Noteworthy Events of the 1960-1961 Season
1. An Okie-less championship—It had been during the ’55-’56 season that Cheyenne had last won a state basketball championship, not that long of a gap but seemingly eons to fans of the perennial contender. Cheyenne Central, in its first year with that moniker, did the trick, losing only one game along the way to a 26-win season. Sheridan was the Indians’ biggest challenge, making it to the championship finals for the third straight season. Star Valley was the best from the SW, but dropped a close semifinal game to Sheridan and settled for third place. Several Big Horn Basin teams got love from pollsters during the regular season, and Lander played the best during tourney time. The Tigers lost to Central in the semifinals, then bowed to Star Valley on the final day. For the Indians, it was the first championship without Okie Blanchard at the helm since Walt Dowler coached the Indians to the 1942 state banner.

3. Perfection again in Class B—It wasn’t St. Stephens that turned the trick this time, but University Prep won 26 straight to get the job done. Prep had finished second three years running, the last two as bridesmaids to St. Stephens. The Buckaroos first defeated St. Stephens in December, ending the Eagles’ record run of 46 straight victories. And Prep was dominant in 23 of its 26 games, winning those by double digits. Only Glenrock (by four points), Pine Bluffs (by eight) and Cokeville (by seven) managed to keep the difference below 10 points. Pavillion, second to St. Stephens in the Big Horn Basin, Superior in the SW and Moorcroft in the NE were all in Prep’s way to the championship. Moorcroft stumbled first at state, losing to Cokeville. St. Stephens handled Pavillion in the semis while University Prep stopped Cokeville. In the finals, Prep manhandled St. Stephens by 30 points to take first. The win marked Coach Lloyd McCullough’s second state championship.

Pavillion—Richard Groathouse
St. Stephens—Al Spoonhunter; Ducky Goggles
Superior—Jerry Torres; Don Mattinson
University Prep—Gary Rowe; Bob Steen
5. Four in a row—SE powerhouse LaGrange added its fourth consecutive championship banner to their gymnasium wall. For Coach Ron Schliske, who took the head coach job after Ron Perich’s troops won the initial title beginning in the ’58-’59 season, it marked three years of almost complete dominance. Schliske’s three championship teams posted a combined 68-1 record versus Class C competition during that time span. As usual, the Longhorns’ major challenge came from SE area teams for the ’60-’61 campaign. Carpenter was the East Laramie County champion and dropped three games to LaGrange along the way. Yoder was Goshen Hole Conference runners-up to LaGrange and did make the championship finals at state, surprising Carpenter in the semis. Hawk Springs also figured into things at state, winning a play-in game before bowing in its opener.

11. Morton recruiting scandal—This incident was a football season occurrence, but the reverberations played out during the basketball season and was certainly the WHSAA’s biggest newsmaker of the school year. A protest was filed by Fremont Valley Vocational High School against Morton High School for trying to recruit players from Lander to play football for the Broncs. Five Lander boys—Native American youths, according to newspaper accounts— were told by two Morton coaches they’d be eligible to play for Morton after two days’ residence in the Morton district. The boys were also offered transportation to and from school. Three of the five boys did go to Morton and checked out football gear, however most eventually returned to Lander. Only one ever became a varsity performer.
A representative from the State Department of Education investigated the charges and reported to Lander school officials that there was evidence of “undue influence.” The Lander superintendent ordered a follow-up investigation by the WHSAA naming two Big Horn Basin principals to check out the protest. However, although Lander felt there was “evidence that the protest was valid,” the WHSAA decided to table the matter. The protest had been disallowed. Lander received a sternly worded letter from the WHSAA saying to “inform your school personnel of the seriousness of exerting undue influence on boys in another school district, or of asserting undue influence to retain boys who wish to attend another school so that this thing may not happen again.” In other words, FCVHS was made the scapegoat for pointing out the potential questionable actions of the Morton coaches.
The Lander superintendent, Dr. John W. Reng, was livid. Headlines in the sports sections had him calling the WHSAA a “jellyfish association.” He contended that the board by its action “just wanted to save its own face by backing out and trying to blame Lander High School.” Adding to the brouhaha was the fact that WHSAA executive secretary, R. C. Schafer, had been superintendent at Morton before becoming head of the WHSAA.
12. Bricklayer—At the state tourney in Laramie, Lovell player Dick Stevens pumped a shot from the corner that hit the rim and the backboard at the same time. It completely shattered the glass board and halted the game, which was eventually transferred to the University Prep gym. Bulldog Stevens found the Prep gym more to his liking and finished with a game-leading 19 points. Lovell bested Casper Natrona 65-58 that day to head into the consolation semifinals.
13. Prep’s quest for 20—The Rat’s not sure exactly why, but the quest for 20 regular-season wins was of utmost importance to University Prep’s regular season record. Sunrise had scrapped its trip to Laramie on Feb. 18 due to icy roads. The Miners expected the game to be cancelled and certainly didn’t forward any hint that they were forfeiting the game, rather they expected a postponement. Time to reschedule was quite narrow as the week of Feb. 20-25 was the final week of the season and the Miners were already scheduled to play on the Feb. 24 and 25. The WHSAA was called in to rule and awarded the Buckaroos a forfeit victory. Sunrise tied with Pine Bluffs for last in the Texas Trail but was the beneficiary of a coin flip to be the No. 7 seed at the SE district tourney, thus avoiding a rematch with University Prep. The Miners were surprisingly able to qualify for state tourney.

