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...

WORLAND - A week after having their 1A 6-man season forfeited, those Ten Sleep Pioneers who wanted to play football have received some good news. The Wyoming High School Activities Association has given them the go-ahead to play for Worland High School this season. 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...

TEN SLEEP - It's always nice easing into a new position before the tougher aspects and decisions of the job begin to take shape. For Ten Sleep's newly appointed Activities Director Sarah Novak, she had no such luxury. As the new TSHS AD, after the departure of principal and AD, Russ Budmayr, Novak's first order of business in May was to figure out what to do with the football program. After exploring different options and only having four players 100 percent committed to the season, Novak, and...

The Wildfires played a total of five games going 4-1 against the Riverton Trailblazers and Casper Cobras, with their only loss coming in their first...
YELLOWSTONE -In 1994 it was discovered that nonnative, predatory lake trout had made their way into Yellowstone Lake and as a result began to wreak havoc on the population numbers of the lake's native species, the Yellowstone cutthroat trout. Since the discovery efforts have been underway to restore the cutthroat as the dominant species of Yellowstone Lake many have stepped up and answered the call for the restoration of the cutthroats like Julia and George Argyros. The Argyroses established a...
WORLAND — Summer is quickly zipping by with the fall sports season not far off and next week current and future Warriors football players will be attending the Worland Football Camp at Worland High School.

LARAMIE – Jordan Spears is used to having good – if not really good – rodeo seasons to hang his hat on. The bull rider from Redding, California, took a big leap to kick-starting the bulk of his summer schedule Wednesday when he was crowned the 78th annual Laramie Jubilee Days Mr. T Xtreme Bull Riding champion. "My job is to come here, stay on my bull and let everything settle where it settles," Spears said. "That's why I travel up and down the road – to perform my best every time and I'm hap...
It was bound to happen, a day was going to come when I read a story and my inner curmudgeon would be unleashed like that of a rage-fueled Norse god, leading me to write my first "get off my lawn" or "old man yells at could" take. But unlike most in sports media who want to deny or fight that time and pop culture is passing them by, I'm leaning into it. I am genuinely excited about this and even though I'm only 30, I've started to notice that pop culture has been pulling further and further...
WORLAND - Worland youth wrestler Jeff Kordonowy traveled to Pocatello, Idaho, on June 22-23 in the AAU West Grand Nationals tournament.

Wrestling for the Billings Wrestling Club, Wyoming does not have an AAU wrestling chapter, Kordonowy won in all three styles of the schoolboy division, in three different weight classes, 110, 115 and 122 earning him the prestigious Triple Crown...
LARAMIE – During this past season, at Mount Zion Academy in Baltimore, Tariq Johnson had some free time and watched the University of Wyoming men's basketball team defeat Nevada 104-103 in double overtime at home. "I kept telling myself, 'I can see myself playing there because of their playing style, which was the same as at Mount Zion,'" Johnson said. About a month later, UW started recruiting the 6-foot-5, 200-pound guard and eventually signed him. "When I got the first call (from Wyoming), I...
