WORLAND - They are in different conferences now but whenever the Worland Lady Warriors and Hot Springs County Lady Bobcats meet on the volleyball court it's going to make for an energetic night. The two dueling student sections certainly cracked it up to 11 Thursday night at Worland High School as the two volleyball rivals clashed in a non-conference match. The Lady Warriors downed the Lady Bobcats 3-0 (25-18, 25-20, 25-19) and at times showed just how high the ceiling is for this team. Whether...
WORLAND - Last season the Warriors snapped their eight-year playoff drought, making it in as a No. 4-seed out of the 3A West. This season and now in the 3A East, the Warriors are not only in an excellent position to make a return trip to the postseason but can better their seeding over the final three games of the regular season. The Warriors currently sit second in the 3A East with a perfect 2-0 conference record and are 3-2 overall. Worland's remaining games are against the top teams of the...
WORLAND - Moving over to the 3A West has brought some changes for the Worland High School volleyball team with new opponents. Another of those changes happens this weekend as the Lady Warriors will be in Lander on Friday and Saturday for the 3A West conference duals. Last week Worland went 1-1, beating Buffalo 3-1 (25-21, 25-17, 25-27, 25-19) and losing to Cody 3-0 (25-16, 25-17, 25-18). Against Cody, the Lady Warriors had a hard time containing Filly hitter Paige Powell. "Give Cody credit they...
Bobcats moving on from tough loss to Wheatland, focus now turns to Newcastle By ALEX KUHN Sports Editor THERMOPOLIS - Things did not break in favor of the Hot Springs County High School football team during their game against the Wheatland Bulldogs on Friday night. Penalties and turnovers by the Bobcats kept putting the team behind the eight-ball, but for all the miscues, they still kept fighting and only came up a few plays short during their 28-14 loss to the Bulldogs at Hot Springs High Schoo...
RAWLINS -It's not how you start but how you finish. That could not be truer for the Worland High School football team Friday night at Rawlins High School. The Warriors went to Rawlins to take on the Outlaws and left town the 16-7 victors, thanks in part to an impressive second half. The Warriors (3-2) did all their damage against the Outlaws (1-4) in the second half scoring all 16 of their points after the halftime break. Not to be outdone, the Warrior defense locked it down in the second half,...
There are plenty of debates burning in the world of sports and while they can be exhausting at times, overall they're fun debates. That's why sports TV is littered with talking head shows going over topics like LeBron vs. Jordan, Tom Brady vs. Joe Montana and will we ever see a team as incredible as the '18 Jacksonville Jaguars? (I know they had a bad loss to the Titans, but I still believe.) One debate that always seems to come up during September is which is best, the NFL or college football?...
WORLAND - The Worland High School volleyball team is on the road today and tomorrow to take on the Buffalo Lady Bison and Cody Fillies, respectfully. The Lady Bison have always been a tough rival of the Lady Warriors and the Fillies are enjoying a nice run in their first season in 4A and are currently ranked fourth in the WyoPreps coach's and media volleyball poll Last Saturday, in Rawlins, the Lady Warriors pushed the No. 2-ranked Lady Outlaws to four games, losing 3-1 (25-20, 21-25, 26-24,...
WORLAND - Coming off a solid outing at their home meet last Thursday at the Green Hills Golf Course, the Worland High School cross-country team has two weeks left in their regular season. With the days counting down there's very little time to waste because this is the point of the season where results weigh heavier and heavier with each passing race. Warrior senior Porter Harman ran a 16:09.82 finishing first and winning the Worland Invitational for the second season in a row. Fellow Warrior te...
WORLAND - As we get older athletic achievements tend to dwindle and/or be targeted to more manageable challenges, like running a marathon or competing in a triathlon. For Worland's Chris Klinghagen those are all well and good, but marathons, triathlons, are sort of training events for the challenges he has laid out for himself. Klinghagen enjoys pushing himself, whether that's biking the equivalent of the Bozeman Trail (A slight exaggeration but you get the idea) or entering 50K runs. Wanting a...
WORLAND - The Worland High School homecoming week caps off at the Worland Aquatic Center today, as the Lady Warriors swim team holds their annual Warrior Invitational. A total of nine teams will be in the pool today, the entire 3A East with Worland, Buffalo, Cody, Douglas, Newcastle and Rawlins, along with three teams from the 3A West Lander, Powell and Riverton. "It's a really important meet for every team because it marks the halfway point in the season, has great competition from all over...
WORLAND - Just like a top MLB pitcher or NFL QB, the Worland High School football team showed a remarkable ability to shake off mistakes and right their error with a big play. The Warriors never folded during their 33-30 homecoming victory over the Riverton Wolverines Friday night at Worland High School. "They just kept playing hard. There were a lot of ups and a lot of downs and they just kept playing through it. We did a better job of moving on from the mistakes than we have in the past...
On the surface, it might seem like the 2018 Chicago Cubs and the Predator movie franchise don't have a lot in common but believe me they do. I just made the connection this week, so don't feel bad if you didn't link the two. On the way to see the latest Predator movie at the Washakie Twin Cinemas. I was thinking about my favorite baseball team, the Cubs if you haven't figured that out. All season long the Cubs haven't really put it together and have been a good but non-contender team. They've...
THERMOPOLIS - 'Grit and Grind' is the slogan for the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies team, but after their 2A State golf tournament performance in Newcastle, the Hot Springs County High School boys golf team could borrow that slogan too. After the first round, the Bobcats (418) trailed the Kemmerer Rangers (407), 2017's runners-up, by 11 strokes. They were also tied in second place with Tongue River and Wright. But, on the second and final round of the tournament, the Bobcats kept at it and kept...

WORLAND - The non-conference schedule came to a disappointing end for the Worland High School football team. Hosting the Jackson Broncs the Warriors struggled to find their flow on both sides of the ball and ultimately fell 42-12, Friday night at Worland High School. "Our big point of emphasis was how much a game like this hurts. It hurts to lose but it hurts worse when you know you didn't reach your potential. That's what makes the loss worse, we should have at the least been in that game. Look...
The overreactions to NFL Week 1 are amazing and quite honestly, one of the more underrated parts of the NFL calendar. Everything that happens in Week 1 isn't completely useless, there are useful nuggets here and there but they're usually buried among the heap of overreaction. For example last year, America's Favorite team the Jacksonville Jaguars racked up 10 sacks and ended the Tom Savage era as quickly as it began. The Jags performance was lost in the Week 1 news because the Kansas City...
WORLAND — After spending the early portion of the season on the road, the Worland High School volleyball team played their first match of the season in front of the Worland faithful Thursday night.

CODY - A week after their thrilling win over the Powell Panthers, the Worland Warrior football team experienced the pain of defeat Friday night in Cody against the Cody Broncs. On the road and playing the defending state champions, execution was going to be critical if the Warriors (1-1) were going to knock off 3A's No. 1-ranked team. Unfortunately, that was not the case for Worland, turnovers and missed opportunities to get the defense off the field led to a 33-8 loss. "We played them tough...