Northeast
Sheridan continued its stretch of three consecutive finals appearances, losing to Cheyenne Central at state. The Broncs started December slowly, then rattled off a then-school record 22 straight victories. Sheridan’s appearance in the finals surprised many hoops pollsters who never rated the Broncs higher than third all season long. Natrona suffered through a disappointing season, and certainly the highlight for the Mustangs was their road win over Cheyenne Central, the Indians’ only blemish on their 26-1 championship season. Casper did make the state tourney, but was through by the end of play Thursday.
Newcastle was the best of the NE Class A schools, handling Buffalo and Gillette easily during the regular season and then dispatching Natrona to consolation play at district. The Dogies dropped their third game of the season to Sheridan in the district finals in Buffalo. Gillette surprised host Buffalo in a double overtime consolation game to merit a state tourney visit, ending up as the No. 4 NE seed. Newcastle and Gillette suffered first-round losses in Laramie, then faced one another in consolation play. The Dogies won that game (eliminating the Camels) but lost on Friday versus Rawlins, exiting with a 1-2 mark.
Moorcroft was easily the regular-season champion of the Powder River Class B teams, losing only one conference game. Midwest and Upton finished tied for second in the conference. At district play in Buffalo, the three top teams made the semifinals along with Hulett. Moorcroft dispatched the Red Devils while Midwest did likewise to Upton, setting up an Oiler/Wolves district championship. Moorcroft took first with a win over Midwest, the Wolves’ third win of the season over the Oilers. Upton redeemed itself in consolation play, copping third place. At state, Moorcroft earned a bye as district champ. Both Midwest and Upton won their openers, but then lost their second games, exiting Laramie with 1-1 marks. Moorcroft dropped its first game to Cokeville, as the first-round bye helped little, if at all, and headed home with an 0-1 mark.
Class C Ten Sleep was again included in the four-team NE district bracket, and the Pioneers captured their third district championship in four years. Clearmont had won the regular-season Powder River crown and finished second to Ten Sleep, losing in the finals by 20. Both teams earned a trip to Laramie for the state tourney. Clearmont managed the only non-SE win in the first round, besting Hawk Springs. Unfortunately, the Panthers faced defending state champion LaGrange in the semis and lost. On Saturday, Clearmont lost to Carpenter in the third-place game. Ten Sleep lost its state tourney opener to LaGrange but then bounced back with two wins to cop consolation honors.

Southeast
Cheyenne Central ripped off 16 straight victories to begin the season, stumbled once versus Natrona, then won 10 more in a row to take the AA/A state championship. The Indians were rated atop the state’s polls all season long. Laramie and Cheyenne East both had difficult seasons, especially the T-Birds in their initial campaign where they won only two games against Wyoming competition. Neither of the two teams made it to the state tourney.
Class A Wheatland and Douglas tied for regular-season honors in the SE, and at the district tourney in Torrington, Douglas gained the championship final with wins over Lusk and the hosts. The Bearcats kept the spread just under double digits against Central, one of the few teams to do so all season. Wheatland finished third at district while Torrington was the No. 4 seed. At state, both Torrington and Douglas were two and done, while Wheatland lasted one more day, sending the Bearcats packing on Thursday, a measure of revenge for the two rivals.
University Prep was absolutely perfect, casting aside their bridesmaid’s role of three straight runners-up finishes with a pair of resounding wins over St. Stephens, their Class B nemesis. The Buckaroos ended St. Stephens then-record 46-game win streak in December and cruised to run the table on the season, a 26-0 mark, pounding the Eagles by 30 in the finale. Coach Lloyd McCullough’s record in a six-year span of state tourneys from ’56 to ’61 included two state championships and five state finals appearances. Glenrock and Sunrise also represented the Texas Trail at state. Both suffered first-round losses but won their second game to square off in the consolation finals, won by Glenrock, the Herders’ fourth win of the year versus the Miners.
SE Class C schools swept the top three places at the state tourney. LaGrange and Carpenter were the regular-season champions of the two SE conferences with both teams posting perfect marks against the competition. The two champs met in the finals of district play in Torrington as expected, and the Longhorns posted their third win of the year over the Coyotes. Yoder finished third at district and Hawk Springs, loser of the third-place game, was offered a play-in game versus Medicine Bow to fill out the eight-team state tourney bracket. The Hawks won that game but then exited Laramie with two straight losses. LaGrange defeated Clearmont in one semifinal while Yoder surprised Carpenter in the other. Yoder topped Clearmont in the third-place game while LaGrange bested Yoder for its fourth straight state championship.

