TEN SLEEP - Coming into the 2019 track and field season Ten Sleep High School track and field coach Desiree Egger knew seniors Kinley Erickson and Kelli Holiday were going to be the team's top point scorers this year. That has held true to this point in the season, but what is also exciting for Egger and Ten Sleep has been how quickly sophomores Lindsey Holiday, Elizabeth Lungren and Boe Nichols have come along. Lungren won the 300 hurdles and finished second in the 100-meter dash during the... Full story
I know the NBA is powered by its superstars. That's never been a secret and it's the model that works for a league with an 82-game season and four best-of-seven playoff rounds. But I think if we threw in an eccentric coach along the lines of a Jon Gruden-type it would add to the league's entertainment value. Now, this isn't because I'm trying to help out the NBA TV ratings. Honestly, when it comes to TV ratings, I've officially moved into the camp of who cares? TV ratings are a lot like the... Full story
LARAMIE - When they arrived at the University of Wyoming, Andrew Wingard and Carl Granderson were just names on a roster. Little was known about them, and not much was expected of them outside of the coaches who recruited them. They were underdogs. Wingard, Granderson and a handful of other former UW players are in that same situation this week as the NFL draft starts today and concludes Saturday in Nashville, Tennessee. They just want a chance to show what they can do at the ultimate level of... Full story
LARAMIE – The most successful coach in University of Wyoming women's basketball history is calling it a career.

WORLAND - It is hard to believe but the track and field season is nearly complete and for the Worland High School team they have three meets remaining before the start of the postseason. Hosting their annual home meet, the D&D Invitational, last week at WHS, the Warriors and Lady Warriors showed they are taking advantage of every meet. Plenty of Worland's athletes set new personal records or inched ever so close to qualifying for the 3A State meet. After the home meet Worland had planned on... Full story
THERMOPOLIS - The Hot Springs County High School track and field continued to improve after their latest meet at Riverton Invitational at Riverton High School on April 13.

One of the more entertaining things about social media, while also slightly annoying, is the pushback. No matter the topic, person or place, there is always going to be a pushback. Then you can expect pushback to that pushback, followed by more pushback to the pushback's pushback. It's a good ole' pushback paradox. Tiger Woods' snapping his 11-year major drought is excellent proof of the pushback paradox. When Tiger claimed his fifth Master's and 15th career major victory last Sunday there was... Full story
WORLAND - Having nearly a full team and great weather at the L.A. Kohnke Invitational at Powell High School on April 6 proved to be a big boost for the Worland High School track and field teams.

Trying to save some words, so I'm going to make this intro quick. The NBA playoffs start this week and with this weather storm bumping up our deadline. I'm not going to be able to breakdown each playoff matchup because seeding was still up in the air as I was writing this. (If Detroit gets eliminated, they're forever dead to me and I hope all the bad sports things happen to them and only them.) Instead, I broke down the 16 remaining teams into five categories, which are all pretty... Full story

She was disappointed with her time in the mile but it was a good starting point for the season and gives her room to grow. Kelli [Holiday], always... Full story
LARAMIE — Albany County School District No. 1 board members plan to revisit the possibility of offering softball at Laramie High School after they complete their budget for the 2019-2020 school year. The board declined a request from Laramie Girls Softball in February in a dramatic 4-4 vote. The ninth school board member, Michele Mitchum, resigned the same day as that board meeting, and a tie vote was enough to kill the proposal. Since then, organizers of Laramie Girls Softball have pushed the board to reverse that February decision as more d...

LARAMIE – The last time coach Joe Legerski and the University of Wyoming women’s basketball team played Pepperdine was in 2013. UW won and Legerski picked up his 200th win.

March Madness is officially underway. I know technically it starts with those "First Four" games but watching a collection of teams that don't belong in the tournament or are No. 16-seeds, isn't why I watch the most entertaining postseason in all of sports. From now until Sunday, is one of the best days on the sports calendar. Brackets will be made or busted over these next four days and you'll either be that much closer to winning your office pool and ultimate sports knowledge bragging rights... Full story
