LARAMIE (AP) - The task that faced Tyree Mayfield, Austin Fort and Josh Harshman last season was a simple but unenviable one: make up for Jacob Hollister's production. Hollister, now a tight end with the New England Patriots, caught 32 balls for 515 yards and seven touchdowns in 2016 en route to first-team all-Mountain West honors. As a unit, the Wyoming tight ends caught 40 balls for 598 yards and seven scores that year. Last season, those numbers dipped to 33 catches, 363 yards and three touch...
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Kasey Kahne announced Thursday that he will retire from full-time racing in NASCAR and plans to focus on the sprint car team he owns. Kahne said in a Twitter post that he is at ease with the decision after 15 years racing in NASCAR. Kahne, from Enumclaw, Washington, made it to NASCAR via sprint car racing and his Kasey Kahne Racing team competes in the World of Outlaws series. KKR driver Brad Sweet won the prestigious Knoxville (Iowa) Nationals last weekend and the 38-year-old Kahne was present for the victory. "I'm not s...
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Bill Callahan, Bo Pelini and Mike Riley have come and gone the last 14 years, none able to return Nebraska to its traditional place in the college football hierarchy. Enter Scott Frost, the back-to-the-future hire hailed from border to border in a state where football is the year-round passion. The hottest coach in America came home in December and announced he would return the program to its roots by bringing back much of the master plan Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne devised to pile up wins at a dizzying rate from the 1960s...
HAWTHORNE, N.Y. (AP) — Amid the serene graves at Gate of Heaven Cemetery sits the one where visitors leave baseballs and bats instead of bouquets, tributes to a baseball superstar who still outshines others seven decades after his death. It's the resting place of Babe Ruth, the indelible slugger and larger-than-life personality who died Aug. 16, 1948. Considered by many the greatest player in baseball history, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox legend set home run records — 60 in one season, 714 in his career — that stood for decad...

LARAMIE – Trey Woods is switching positions – again. The University of Wyoming sophomore is moving from running back to defensive end, fifth-year coach Craig Bohl said after Tuesday's practice. Woods was recruited to UW in 2017 as a linebacker, but switched to running back at the start of last season. Woods led the Cowboys with 493 rushing yards in 2018. "We think he has some really good athleticism, we think he has great promise (at defensive end) and also I think it is an indication of som...
WORLAND - While most of the Worland High School fall sports teams started practice Monday, WHS golf saw their first tournament action of the season last Thursday and Friday. Taking part in the Park County Shootout at Olive Glenn Golf and Country Club in Cody and the Powell Golf Club in Powell, the Warriors and Lady Warriors battled against 12 other teams, from classes 2A to 4A, during the two-day tournament. As a team, the Warriors finished third shooting a 643, only trailing second-place 3A...
WORLAND - Of the many great things about athletics is the confrontation with failure. Every athlete, from the amateur to the pro ranks, has dealt with failure and it's how each athlete deals with failure that will determine their future success. Worland powerlifter Alejandra Rice ran into failure while competing at the USPA National Powerlifting Championship in Las Vegas, Nevada, on July 13. The Worland High School junior failed her second squat attempt, a first for her, and later on, failed...
Uggghhh ... is anyone else getting exhausted by these Trump tweets? It's the same thing every year or the same insults thrown at people he doesn't like. Last week he took a shot at LeBron and the only thing surprising about it was how long it took him to do so. Then, in what's slowly becoming a tradition with the start of the NFL season, he complained about the NFL players and their demonstrations during the national anthem. It really feels like we're in a time paradox from "Star Trek" and...
WORLAND – After a two-year break, the Color Me Pink run returns to Worland this Saturday. In previous years, from 2013 to 2015, Teresa Seidel, the lead mammography tech with the Washakie Medical Center has hosted the Color Me Pink fun run as a way to promote breast cancer awareness. This year, after two years of it being set aside over funding, Seidel has been asked to put it on once again. The Color Me Pink run is a fundraiser to raise money for the Washakie Hospital Foundation and cancer awareness programs. Applicants dress in costumes and r...
LARAMIE – Jalani Ellison's name has been mentioned more often than not. The University of Wyoming freshman cornerback has impressed coaches through the Cowboys' first 10 practices of fall camp. Listed at 6-foot and 160 pounds when he signed out of Reseda High in Reseda, California, Ellison is in the hunt to be UW's fourth cornerback, along with redshirt junior Antonio Hull and redshirt freshmen C.J. Coldon and Keyon Blankenbaker. "Athletically, he brings a different element to the group, w...

Who will be the quarterback, and how will he play? Who will run the ball? Will the offensive line be better? Those are all legitimate questions about the University of Wyoming's offense heading into this season. But there is another question that is key to the Cowboys' success offensively in 2018: Who is the big-play threat at wide receiver? Among the seven receivers who caught passes last season, along with three tight ends, all return. However, junior receiver C.J. Johnson, who led UW with...
Remember in grade school when one of the biggest insults you could lob at someone was calling them a tattletale? Calling someone a tattletale during recess was the equivalent of challenging another man’s honor during colonial days. Both had similar outcomes too, either the accused slinked away and was forever marked a tattletale/man of no honor, or you dueled. Simple and to the point, this prevented kids from dropping dimes on people for every minor transgression, it was better to be the dumb kid rather than the tattletale. To be clear a t...

POWELL - It's a tough way to get a job. As Cameron "Cam" Sholly prepares to move to his new offices as director at Yellowstone National Park, some have suggested the move is being made under a dark cloud. Sholly is replacing popular superintendent Dan Wenk, who's been Yellowstone's chief for seven years. Wenk has said he was punitively forced out after disagreements with the Trump administration. Wenk opted to retire in August rather than accept a move to Washington, D.C., for a new position...

Initially, Ten Sleep High School activities director Sarah Novak thought her players would only be allowed to play junior varsity but WHSAA gave any Ten Sleep player the OK to play at the varsity level as well. The decision by WHSAA...
LAS VEGAS – The University of Wyoming football team often has been the underdog since the Mountain West's first year in 1999. The Cowboys have fed off that underdog mentality to prove people wrong and finish better than expected. For example, they were picked to finish last in the Mountain Division in 2016, but won it. However, expectations are higher this season, for both the team and certain players. The media picked UW to finish second behind Boise State in the division, which was a...
