The Pioneers and Lady Pioneers closed out the regular season week in Thermopolis in which TSHS track coach Desiree Egger was pleased with her team's performance. The highlights came in the form of seniors Allison Hampton and Felicity Loveland automatically qualifying for the state meet in...
BUFFALO - The final match of the 2017 regular season turned into a nightmare for the Worland Lady Warriors Tuesday night at Buffalo High School. Tuesday's matchup between the Lady Warriors and Lady Bison, who are both tied for third in the final WyoPreps 3A girls soccer rankings, was a 5-1 rout in favor of the Lady Bison. For WHS girls soccer coach Danielle Warren her team's loss to Buffalo felt similar to their 6-2 loss to the Cody Fillies last year which was also toward the end of the regular...
Warriors win another close one, defeat Buffalo 2-1 WORLAND - The Worland Warriors have been playing in tightly contested matches all season long and they're beginning to turn winning these close contests into a team skill. Tuesday night was no different as Worland hosted the Buffalo Bison on senior night. The Warriors beat the Bison 2-1 in a match that had a lot of close calls and that had the coaches and fans all sighing in relief as the referee sounded the match was over. "We do what it takes...
WORLAND - It did not take long for the Wyoming high school track season to sprint by.

WORLAND - For the first half in their match against the Douglas Bearcats the No. 4 Worland Warriors were out of sync and having troubles finishing off goals. Going into halftime the Warriors were leading 1-0 off a Rylan Macko free kick in the 41st minute but were not playing to their potential. Coming out of the break the Warriors were focused and for a majority of the second half enforced their will on the Bearcats on their way to a 3-1 victory Friday night at Worland High School. "We played a...
When assault with a deadly weapon is OK It’s 2017 and we’re hitting, or have passed, the timelines for a lot of futuristic ‘80s and ‘90s movies like “Blade Runner,” “Mission to Mars,” “Back to the Future I and II” and, hilariously, “Timecop,” which was made in 1994 and took place in the distant future of 2004. With the exception of “Timecop,” I’m not going to bash any of those movies for trying to predict the future. Figuring out the future is tough with endless variables going every which way. But some things you would have thought in 2017 wo...
WORLAND - It has been a long journey for six Worland Lady Warrior soccer players and today they will be recognized for their contributions to the program as the they host the No. 5 Douglas Lady Bearcats.

