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 1950-51 Season
1. Regional Play—Things were tweaked for the state tournament as only eight teams in each class could qualify to attend. There was normal district play in each quarter of the state, which was followed by a regional the weekend before state tourney play started. The top four teams from the northwest and southwest met in Powell while the northeast and southeast squared off in Sheridan. Four of the eight teams from each regional then made the trip to the Big Dance in Laramie.
2. Class B Southeast—The plethora of Class B teams—as many as 21 in previous district tourneys—from the southeast corner of the state was tweaked to a more manageable 16 by a number of moves. Rock River had been moved to southwest play a year earlier, University Prep became a Class A school, and the three northernmost teams were moved to the northeast for district tourney play. Those three teams—Glenrock, Glendo and Manville—played within their usual North Platte Conference during the regular season but faced northeast schools for district play.
3. Back to War—The police action in Korea meant that high school boys who turned 18 during their senior year had the chance of being drafted into the Korean conflict. Various groups, many led by mothers, took the strong stance that high school seniors should be allowed to complete their senior year prior to being drafted. Generally, the senior class was allowed to complete their studies, although that wouldn’t be the case the following year.
4. Another One for Okie—As he often did, Cheyenne mentor Okie Blanchard took advantage of his school’s closeness to front range high schools in Colorado and scheduled nine December games with prep teams from the Centennial State. It wasn’t until the first weekend in January that the Indians played a Wyoming school. They did drop games to Rawlins and Green River on a February road trip and won one-point games over Casper Natrona and Laramie, but their road to the state championship was an easy one, all things considered. Cheyenne breezed through the district tourney at Wheatland, easily handled foes at the regional in Sheridan, and won three straight in Laramie to hang the state championship banner.
5. A Team Other Than Byron—Byron was still a factor in the northwest corner of the state, tied for second (with Deaver) finishing the conference schedule with two losses more than Cowley. However the Jaguars were the reigning six-man football state champions and given the fact that the Class B champ had been a northwest team since the mid-1940s, Cowley was a top pick to take it all. Cowley did make it to the finals where they were surprised by Hanna. The Miners barely made it to state taking the fourth seed at district, but found their mojo at state, polishing off Byron in the semis and blowing out the Jags in the grand finale.

8. Burns vs Egbert—One of the oddest games ever played in Wyoming was turned in by the Egbert Bulldogs and the Burns Broncs. It was played in early February in Burns. Both teams had exactly five men with no reserve players available. At the end of the third quarter a Burns player fouled out. According to the Wyoming State Tribune, “In a sportsmanlike gesture, Egbert pulled one of their players to make things even, and everyone was happy—for a moment.” Another Bronc fouled out and Egbert again benched one of their players, “to make things even-stephen.” A third Burns player then fouled out and Egbert pulled another man. This left only two men on the floor for each team with 2 and a half minutes left.
Regulation time ended with the teams tied at 35-all and Burns managed a point in the extra session to win the game. Egbert could’ve played five versus two, but chose not to do so. And Egbert could’ve used the win, as they had recorded one win to that date. But Coach Roy Gayman opted to play in the spirit of sportsmanship.
9. Pinedale at Lyman—An article from Pinedale’s school paper, The Wrangler, was reprinted in the Pinedale Roundup in late February. The author apparently felt that Lyman had benefitted from “home cookin” in their 37-30 win over the visiting Wranglers. One of the two referees was a Lyman teacher which was odd, considering that Lyman had asked for out-of-town officials (and got them) when they visited Pinedale in late January. As the game began, many of Pinedale’s shots were waved off by an overabundance of traveling calls. The game was stopped three times for scores by Pinedale that were not added to the scoreboard. Young fans in the balcony began shining flashlights into the eyes of Wranglers during free throws and the clock kept running for free throws and jump balls. Spit flew from the balcony as well. Pinedale coach Cappie Cappellan remarked only “that the players were good and behaved themselves according to the unwritten law of sportsmanship.” The writer ended by saying “officials and students of the host high school had lost that important value.”