Northwest
The top four Class A teams in the Big Horn Basin staged a familiar battle for conference bragging rights. Lovell managed to tie Worland on the final day of the regular season by defeating the Warriors and assured the Bulldogs a tie for the Big Horn Basin crown. At the district tourney in Powell, the top four seeded teams all met in the semis with Lander upsetting Lovell and Worland besting Thermopolis. Lovell and Thermopolis won Saturday morning eliminators and the Bobcats took the third-place game by three over the Bulldogs. Lander continued its hot play and handily polished off Worland for the district championship. At state, Lander fared best. The Tigers made it to the championship semis, lost to eventual champ Cheyenne Central, then dropped the third-place game to Star Valley. Lovell dropped its opener to Cheyenne Central as well, then won its next three games to cop consolation honors. Thermopolis and Worland exited Laramie with 1-1 marks, winning their opener then losing their quarterfinal pairing.
Although a December meeting at University Prep ended their state-record 46-game win streak, St. Stephens had another pristine run through Class Big Horn Basin regular season play, continuing a streak of 43 straight wins over conference foes dating back to January 1959. That success continued at the district tourney in Cody when the Eagles defeated Pavillion in the championship. Shoshoni garnered third place as the southern part of the conference swept the three seeds for the state tourney. In Laramie, the St. Stephens Eagles again met University Prep in the finals and this time finished second to the Buckaroos. Pavillion easily won its opener, but had the bad luck to face St. Stephens in the quarterfinals, where they played valiantly in a double-overtime thriller, their fourth loss of the season to the Eagles. Shoshoni ended up two and done in Laramie.
Class C Ten Sleep mostly played a Class B schedule as a member of the southern portion of the Big Horn Basin Conference. Playing that tough slate of teams no doubt helped the Pioneers during district play when they swept both games at the NE/NW district in Buffalo to cinch the championship. At state, Ten Sleep had the misfortune to open against defending (and again eventual) champion LaGrange. That game they lost but the Pioneers bounced back to take consolation honors, leaving Laramie with a consolation trophy and a 2-1 state tourney record.

Southwest
It was a down year for the two SW Class AA schools. Both Rawlins and Rock Springs qualified for the state tourney after finishing behind Star Valley. Rock Springs finished third in regular-season play and took the No. 3 seed in district play, the first time the Tigers hadn’t qualified as SW first or second since 1947. Rawlins made the finals at district then lost its third game of the season to Star Valley. At state, Rock Springs won its opener but dropped its quarterfinal game—to Star Valley—and exited play on Thursday. Rawlins lasted all four days. An opening-round loss was followed by two consolation victories. However, the Outlaws lost in the consolation championship to Lovell.
Class A Star Valley breezed through the regular season with a perfect mark against conference foes—23 wins in a row overall— then won the district championship in Green River with two wins, the finale in a close one versus Rawlins. The Braves couldn’t oust Cheyenne Central from the top of the statewide polls, but still were rated as the No. 2 team in the state for much of the year. Evanston was the other Class A team to represent the SW at state, as the Red Devils finished as the No. 4 seed. At state, Evanston won its first game, then lost its second one to eventual champ Cheyenne Central. Star Valley lasted all four days in Laramie. The Braves made it to the semifinals, then lost to finalist Sheridan. On Saturday, Star Valley defeated Lander for third place.
Class B Cokeville and Superior finished first and second in regular-season play and didn’t disappoint in SW district competition as the two teams met in the finals. Although Superior had dropped both games to Cokeville during conference play, the Dragons took the district championship quite handily. Mt. View surprised many with a third place SW district finish, playing its best ball in March after a lackluster January and February. At state, both Cokeville and Superior lasted all four days. The Panthers won their opener and quarterfinal games, then lost to eventual champion University Prep in the semis. Superior had a day one bye, then won a quarterfinal game and lost to defending champion St. Stephens in the semis. The two rivals squared off in the third place game, won easily by Superior. Mt. View was two and done in the Gem City.
In Class C, Encampment was the cream of the half dozen SW small-school teams. The Tigers took the regular-season crown and followed it with a SW district championship in Saratoga, edging Farson-Eden in a tight game. Medicine Bow surprised many with a third-place finish as many assumed second seed Elk Mountain to figure into things. But the Wranglers bested the Cowboys for the first time all season when it counted most. Medicine Bow was granted a play-in game against Hawk Springs where the winner would fill out the eight-team bracket for state tourney play. Hawk Springs prevailed and Bow’s season ended with the loss. Both Encampment and Farson dropped their state tourney openers against SE teams and squared off against each other in the consolation semis. Encampment defeated Farson for the fourth time in the season and sent the Pronghorns home. On Saturday, the Tigers lost in the consolation championship to Ten Sleep in a close one.
