TEN SLEEP – During a mid-month meeting of the Ten Sleep Town Council on Friday, the town voted to proceed with a project to drain and repair the town’s sewage lagoon, although unexpected engineering costs ballooned the budget for the task.

TEN SLEEP - A strong defensive effort was the key to a 37-20 victory for the Ten Sleep Lady Pioneers in their game against the Riverside Lady Rebels Thursday at Ten Sleep High School. "Defense is what we stand on and there may be nights we don't score but we're going to make the other team work hard to get their points. That's what helps us stay in the game," said TSHS girls basketball coach Sarah Novak. The Lady Pioneers (3-2) held the Lady Rebels (3-2) to 20 points and led wire-to-wire, thanks...
By ALEX KUHN Sports Editor We're days away from closing the book on the year that was 2018. It was another good sports year but rather than regurgitate all the highlights of the sports world (That will be next week's column), I want to recap the worst hot takes I remember from 2018. Most of these takes are funny and from sports media personalities I like or find entertaining. I haven't included any takes from Mike Francesa or Jason Whitlock. I find both guys enjoyable but at the same time,...
