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 1952-1953 Season

1. Trouble in the AA ranks—This is a continuing story that still repeats itself at different levels/classifications dating from this particular hoops season to the present day, in one way or another for almost seven decades. The WHSAA’s continual headache—that is, which teams comprise a particular level of play—manifested first within the Big Five/AA ranks. The complaint came via coach Earl ‘Shadow’ Ray, the Casper Natrona head mentor. In mid-November he complained that having a state tourney with only five teams (Rawlins had moved down to Class A) was pointless when the quintet of teams had faced each other as many as four times during the regular season. He hinted that Casper, Rock Springs and Sheridan would forego the state tourney in protest and hoped for a change to a combined AA and A classification.

A few days later, Sheridan issued a press release saying that the Broncs would play in the upcoming AA tourney, and as members of the association, would abide by its rulings. However, there seemed to be a prevailing feeling to move several teams up to the AA ranks, an AA/A classification, similar to the way state champions were crowned prior to the beginning of the four-class system started in the 1951-52 season. Rawlins surprisingly favored that change—although their stint in the Big Six was as the perennial doormat—as long as other teams were brought up to face the other AA schools. (Rawlins qualified for the Class A state tourney later that year.)  WHSAA director James Jiacoletti issued the statement that no changes would happen during the 1952-53 season and that the tourneys would proceed as scheduled in Laramie (AA and C) and Powell  (A and B). [There was also some grumbling about having a Big Horn Basin community host half of the state tournaments.]

[Patrick Schmiedt and I will at times exchange views about this topic, most recently when the powers-that-be adopted the 16-16-16-rest for the 4A, 3A, 2A and 1A classifications. This writer favors a “Metro” division of 8 to 10 largest schools and feels that the half dozen smallest schools—those that round out the rest of the 16 in the 4A ranks—are essentially sacrificial lambs.]

2. In Class AA it’s Cheyenne again—It wasn’t as easy as in previous years but the Cheyenne Indians took another state championship when all was said and done. Cheyenne started the season against its usual menagerie of Colorado teams, posting a so-so 4-3 record. During the regular season three of their four Class AA opponents—Casper, Sheridan and Rock Springs—were able to post wins against the Indians. (Their regular season record versus AA teams was 9-3.) But Okie and crew found their rhythm in early February and cruised through the final month of competition unscathed.

3. Class AA All-State Tournament team—as selected by state tourney coaches
Cheyenne—Leo Waters, Jack Mitchell
Laramie—Ralph Barkey
Casper Natrona—Pat Biziar, Jerry McDowell, Jim Baker
Rock Springs—Willie Jackson, Bob Runyan
Sheridan—Homer Scott, Larry Zowada

4. Big Horn Basin all the way in Class A—The schools from the Big Horn Basin finished first, second and third at the state tournament in Powell. It was just a question of which team would finish in which place. Heavy favorite Thermopolis won the regular season championship as well as the sub-state with Worland earning the No. 2 seed. Lovell was an underachiever—sub-.500 during the regular season—but found a spark at sub-state, finishing third. That third seed placed Lovell in the bracket opposite Thermopolis and Worland, which proved huge for the Bulldogs. Lovell won two easy games into the finals to face Worland, which had upset Thermopolis (by three) in the semis. Lovell finished its underdog role with a five-point win over Worland for all the marbles, one of the most unlikeliest state champions ever.

5. Class A All-State Tournament team—as chosen by the state tourney coaches and officials
Lovell—Charles Wagner; Hugh Frame
Lusk—Dan Mangus
Rawlins—Jack Hornbeck
St. Mary’s—Dick Flaiz
Thermopolis—J. B. Roden; Don Campbell
Worland—Terry Eckhardt; Roger Hynek; Dick Harkins

6. Another Big Horn Basin winner in Class B—Many had Jackson pegged as the favorite, given their 20-win regular season and SW sub-state championship, although fellow SW schools Saratoga and Hanna each had matched or eclipsed the 20-win mark. Huntley and Glenrock were co-champions for the regular season in the SE, and Midwest was a surprise visitor to state. From the NW, Byron was a perennial state tourney entrant, but it was NW sub-state champion Shoshoni that took home the bacon when the dust settled in Powell. The Wranglers won two tough four-point games over Hanna and Huntley to make the finals, while Jackson breezed with easier wins over Glenrock and Midwest. Shoshoni had little trouble with the Broncs in the finals. Fellow Big Horn Basin school Byron finished in third place.

