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 1937-1938 season

1. A return to the Gem City—For the first time since the 1930-1931 season, the activities association held the State Tourney in Laramie. This was meant as no slight to the good folks of Casper, just a recognition by the group that the tourney should be held near UW every now and then, giving a chance for high school students from around the state to visit the university.  The Half Acre facility would be used for the gathering which used…

2. An altered State Tourney format—The format for this tourney would be different in that each team would play all four days, rather than double elimination. Eight games a day were played meaning no team ever competed in two games during one day. This allowed every team to place, so to speak, be it first, second, etc. all the way to 16th place. The only team not to win a game was hard-luck Buffalo, which apparently used up all their luck at the District #4 Tourney, finishing first there, but last in Laramie.

All eyes were on Okie Blanchard’s Natrona County Mustangs, winners of 26 games prior to State in his first year at the helm. Could he repeat the championship success that he’d had at Rock Springs? It turned out that Okie’s former team figured quite prominently in matters as Rock Springs dispatched Casper in the second round, on the Miners’ way to another state championship. Laramie faced Rock Springs—somewhat a surprise after a so-so regular season—in the finals, losing by ten. One of the Plainsmen was Kenny Sailors—eventually Wyoming’s most famous schoolboy/collegiate hoopster—who was in his junior year at Laramie High.

3. No play-in game—District #1 was accorded four spots for the state tournament. In previous years a play-in game for the 16th spot in the tourney bracket was held. Since it was usually won—handily—by the District #1 team over a District #3 team, four qualifiers would represent the SW corner of the state. All other districts, #2-A, #2-B, #3 and #4, would send the top three qualifiers. If anything, it was a nod to the excellence in the SW portion of the state where the best ball of the era was being played.

4. For girls hoops, the end is near—It was decided that girls basketball would be discontinued after this season. It came from a decision by the Wyoming Board of Athletic Control that would follow the National Women’s Amateur Athletic Union’s stance that competitive athletics “put too great a strain on the more delicate constitutions of girls and that by and large, such strenuous activity is more injurious than beneficial.” There had been pressure from several national organizations about women in sports and it was a polarizing debate. Many wanted the sport to continue—certainly many of the small towns in southeast Wyoming—but there was a vocal group that abhorred women competing in anything. For example, protests had been made about women competing in the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, so the anti-female athletic movement had been gathering influence for much of the decade.

September 1938 was deemed as the official end of girls’ athletics in the state. Class A schools were encouraged to not compete at all and the 37-38 season would be the final one for Class B schools. Most of the teams that showed up in Lingle for the 1938 tourney were indeed Class B schools, but there was one exception, Newcastle, which had Class A status but was able to schedule a number of games with teams from the northeast part of the state. Considering that just a couple of years earlier, Newcastle could find no NE schools to compete with, nine other NE schools—Arvada, Dayton, Clearmont, Gillette, Hulett, Ranchester, Rozet, Sundance and Upton—all fielded teams.  [Gillette was another Class A team but did not attend the State Tourney in Lingle.] Incredibly, just when the northeastern portion of the state was on board with the southeast for competing in girls basketball, it was cancelled.

Notwithstanding the atmosphere permeating the state as to girls hoops, it  was a perfect run for the Lingle ladies and Coach Monty Montague as they stormed through the regular season and the hometown State Tourney undefeated, a perfect run. Pine Bluffs was their competition in the finals, as the field of 18 teams, including four from the northeast, was narrowed down to two. Lingle won by a dozen points, as close as game as they’d experienced during the three-day tourney. If girls basketball had to end—well, or take an almost 40 years’ hiatus—Lingle’s run was a fitting cap to events prior to Title IX.

5. Rule changes—Until this season, after every field goal made, the ball was walked out to center court for a jump ball. This gave the teams with athletic centers quite the advantage and it was decided that possession of the ball should be given to the team that was just scored upon to have to in-bound.  Many coaches hated the change, decrying that the game would become too fast, and that players would be made too tired from the constant back and forth.  The basketball coach at Notre Dame complained that the new rule “penalizes” the good teams, since they “are forced to give up the ball after they have scored.”

