Editor’s note: The following information was put together by “Stat Rat” Jim Craig, a longtime follower of Wyoming high school sports, as part of his ongoing research into Wyoming high school basketball. Mr. Craig has spent numerous hours researching Wyoming high school basketball, and I’m proud to share his research here. Thanks to the “Stat Rat” for putting in the time to expand the knowledge base of Wyoming high school basketball!
Noteworthy Events of the 1947-1948 Season
1. Another Win for Okie—The Cheyenne Indians ran their win streak to 37 games, building off the perfect season from the year before. Rawlins finally managed a home win versus Cheyenne in February, followed by a win by Casper Natrona two weeks later. Cheyenne got its act together at district, with easy wins over Lusk and Wheatland. Many looked to Big Horn Basin champion Lovell to be the Indians’ main competition at state or possibly regular season champion Evanston from the southwest. However, both teams stumbled at their district events, finishing third. Lovell and Evanston righted the ship during state tourney play, but the schools had to face one another in the semis while Cheyenne dispatched Cody in a close, six-point win. Lovell handed Evanston the loss and squared off against the Indians in the finale. Cheyenne won easily, repeating their state championship effort from the ’46-’47 season.
2. Byron wins—The Eagles took honors as Class B teams from the Big Horn Basin weighed heavily in the results at state tourney. Shoshoni earned third place and Cowley fourth, to go along with Byron’s championship banner. Byron faced Hanna in the finals, and although the Miners’ regular season record was so-so, many of their losses were to Class A teams. Many expected LaGrange to excel at state—the school sported Class B’s best W/L record—and they did, but Hanna eked out a close, two-point win from the Longhorns in the semis, setting up the game with Byron (which also won by two over Shoshoni, certainly one of the tightest semifinal events ever staged at the state tourney.)
3. Casper College hoops coach—The search for a replacement coach for the Casper College basketball team involved a number of prominent high school coaches. Candidates to replace the Thunderbirds’ mentor Walt Dowler included candidates Okie Blanchard from Cheyenne, former Midwest coach Earl “Shadow” Ray, Ft. Laramie’s Lew Young, Pat Patterson from Thermopolis and the Casper Natrona coach, Joe Schwartz. Most said no to the position, except Schwartz, who was named to the position prior to the start of the hoops season. Former Casper Natrona and UW star athlete, Earl “Shadow” Ray was then named to the Mustangs’ coaching position vacated by Schwartz.
4. Chugwater Ball (The Sequel)—Faithful readers might recall the troubles the Chugwater team had in finding a suitable basketball for their games during the ’46-’47 season, going through several ersatz tries. As a prelude to their ’47-’48 season the Chugwater News reported, “The new basketball has arrived. It is a $21 last built ball—the best to be had.” This scribe could find no other mentions of an unsuitable basketball during the season, so apparently buying a top shelf item did the trick.
5. Practice Games—The Rat comes across games that some coaches refer to as “practice games” that in some cases are just that, controlled scrimmages held prior to the start of the regular season. Sometimes “practice games” are actually non-conference games and the wording is a misnomer, in the Rat’s opinion. If a score was kept, if referees were used (sometimes impossible to know for sure) and if the game received mention in print, then it’ll count on their season record.
This leads me to the State Archive file of Coach Floyd Hart of Lusk and the game of 12/6/47 at Midwest, the initial game for both teams. Coach Hart did not count the Tigers’ 23 to 44 loss to the Oilers on his season record; it was strictly a practice game, according to the Lusk Free Lance newspaper (there was no mention in the Lusk Herald, at all). Midwest coach John Bays listed the game as an Oiler win. Which leads the Rat to a quandary, go against Lusk coaching royalty—think in terms of John Wooden or Adolph Rupp, which is how revered Coach Hart is in #14 county—or side with the legend? With some trepidation, the Rat decided to list the game as a loss for Lusk. It met most of the criteria. A score was kept, 23 points for the Tigers—an odd number—means that at least one foul shot was attempted and made, and the score is in print in Niobrara and Natrona county newspapers. Also, that Lusk drove three plus hours to play a practice game in Midwest is the kicker, as far the Rat is concerned. Would Coach Hart forgive the Rat, who was also a coach in Lusk Middle School for 26 years?
6. An Attempt at an All-State Team—At the end of the basketball season, the Casper Tribune-Herald used balloting by its readers to name an All-State team. Hardly a scientific criteria, members of the team was selected by the number of ballots, season record of the team and postseason showing made at the state tourney. There were three teams selected with a number of honorable mention citations. Fan balloting is an inexact science at determining an All-Star team, and certainly the rest of the state didn’t get the local support that Midwest and Casper Natrona did. (Notice that Midwest readers voted early and often.) However it is beneficial in that some excellent players, whose team failed to make the state tourney, did receive mention.

