CHEYENNE — The recent winter storm that traveled through Wyoming yesterday once again kept all members of the Wyoming Highway Patrol very busy.

To get you ready, we’ve got a rundown of what to look...
Over the past few seasons, the University of Wyoming Cowgirls basketball team took more of a “let’s try to outscore the opposition” approach rather than “let’s try to stop the opposition” stance. Having two of the most prolific scorers and 3-point shooters in program history, that approach made sense. The 2015-16 Cowgirls have been built a little differently. More attention has been paid to the defensive side of the ball this season, and it’s in part helped the Cowgirls to a 5-3 start to the season. And it’s not necessarily that Wyoming’s defen...