7. Class B All-State Tournament team—as chosen by the state tourney coaches and officials
Byron—Raymond Snell; Darwin Snell
Glenrock—Jack Lythgoe
Huntley—Dayton Raben; Harold Bassford
Jackson—Francis Gillette
Midwest—John Brooks
Shoshoni—Bert Slafter; Rupert Brockman; Bill Thoren

8. The Class C champion is Veteran—This marks the emergence of the SE corner of the state as a basketball hotbed of the smaller schools, which makes sense in that the overwhelming majority of the Class C schools were located there. Veteran didn’t hit its stride until late January, when at the time the Eagles were a game over the .500 mark. Their final six weeks were almost perfect—16-1—save for a loss to Class B Huntley. At the Laramie state tourney, their biggest foe was Dayton, which had posted a perfect record versus Wyoming competition, a gaudy 18-1 record. Dayton polished off Encampment and Chugwater to reach the finals while Veteran did likewise to Arvada and Albin. The Eagles won easily in the final game for their first state championship. Albin took third with a win over fellow SE foe Chugwater.

9. Class C All-State Tournment team—as selected by state tourney coaches
Albin—Donnie Clements
Arvada—Lloyd Malli
Chugwater—Rex Arnold
Dayton—Jim Ventling, Bill Russell, Roy Doke
Encampment—Francis Herring
Ten Sleep—Pat Godfrey
Veteran—Eugene Langwell, Simon Delgado

Northeast

Sheridan, fresh off its state football championship, was the stronger of the two NE Class AA schools, and many thought they’d provide the stiffest competition to unseat the Cheyenne dynasty. The problem was that the Broncs couldn’t solve Rock Springs. The Tigers held a 2-0 regular-season advantage heading into the state tourney in Laramie and won the semifinal game against Sheridan, sending them to the third-place game. In that game, the Broncs took honors by defeating Casper Natrona. Natrona had a tough end to the month of February, where it dropped six straight games prior to the state tourney. The Mustangs did win in an eliminator game with Laramie but finished the state tourney in Laramie with two losses.

In Class A, the three NE teams—Sundance moved to Class B competition—had a tough go of it. Newcastle was the Powder River Conference champion, but stumbled at Gillette’s NE/SE sub-state tourney, winning only one of three games.  The host Camels and Buffalo were two and done, which meant that the three state tourney seeds went to SE teams.

Upton dominated Class B play during the regular season but stumbled at Wheatland’s NE/SE sub-state tourney, winning only its first game. Sundance did likewise in No. 8 county, winning at first and then losing the next two contests. Only Midwest was able to qualify for the state tourney, dropping its semifinal game and taking the final seed with two eliminator wins. The Oilers surprised at the state tourney in Powell by winning their first game against Saratoga and giving Jackson a good run in their semifinal loss. A loss the next day eliminated Midwest from consolation honors.

Arguably the best basketball team from the NE was tiny Dayton in Class C. The Elks posted an undefeated Powder River Conference regular season and easily won the sub-state tourney in Gillette with three lopsided victories. Arvada—a Jekyll and Hyde sort of team during the regular season— finished second at sub-state. At the state tourney in Laramie, Arvada posted a 1-2 mark. Dayton made it all the way to the championship finals, losing by double digits—their only loss to a Wyoming team all year—to the champion, Veteran. The Elks finished the season with a nifty 20-2 record as state runners-up.

Southeast

Okie’s route to another state championship was somewhat more complicated than in previous years. Cheyenne’s early season in Colorado produced a so-so 4-3 record. The Indians then lost three road games to different Big Five foes in the Wyoming portion of their schedule. But Cheyenne found its mojo and finished the final six weeks of the season at 15-1, winning two easy games in Laramie for the AA crown.

In Class A, three southeast teams battled it out for supremacy. Torrington was the regular season champion, Lusk won the SE/NE sub-state tourney in Gillette while St. Mary’s had the best run at the state tourney in Powell, winning one of three games. (No NE teams qualified for state.) Lusk and Torrington hoopsters were two and done at state.

Class B saw Huntley and Glenrock tying for conference honors during the regular season, and it was no surprise to see the Cardinals and Sheepherders in the finals at the SE/NE sub-state tourney in Wheatland. Huntley took the sub-state title. The best of the rest in the SE were Guernsey and Pine Bluffs. The Longhorns lost in a consolation eliminator to Midwest, then the Hornets lost to the Oilers the following day. At the state tourney in Powell, Huntley put up a 2-2 record, while Glenrock was 1-2. (Midwest went 1-2, as well.)