As Class A teams gathered in Gillette for the district tourney, it seemed that one school, Sheridan, might give the Natrona County Mustangs a run for their money. The Broncs had split their regular season games with Casper and did likewise with Midwest. The Mustangs drew a bye for the initial round while Sheridan and Midwest both won first round games on their side of the bracket. In the semis, Casper dispatched the hosts Gillette in a tight game and Midwest surprised with a win over Sheridan. The Mustangs took the title with an easy win over the Oilers in the finals. Sheridan won over Gillette in the fight for third and fourth seeds, both schools winning Saturday morning eliminators.
Clearmont played 16 Class B games, winning all but two, and were rated the favorites heading into tourney play. Clearmont won a close game in the semis versus Moorcroft while Arvada won easily over Ranchester. After winning eliminator games, Ranchester and Moorcroft squared off for third place and a trip to Laramie in two weeks’ time. Ranchester won easily. Arvada and Clearmont battled it out in the finals and Clearmont won by four, demonstrating that their role as favorites was more than just talk.
At Laramie, the Powder River schools underachieved. All three Class B schools were two and done. For the Class A teams, only Sheridan won its initial game, followed by two losses. Midwest managed to win its second game but was eliminated from tourney play on Friday. Casper Natrona and Gillette were 0 and 2 at state.

Southeast
Cheyenne earned a bye heading into district tourney play at Wheatland. Only Wheatland kept the score against the Indians to less than double digits for area opposition during the regular season. In fact, the Indians ran their undefeated streak (which began at the start of the previous school year) to 37 games before dropping their first game in February. Wheatland had won the conference—teams except Cheyenne and Laramie—and were placed in the bracket opposite of Cheyenne. Cheyenne defeated Lusk in the semis while Wheatland dispatched Laramie. Lusk and Torrington won eliminator games and squared off for third and fourth place, with the Trailblazers winning. Cheyenne easily handled Wheatland for the district title.
Rather than have a 21-team bracket as in previous years, the powers-that-be decided on a two-day elimination tourney between the bottom nine teams. Five teams would be eliminated and the top four finishers would be seeded as the 13 thru 16 seeds at the district tourney. Egbert, Hillsdale, Veteran, Yoder, Sunrise, Glendo, Ft. Laramie, Rock River and University Preps all battled it out in Ft. Laramie two days prior to the start of the district gathering at Wheatland. Sunrise took top honors over Rock River while the host Pioneers took third place from Veteran.
The 16-team bracket started play the next day in Wheatland—qualifiers from the Ft. Laramie eliminator got a day’s rest—and all eyes were on undefeated LaGrange, which entered the tourney at 18-0. Burns was the top team from the East Laramie County Conference while Lingle took regular season honors in the North Platte Conference. LaGrange did make it to the finals but were squeezed out by Lingle in a two-point upset. North Platte Conference teams did well, as Glenrock took third, Guernsey fourth, and Ft. Laramie fifth. Pine Bluffs also nailed down the sixth seed and a trip to state.
In Laramie, the six Class B qualifiers found the going difficult. Longhorns LaGrange and Guernsey lasted all four days, the former losing to Shoshoni in the third place game and the latter dropping in overtime to Cowley for fourth place honors. Lingle and Glenrock lasted three days, winning their first game and losing the next two. Pine Bluffs and Ft. Laramie were two and done.
Cheyenne rode off with a Class A championship trophy and only Cody put up much of a challenge, that in the semis. Laramie and Wheatland lasted all four days as well, facing each other in the final game for consolation kudos. Laramie edged Wheatland by five points and took a measure of revenge for their loss to the Bulldogs at district. Lusk was two and done in the Gem City.

