WORLAND – Wyoming Senate File 61, a bill which would allow hunters in Wyoming the choice to wear either fluorescent orange or fluorescent pink passed third reading in the House Friday on a 39-21 vote. Rep. Mike Greear (R-Worland) stated that the bill wasn’t very popular with quite a few people, including himself. He felt that it was an inappropriate bill to be discussing during a budget session. He stated that he didn’t know if fluorescent pink was as safe or safer than fluorescent orange but that if it gets more people interested in hunti...

CHEYENNE – A “stand your ground” bill is on its way to Gov. Matt Mead’s desk for his signature. Both the House of Representatives and Senate passed their “stand your ground” bills – House Bill 168 and Senate File 71 – through their chambers of origin.

She said they didn't need something fancy but all the jumps needed to be in synch. Montoya said, "The girls knew w...
CASPER - It is not how you start but how you finish and the Worland Warriors basketball team certainly proved that during this 2017-18 season.

If we had set preseason goals, they wouldn't have...
CASPER - The Worland Lady Warriors basketball season ended with a loss as they fell to the Lyman Lady Eagles 72-54 in the 3A State tournament fifth-place game Saturday morning at Kelly Walsh High School.
