this Friday (October 22nd) at Glenrock, which kicksoff at 6pm, and then get some help.

Meanwhile, Big Horn is now 4-3, and play their home finale this Friday at 1pm at home vs. Upton-Sundance.

A Ram win would get them into the playoffs.