Northeast
In Class A the biggest question was whether any team could compete with Casper Natrona for district honors. The Mustangs waited again until February before there were any answers, scheduling all but one of their district games then. By tourney time in Gillette, none of the six other teams had mounted much opposition. The host Camels did play the Mustangs close in the semis losing by one, but Casper took the No. 1 northeast seed for the East Regional easily over Sheridan on Saturday night. Midwest surprised Gillette in a morning eliminator game and lost to Newcastle in the game for the No. 3 and 4 seeds. Two weekends later in Sheridan, only Casper Natrona qualified for state finishing second to Cheyenne (and 0-5 to the Indians for the season.) Newcastle and Midwest were eliminated with 0-2 records, while Sheridan lasted all three days, losing to Laramie in a Saturday eliminator.
Platte River teams Glenrock, Glendo and Manville were added to the Powder River Class B draw, making a twelve-team bracket. All three squads fared well versus northeast competition, in spite of their sub-.500 records heading into the doings at Gillette and each lasted all four days of competition. The cream of the crop, however, was Big Horn which defeated Glenrock in the semis, while Dayton took care of Ranchester. Big Horn and Dayton staged a classic championship and the Rams eked out a one-point win. Glenrock eliminated Glendo while Ranchester did likewise to Manville in the Saturday morning eliminators and the Sheepherders easily handled Rustlers in the fight for No. 3 and 4 seeds. At the East Regional in Sheridan, the southeast reigned supreme, with Lingle and Pine Bluffs taking the first and second seeds for state. Big Horn made the cut by defeating northeast-Johnny-come-lately Glenrock for the No. 3 seed.
At the State Tourney in Laramie, Casper Natrona took third place in Class A after an opening round loss to eventual runners-up Lovell. Big Horn also took third place in Class B competition, while Glenrock went 0-2.

Rat Droppings***There might’ve been bad blood between Big Horn and Clearmont, as the two nearby (for Wyoming) schools only met once at the Clearmont Invitational. Normally the two schools would play home and home conference pairings during the regular season.

Southeast
Class A
The Southeast (Platte River) District had a couple of notable changes from the previous year. University Prep moved up to Class A play, which made that district a full eight-team bracket come tourney time. Class B was reduced to 16 teams and the three northernmost teams—Glenrock, Glendo and Manville—would play in the Northeast (Powder River) District tourney. [The Rat has listed those three teams as SE teams, however, since they played full conference schedules against their usual North Platte Conference foes: Ft. Laramie, Guernsey, Lingle, and Sunrise.]
In Class B, the three strongest teams were conference champs Pine Bluffs, Lingle, LaGrange and Huntley (the last two were co-champs). Playing in Cheyenne, three of those teams made the semis—Pine, Lingle and Huntley—along with surprise Hawk Springs. Lingle repeated as district champion with a finals win over Hawk Springs. Huntley finished third with a win over Pine Bluffs. The following weekend those four placing teams met in Sheridan for the East Regional tourney against the top four from the NE—Big Horn, Dayton, Glenrock and Ranchester, the top four advancing to the state tourney in Laramie. Huntley faced Lingle and Glenrock squared off with Pine Bluffs in the semis, with Lingle and Pine Bluffs advancing to the finals. Glenrock won a Saturday morning eliminator but then lost to Big Horn in the third- and fourth-place pairing. Lingle won the regional easily over Pine Bluffs.
In Class A, Cheyenne had little problem with the rest of the SE District field, winning three lopsided games to take the championship. Laramie was the runner-up while Lusk narrowly defeated host Wheatland in the third- and fourth-place game. At the Class A East Regional in Sheridan, Lusk met Cheyenne while Casper Natrona faced Laramie in the semis. The two largest schools in the state easily won their way into the finals, and the Indians dispatched the Mustangs in the title game. Laramie and Lusk battled for the No. 3 and 4 seeds with the Plainsmen winning handily over the Tigers.
At the state tourney the east shined in Class A but in Class B, the west took the top spots. Cheyenne won Okie Blanchard another state crown with only one difficult game, a four-point semifinal win over Rawlins. The Indians’ title game win was a 48-37 breeze versus Lovell. Casper Natrona finished in third after an opening round overtime loss to Lovell. [Consolation winners faced semifinal losers so third place was possible in that format.] Both Lusk and Laramie were 0-2 in Laramie. For Class B, the best showing was by Big Horn and Pine Bluffs as the schools battled for the third place trophy. The Rams avenged an East Regional loss to the Hornets by winning, 57-46. Glenrock and Lingle were 0-2 in the Gem City.

Rat Droppings***A local news-gatherer referred to Egbert as Golden Prairie/Egbert, certainly the first use of the moniker that the Rat has run across since the 1931-32 hoops season. [The Rat is also not sure why the Bulldogs played Hillsdale three times. Other conference teams played three times against each other but usually the mid-season tourney was the reason, not the case here. Or it could be the local reporter might’ve reported the wrong opponent, always a possibility with information channels outside of the school.]