"Having them back this season has been nice. We've been working hard and I've been super impressed with t...
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - Declaring "I still have more in my tank," Jamaal Charles, the Kansas City Chiefs' all-time rushing leader, signed with the AFC West rival Denver Broncos on Tuesday for a chance to prove it. "Excited to have Jamaal Charles join the Broncos," general manager John Elway tweeted Tuesday afternoon upon signing Charles to a one-year, incentive-laden deal. "A great addition to our backfield, and we're thrilled we won't have to play against him!" While it may be strange seeing...
CASPER - The Wyoming Track Classic is a chance for the best high school athletes in the state to go head to head for bragging rights as the best in their respective fields. Both Worland High School and Ten Sleep High School were well represented at the Classic. Four Warriors and three Lady Pioneers were selected to compete in the Classic Tuesday night at Kelly Walsh High School in Casper. Senior Allison Hampton (triple jump), sophomore Kelli Holiday (400, 800) and freshman Sydney Holiday (100,...
WORLAND - To be the best you have to beat the best. For four Worland High School track athletes they will have the opportunity to do so today at Kelly Walsh High School in Casper in the Wyoming Track Classic. The Classic brings the top 10 athletes of the 2017 season from each event regardless of school classification Junior Josh Garza (pole vault), sophomore Porter Harman (1,600-meter, 3,200), senior Brad Lyman (high jump) and senior Cody Newell (200 and 300 hurdles) were among the top 10 in...
I know it's anticlimactic to spoil the answer in the subhead but I'm going Quentin Tarantino with it and telling you the ending now and work backwards from there I've wanted to write something on Serena Williams for a while. Originally, I wanted to write a column on how underappreciated she is, after her dominant Australian Open victory, but I was on a role in the NFL playoffs and she got pushed to the backburner. But she sent out an Instagram post of herself 20 weeks pregnant last week; then...
No. 3 Lady Warriors find a way to win against the Lady Wranglers WORLAND - On another cold and windy spring day the No. 3 Worland Lady Warriors were out of sync but found a way to grab the "W" Thursday afternoon at Worland High School. The Lady Warriors, without most of their senior leadership who are in Washington, D.C., defeated the Pinedale Lady Wranglers 3-1. The absence of the Lady Warriors seniors was noticeable in the first half as the Lady Warriors were never able to get into a rhythm....
WORLAND — The Worland Warriors and Lady Warriors soccer matches against the Star Valley Braves and Lady Braves scheduled for this afternoon have been canceled due to weather. Star Valley was unable to make the trip with the Wind River Canyon being closed. Also of note the Worland High School track team had their meets canceled due to weather, which were Thursday’s meet in Buffalo and Friday’s meet in Meeteetse. The Wyoming Track Classic was scheduled for Friday but has been moved to Tuesday, May 2....
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - John Elway has a wicked defense and a wretched offense. In many respects, Denver's defense last year was even better than the one that carried Peyton Manning across the finish line of his stellar career that ended with a Super Bowl 50 ring. The Broncos' offense, on the other hand, was the primary culprit in Denver missing the playoffs one year later. Denver needs upgrades at O-line and tight end and better depth at wide receiver and running back. All these pressing...
TEN SLEEP - If there were a pound for pound championship in Wyoming High School track the Ten Sleep Lady Pioneers would be a contender. The Lady Pioneers have seven athletes out this season and what they lack in numbers they more than make up for in talent. Last week the Lady Pioneers competed in the Riverton Twilight, Worland Triangular and Lovell Invitational and impressed at each meet. Specifically in Riverton where the team placed second and scored 88 points competing mostly against 3A and...
WORLAND - It was a quick turnaround for the No. 5 Worland Warriors after their win Friday against the No. 4 Cody Broncs. Taking the lead in the 3A Northwest quadrant the Warriors needed to beat Powell Saturday to clinch the quadrant and secure a No. 1-seed for the 3A state tournament in Sheridan on May 18-20. The Powell match may not have been their best performance but it got the job done and the Warriors were able to punch their ticket to the state tournament as they defeated Powell 2-1...
WORLAND - After being held scoreless in their last two matches the Worland Warriors worked out of their offensive rut Friday to take down the Cody Broncs 1-0 on a rainy and cold night at Worland High School. "We talked to them all week about taking the game to the opponent, instead of us reacting. We wanted to make them react to what we were doing. We did that in [Friday's] game, we had Cody on their heels the entire game and were having to react to what we were doing. I'm so happy and proud of...
Last year around this time I was working on a column declaring the first round of the NBA Playoffs officially dead. Most of the series from last season were on the verge of sweeps but things turned around and it became interesting. The first round of the 2017 playoffs has been incredible and could have been even better if not for Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert’s injury. There are intriguing matchups or story lines in seven of the eight series. The Warriors/Blazers series is a bit of a snooze. Now had the Blazers Jusuf Nurkic been healthy this s...
WHS track caps off final home meet WORLAND - Competing against Ten Sleep High School and Hot Springs County High School in the Worland Triangular meet the Worland High School track team hosted their final home meet of the 2017 season and were able to showcase their skills in front of family and friends. "It was a good day but the sickness hit out team, we were missing several kids. Sickness and injuries kind of prevailed on us. It wasn't as good of a performance as probably on Tuesday but...

RIVERTON - In a blink of an eye the 3A East regional meet will be underway and with the end of the season in sight the Worland High School track team has been working hard to make the most of what time they have left. Yesterday the Warriors and Lady Warriors traveled to Riverton for the Riverton Twilight meet and junior Saige Jones summed up the meet with a short but effective message.

TEN SLEEP - With five meets under their belts the Ten Sleep High School track team will finally be at full strength today as they travel to Riverton High School for the Riverton Twilight meet. "We have 13 kids out this year which for us is a big team. We've only had half our kids because of FFA or other activities, but they've looked good," said TSHS track coach Desiree Egger. Having competed in Buffalo, Burlington Powell and Worland so far this season the Pioneers and Lady Pioneers have been...
What to do about resting NBA players The NBA just wrapped up one of their most impressive regular season’s in recent memory. There’s been a fierce MVP battle that has given shows like Pardon the Interruption, Around the Horn and whatever FS1’s top debate show is, months’ worth of debate around whether the award should go to James Harden, Russell Westbrook or Kawhi Leonard. We’ve seen a promising group of young players make “the leap” and some of them like Giannis Antetokoumpo, start carving out superstar roles. We also had the Golden State...
No. 1 Warriors fall 1-0 to No. 5 Wolverines RIVERTON - Their first test since being ranked No. 1 the Worland Warriors traveled to Riverton to take on the No. 5 Riverton Wolverines. In what might be a sign of how strong the 3A Boys soccer is the Wolverines took down the Warriors 1-0 Thursday night. "They scored early in the second half, they got a through ball on us and were able to poke it in," said WHS boys soccer coach Ron Overcast. "I was really proud of our guys tonight, we were without...
LARAMIE – Isaac Leppke said it crossed his mind a time or two. The last time it did, it became a reality. The University of Wyoming moved the redshirt freshman walk-on from quarterback to wide receiver earlier this spring. In the mind of fourth-year coach Craig Bohl, the reason was simple. "We felt he could help our football team earlier at the wide receiver position as opposed to quarterback," Bohl said. Leppke was behind redshirt junior starter Josh Allen and junior backup Nick Smith at q...
