The soccer season begins next Thursday. The Lady Broncs went 2-1 at the State Tournament last spring, and this year they return as one of the favorites to contend for another State Championship. Even though there is no school this week because of spring break, Coach Chris Cook says they continue to work hard in practice as they prepare for the opener. The Lady Broncs open the season at home next Thursday against Casper Kelly Walsh.

The Broncs also open their season next Thursday on the road at Kelly Walsh First year coach Grant Traphaggen says they are making good progress as they get ready for their season opener.

The Sheridan Lady Broncs came up big when they had to, and won the 2007 State Basketball Championship Saturday night in Casper. It was the program’s first title since 1993 and they did it dramatic fashion, taking out Gillette in the semi finals and Casper Natrona. They beat Gillette 60-56 in a backyard brawl. The teams combined for 57 turnovers and 31 steals, and the Lady Broncs broke through late to win it. The title game with Natrona County went back and fourth all night. Junior Erica Stender hit a huge three point basket that put the Lady Broncs up by four, with under a minute to play, and it held up. Kelsey Boedecker finished the scoring with free throws, and the Lady Broncs took the championship game 45-39. Boedecker says they knew how difficult it would be to win the Championship, and they had to beat two really good teams. Boedecker says she knew they were ready for NC before they took the court.

The Lady Broncs win the championship in Coach Mark Elliott’s ninth season leading the team. In the 4th quarter of the championship game, Natrona County didn’t make a basket. They’re only points came from the free-throw line. Elliott says their excellent defensive play carried them to a State Title. And finally, the play of senior point guard Kelsey Boedecker; her play was spectacular, her leadership on the court was the difference in the semi final and finals. She had 22 points in the win over Gillette, and 14 against NC, but her calming influence on the court for her teammates was probably the most important thing she brought to the gym each night.

2007 will go down as the greatest basketball season in Sheridan county history. The Lady Broncs championship ends a basketball post season that may never be matched in Sheridan County again. Five teams went to the State Tournaments the last two weeks. Three won State Championships, and two were runner-ups. Sheridan County has the 2007 Class 1-A champs, Arvada/Clearmont Lady Panthers; the three time 2-A champs, Tongue River Lady Eagles; the 4-A champ Sheridan Lady Broncs; the upstart Big Horn Lady Rams took TR into overtime in the 2-A Title game to place second; and the Tongue River Eagles went to the final seconds against Lyman in the 2-A Title game and finished 2nd.

A group is organizing an event to honor all five teams. It has been tentatively scheduled for next week. The exact time and location for this public pep rally to honor all the players and coaches hasn’t been set, but we will let you know as soon as it’s announced.

The Natrona County boys won the Class 4-A State Title, beating Laramie in the championship. The clock struck midnight early for Cinderella - Laramie, who made it to the title game as a four seed, had the biggest upset win of the tournament when they took out number one seed Gillette in the first round. The Camels won the consolation bracket trophy, beating Green River.. Evanston took the third place game over the other number one seed Cheyenne east.

The Gillette Girls beat Cheyenne Central in the girls third place game, while Green River took the 4-A girl’s consolation trophy.

In the 3-A title games, Jackson beat the Buffalo Girls for the championship, and Star Valley beat Mountain View for the boys 3-A Title. There will not be a repeat champ in the 3-A boys next year, as Star Valley moves up to 4-A next year and Mountain View moves down a Class to 2-A.

The Tongue River Lady Eagles scored their third consecutive Class 2-A State Title Saturday in overtime against the upstart Big Horn Lady Rams. Both teams played great basketball over the first two days of the tournament, and destiny was on their side as Tongue River and Big Horn met for the first time against each other for the State Championship. The Lady Rams led most of the game with Tongue River, never more than just a basketball away. It seemed fitting, as Tayla Tucker and Bethany Yellowtail traded baskets in the final 20 seconds, that the game should go into overtime. The Lady Eagles scored the first four points in overtime, and it held up for a 49-43 victory. Lady Eagles senior Courtney Johnson says they were motivated to play the Lady Rams, after losing to them in the Regional Tournament a week earlier.  Lady Eagles head coach Diane Moser says it was a great game they were able to pull out late. It’s the third straight title for the Lady Eagles. Moser says the senior class is quite a group.

The Big Horn Lady Rams lose only one senior from this year’s state runner-up team. The young Lady Rams played so well, it really inspired their head coach Mike Daley.

The Arvada / Clearmont Lady Panthers senior class fulfilled their dream of winning the school’s first State Title by blowing out Burlington to win the girls Class 1-A State Title, 57-36. The Lady Panthers jumped out to a 10 point lead after the first quarter and just rolled. After that they led by 24 points entering the 4th quarter, and cruised to the title. Senior Randa Claybaugh has been the team most visible player for the last four years. She was thrilled to finally get that State Title. Lady Panthers head coach Bill Joy says finally winning the Championships ends a long journey for the Lady Panthers basketball team.

The final game of Championship night Saturday turned into another State Tournament classic as Tongue River And Lyman battled right to the final minute of play. The teams were tied at the end of the first quarter. Lyman lead by one at halftime, and by two entering the 4th quarter. The team went back and forth right to final minute, but a couple of Eagles misses and Lyman free-throw ended the Eagles hopes as Lyman won the game 59-54. Not many gave the Eagles a chance to play for the Championship. They beat Lovell in the first round, a team that had beaten them twice during the regular season; then they blew out Lusk in the semi finals. Head coach Larry Moser says they used their underdog status to get them going, and they almost got it done.