Northwest
The Northwest Class A district tourney in Lander shook out like the standings. Double-digit conference winners Lovell, Cody, Worland and Thermopolis made it through to the semis. Worland upset Lovell in Friday’s play while Cody won a one-point squeaker over Thermopolis. Exiled to Saturday eliminator games, both Lovell and Thermopolis won by narrow margins to square off for third and fourth places. The Bulldogs easily won over the Bobcats to settle that matter. Cody easily defeated Worland to cop the district championship.
In Class B, the 11 teams were divided into northern and southern conferences for the regular season. Perennial contender Cowley took the north while Shoshoni reigned in the south. In district play at Greybull, three of four northern teams made it through to the semis: Cowley, Byron and Deaver along with southern foe Shoshoni. Cowley defeated Byron while Shoshoni did likewise to Deaver. Deaver and Byron redeemed themselves in the morning eliminator games and Deaver took third with an easy win over Byron. Cowley took the district championship, defeating Shoshoni.
At the first-ever regional in Powell, Cody and Lovell made it to the semis on the top half of the bracket while Rock Springs and Rawlins did the same on the bottom. Cody and Rawlins won the Friday night games over their district foes. Rock Springs and Lovell battled through tight eliminator games the next day to contest the No. 3 and 4 seedings. The Bulldogs won easily over the Tigers. Cody polished off Rawlins for the regional championship honors. In Class B, the northwest teams all made the semis where Byron handled Shoshoni and Cowley bested Deaver. Shoshoni battled through to the third- and fourth-place game, facing and defeating Hanna. Cowley easily won regional honors over Byron, their fourth win over the Eagles for the season.
At state the west shined, with Hanna taking the Class B championship over Cowley while Byron and Shoshoni both posted 1-2 records over the three days. In Class A Lovell finished second and Rock Springs lost in the battle for third place. Rawlins and Cody both posted 1-2 records.

Southwest
It was anybody’s guess which teams would emerge out of the Class A tourney in Green River. The regular season standings made the home team a slight favorite but both Rock Springs and Rawlins had January home wins versus the Wolves. The opening day Rawlins was eliminated from championship contention with a first-round loss to Superior. The Dragons drew Rock Springs in one semifinal and a Green River/Kemmerer pairing was the other. The two largest Sweetwater County schools both won to set up a Tigers/Wolves championship final. Rawlins won two eliminator games, squared off with Superior for the third/fourth place seeds, and the Outlaws avenged their Thursday loss to Superior. Rock Springs won district final with a surprising eight-point win margin.
Two class B teams ruled the southwest during the regular season, Hanna and Saratoga. Hanna took both regular season games from the Panthers and the schools were ranked as the No. 1 and 2 east seeds heading into district play in Rock Springs, followed by No. 3 Baggs and No. 4 Rock River. The best of a weak set of west schools was Lyman with Pinedale a close second. The east schools won three of four games as only Pinedale could find a W (over Baggs). In the semis, Hanna sent Pinedale to the eliminator round while Saratoga did the same to Rock River. Baggs and Pinedale eventually squared off for the No. 3 and 4 seeds, a rematch that the Rattlers won. Hanna took the district title over Saratoga.
In the West A Regional at Powell, Rawlins made it into championship game, losing to Cody. Rock Springs also qualified for state finishing fourth with a loss to Lovell in the fight for the No. 3 seed. All the SW B teams lost their openers to Big Horn Basin teams. The northwest schools swept the top three seeds and only Hanna managed to qualify, finishing fourth. At State Class A, Rock Springs made it to the third-place game, losing to Casper Natrona. Rawlins was 1-2 at state. In State Class B, Hanna atoned for their moribund showing at the regional, winning three in a row on their way to the state championship. Their finals win was a lopsided victory over perennial contender Cowley—the first banner from a SW team since the mid-1940s—stopping a streak of four consecutive championships from Big Horn Basin small schools.

Rat Droppings***This is just an educated guess, but I believe the games versus Star Valley were the Broncs’ final games for this particular season. It sure appears like they folded the tent after that and a view of the SW standings late in the year had them at 0-16. The Rawlins paper called the two games at the end of February as forfeits. Actually, if the guess is true, this isn’t the first time that Jackson bagged their season mid-campaign as they did so in 1948-49, too.

Rat Droppings***I had the mascot name for Elk Mountain as the Cowboys, based on an article I found the previous year. An article in the Rawlins paper called them the Mountaineers, which seems better to me, given that high schools around the state avoided the Cowboy moniker, as a nod to the UW teams.
