If you've seen a Tongue River Basketball game then perhaps you've seen the "Little Eagles Cheerleaders." In the back row starting from the left are: Mary from Highland Park Elementary (Sheridan), Lillian from Homeschool and Athena, Jaden & McKayla from Tongue River Elementary. In the front are Addison and Aurora also from Tongue River Elementary.

On Friday night between basketball games in Dayton long-time basketball coach Larry Moser was recognized and presented with a plaque honoring his 35-years of service. During his career as a coach he amassed a record of 309-179 and took the Eagles to a state championship in 1994.

A technical on the Rams allowed a free throw by the Eagles top scorer Matthew Yellowtail to start Friday's game instead of a normal tipoff. Apparently the "T" was a result of an improper uniform top or number by Big Horn's Colter Carzoli.

The Tongue River Lady Eagles made it 19 in a row as they downed their cross-district rivals the Lady Rams of Big Horn 48 to 29. A full house crowd was on their feet as they welcomed the Lady Eagles when they took the court. The audience remained on their feet until the first score and then settled in for a great game by their Lady Eagles.

Friday evening in Big Horn the #5 ranked Rams jumped on their cross-district rivals the Tongue River Eagles with 33 points to TR's 17 in the first quarter and never looked back as they cruised to a 82 to 58 win. On the far left Tanner Dockery gets two of his team high 20-points equalling the 20 put up by Big Horn's Colter Carzoli in the next frame to the right.

The No. 1 ranked Tongue River Lady Eagles went to Big Horn on Friday and notched another victory to go 11-0 on the season but the Big Horn Lady Rams made a game of it. Bailey Bard hit a two with 3:30 to go in the game to put Big Horn up 39 - 36 but then Jadyn Mirich and Gracie Goldhammer fouled out. Ranchester capitalized and pulled out a 45 to 41 victory.

The Wyoming Coaches Association has announced the All-State Volleyball Award Honorees for 2012 that includes five from Sheridan County: Bailey Roebling from Arvada-Clearmont, Brynne Gardner from Sheridan, Gracie Goldhammer & Jadyn Mirich from Big Horn and Sarah Nielson from Tongue River.