The Class C champion was Veteran. There were a number of excellent SE teams. Albin was the cream of the East Laramie Conference, while Chugwater along with Hillsdale posted solid records during the regular season. At the SE sub-state tourney in Cheyenne, Veteran defeated Hillsdale in the semis while Chugwater did likewise to Albin by just a field goal. Albin battled back through the consolation eliminators, ousting Sunrise and Hillsdale to take the No. 3 seed and a trip to Laramie. Veteran took the sub-state title, and continued its run to the state title with three easy wins, the closest by six over Albin in the semis. Albin took third place, going 3-1 while Chugwater went 2-2, losing to Albin in the final game.

Northwest

With the Class AA teams out of the running for a Class A championship—soon to change in the next school year—the Big Horn Basin teams showed their strength with a first-, second- and third-place showing at the state A tourney in Powell. There’ll be more on that in a bit. During the regular season, no one truly challenged Thermopolis for conference honors and the Bobcats reigned not only tops in the Basin but in polls across the state. At the sub-state Class A tourney in Riverton, Thermopolis duplicated the regular season with a first-place finish with three solid wins. The closest was a six-point victory over Worland in the finals. Lovell surprised with a third-place finish bumping Cody (by two), host Riverton and Greybull to secure the No. 3 seed to state. At the state tourney, Lovell continued its winning ways to hang the championship banner, the final a win over Big Horn Basin foe Worland. Thermopolis, sent to the consolation round by Worland in the semis, bounced back to finish third, a sweep of the three state tourney trophies for the northwest.

For Class B play, conference champion Shoshoni squeaked by Byron in the sub-state final by a single point. The two teams represented the NW at the Powell state tourney and fared well. Shoshoni opened with two close victories over Hanna and Huntley and squared off against Jackson in the finals. Byron had an opening loss against Huntley but bounced back with three wins to take third, facing the Cardinals again and avenging the previous loss with an easy win. Shoshoni took all the marbles with a win over Jackson for the Wranglers’ first state championship.

In the Class C sub-state tourney at Greybull, it was no surprise that conference champion Ten Sleep took the only seed for the state tourney. Their road to state in Laramie was an easy one with lopsided wins over Morton and Burlington. In the Gem City, the Pioneers managed to stay for three days, posting a 1-2 record, losing their final game to eventual third-place winner Albin.

Southwest
With Rawlins moving to Class A competition, Rock Springs posted a fine season in Class AA, finishing second during regular season play and second at the state tourney in Laramie. Nemesis Cheyenne was its biggest obstacle to a state championship as the Tigers could only defeat the Indians once in five tries. In the championship finale, they stayed close but couldn’t unseat Okie Blanchard’s Indians.

In Class A competition, Star Valley and Reliance tied for championship honors during the regular season, and the Braves merited the tie-breaker for the first round bye at sub-state. Their inactivity on day one might’ve cost them as Rawlins upset them in the semis, which eliminated Star Valley to the consolation rounds. Only two teams would represent the SW at state and Rawlins squared off against Reliance for the No. 1 and 2 seeds. The two teams had split during the regular season and the Pirates won the rubber game by eight. Rawlins won a measure of revenge the follow weekend at state, eliminating Reliance in the consolation rounds. Reliance was 1-2 in Laramie while Rawlins finished at 2-2.

There were three powerhouses in the SW Class B ranks: Hanna, Saratoga and Jackson. Each school won over 20 games. Hanna was just a notch below the other two schools, playing them close, but ultimately finishing 0-4 against them during the regular season. At the Green River sub-state tourney, Jackson sent Hanna to the consolation rounds while Saratoga dispatched Mt. View. Hanna took third place the following day to earn the No. 3 seed and a trip to Powell. Saratoga and Jackson had split games during the regular season and Jackson took the sub-state championship, winning by six. Jackson had the best run at the state tourney, making it to the championship game before losing to Shoshoni. The two Carbon County schools disappointed, both finishing their stay in Powell with 0-2 records.

For Class C, Rock River surprised Encampment at the sub-state tourney in Green River. The Tigers had won both their regular-season games versus the Tigers but the Longhorns took the sub-state title. Both teams would compete in the state tourney at Laramie, but neither could post a win.