Rat Droppings***Not totally sure about the change in coaches. Supt. Ripley is mentioned at the first of the year. Carder is mentioned as coach when they headed to the tourney in Ft. Laramie. Possibly the supe did the job until he could find a suitable volunteer. All other Rock River teachers were female.

Northwest
Lovell breezed through the regular season, dropping its only conference game in their final game, a one-point loss at Worland. Heading into the district tourney at Cody, the Bulldogs were favorites as were the host Broncs and Worland, the Warriors sporting a 12-game win streak. Worland polished off Cody in the semis while Lander eked out a two-point upset win versus Lovell in the other semi. Worland took the championship a night later, with an easy win over the Tigers. Cody and Lovell won eliminator games and met for the Nos. 3 and 4 seeds and the Bulldogs won easily over the Broncs.
A week later at Greybull, 11 teams met for Class B bragging rights. Ten Sleep and Byron had the best records with only one loss apiece to Class B foes during the regular season. In the semifinals, Ten Sleep faced Cowley while Byron and Shoshoni squared off. Upsets occurred in both games as Cowley easily handled the Pioneers and Shoshoni won a one-point pants-wetter against Byron. Both Ten Sleep and Byron atoned with eliminator wins and the two schools battled for the Nos. 3 and 4 seeds with the Eagles winning. Cowley and Shoshoni’s game for the district title was a close one with the Jaguars winning by a basket.
The Big Horn schools fared well in Laramie at state. In Class A Lovell shook off its disappointing district result by attaining the championship game, losing to champion Cheyenne by seven.

Rat Droppings***Finding legit Class B standings can be difficult. The above one appeared in the Northwest Daily News, but has several things wrong with it, the first being the wins and losses don’t add up. Manderson won both its games their final weekend so tweaking that record to 2-10 helps a bit, getting the wins and losses to add up, that is. The final column is my doing, compiling what I’ve found. I’m still two losses short for Manderson, assuming their loss total is actually 10. I’m guessing I’m missing Manderson games with Deaver and Burlington that account for those losses, but that assumes the schools had home and away game scheduling. Such flights of fancy on my part are fun, but who knows if it’s correct?

Southwest
Green River was again the site for the Class A and Class B district tourney with Class B holding theirs during the final weekend of February. Fifth-place teams from the east and west sides of the conference were automatically out, so Big Piney and Medicine Bow were eliminated without playing a tourney game. In the eight-team bracket, Hanna, Lyman, Saratoga and Mt. View were winners in round one. Favorites Hanna and Mt. View made it to the finals while Lyman and Saratoga went to Saturday morning eliminators. Cokeville defeated Saratoga while Lyman polished off Pinedale. Lyman had an easy time of it in thethirdplace game, earning the berth in the state tourney as the No. 3 seed. Hanna surprised prognosticators with a four-point championship win over Mt. View.
The first weekend in March, the nine Class A teams squared off, the initial game a Wednesday eliminator between Jackson and Superior. (Actually Jackson wasn’t supposed to play at all, finishing last in the nine-team standings, but since Superior had split its season series with the Broncs, they generously offered to play an eliminator game that Superior won.) After Thursday’s play, favorite Evanston advanced into the semis along with Green River, Rock Springs and upstart Reliance (which had surprised with a win over Rawlins). The host team Wolves shocked Evanston in the semis and Rock Springs defeated Reliance. Evanston bounced back with a Saturday eliminator game win and then took the No. 3 state tourney seed from Kemmerer. Green River won the championship with a three-point win over Rock Springs.
At Laramie, Evanston, Green River and Rock Springs all won their first-round games. In fact, all three teams lasted four days with the Red Devils taking third place and the Wolves garnering fourth place in a win over Sweetwater County foe Rock Springs. Kemmerer lasted three days, winning only its second game. The three Class B SW teams all stuck around for four days, as Hanna lost a close game to Byron in the championship. Lyman and Mt. View both lost their openers but battled through to meet for the consolation championship three days later. The Eagles took a four-point win over the Buffalos.