1937-1938 NE District #4

The format was different for this year’s District #3 Tourney. Six teams had been designated as Class A teams through the season: Sheridan, Gillette, Buffalo, Sundance, Newcastle, and Midwest. [A and B standings were kept, definitely a first and also an improvement.] The top finishers in the Class B portion were Rozet and Upton and those two teams were added to the Class A bracket to determine the three representatives to send to Laramie. The other eight teams played in a separate Class B bracket. Buffalo, defeated four times during the regular season by archrival Sheridan, finally found the magic in the finals, upsetting the Broncs for first place and the #1 seed. Rozet overcame a round one loss to host Gillette and battled back to take the third spot, winning three straight. Hulett defeated Kaycee for the Class B honors. At state Sheridan took 9th, Rozet 14th and Buffalo 16th and District #4 was again shut out by the coaches for the 6th year in a row as no players received All-State Tourney honors again.

Rat Droppings***I’m not sure about which coach it is. I’m leaning toward Rickerd because I saw several mentions of his name in other papers, including a Sundance one where he had some acquaintances. However, for their pre-tourney edition, the Gillette paper had Thomas listed as head coach.

Rat Droppings***Gillette had a good season going until it was determined that they had been playing an ineligible player. It happened right before the District #4 tourney and it not only wiped 7 wins from their record, but threw off their chemistry at the tourney. They managed a win over an excellent Rozet team, but couldn’t find the magic in the next two rounds. As an added insult, Rozet, which had 23 students in their high school [a September count], battled back through the losers’ bracket to take the #3 seed to state, not quite the representative from Campbell County at the state tourney that everyone expected.

East Central

The biggest question in the East Central District was if Casper Natrona’s new coach, Okie Blanchard, would bring the first of many basketball championships to the Oil City, much like he did at his previous stop, Rock Springs. The Mustangs impressed during the regular season, dropping four games to Wyoming competition (three if you ignore a split-squad loss to Torrington) and they did likewise at the District #2-B tourney in Douglas, winning four easy games, the closest one to Torrington in the final game for #1 seed. Douglas enjoyed the host role, taking the #3 seed from Lingle. [If I read the scores correctly, Lingle was playing their 3rd game that day of their final game which might’ve accounted for the lopsidedness of the score.]

At the State Tourney in Laramie, Rock Springs gained a measure of revenge against their former coach with a win over Casper in the quarterfinals. The Mustangs finished with three wins and 4th place, outshined by Torrington whose three wins garnered 3rd place. Douglas won one game and settled for 12th place.

Rat Droppings***The two split squad games at Lusk and at Torrington were played by Casper’s JV. I hesitate to count them in the season record, but Coach Okie did, from the time they were contested. Who am I to argue with one of Wyoming’s greatest coaches, but I will and will ignore the split squad contests.

Southeast

One can actually see more conference-styles of scheduling as the end of the 30s draws near. Well, the East Laramie Conference had been around for all of the 30s, with Albin, Burns, Carpenter, Egbert, Hillsdale and Pine Bluffs as members. With the designation of only Class B teams being allowed to field girls’ teams, a new group of six schools formed the South Conference of Class B District #2-A (the North was in 2-B) of Chugwater, Hawk Springs, Huntley, LaGrange, Veteran and Yoder. [Each team played 5 home and 5 away games—which makes it easy to see which games I’m missing results from.] They even had conference championships, crowning Yoder as the winner for the males and Hawk Springs for the females. Yoder met the north boys champion Guernsey and lost, a few days before the 2-A District tourney.

At District, the big question was always the same, which team would take the 3rd spot, accompanying Laramie and Cheyenne who both breezed through the early rounds of the Cheyenne-hosted gathering with easy wins. The two large schools split their regular season games and Laramie took the rubber match from Cheyenne in the finals. Little Egbert upset Wheatland for the coveted third spot, and even won a game at state, finishing 15th. Laramie was runner-up to the champs from Rock Springs and Cheyenne bounced back from an opening round loss to take 5th as consolation champs.

Northwest

Twenty teams participated in the District #3 Tourney, held in Greybull’s new high school gym. Ten Class A teams—Basin, Cowley, Cody, Lovell, Thermopolis, Worland, Greybull, Lander, Riverton, and Powell—participated in the 16 team bracket along with Class B teams Burlington, Gebo, Ft. Washakie, Manderson, Byron, and Ethete. Four non-qualifying Class B teams played in a mini-bracket—Ten Sleep, Meeteetse, Shoshoni, and Deaver—which was won by Shoshoni.

Lovell breezed through the regular season undefeated by Big Horn Basin competition and did likewise in the bigger bracket, sweeping four easy games, cinching the #1 seed to State in the finals versus Worland. Basin overcame a semi-final loss to Worland and won the #3 seed and a trip to Laramie with a close win over Powell. At the State Tourney, each seed won two games in Laramie with Lovell dropping a heart-breaking two-point loss to eventual champion Rock Springs in the semis. Lovell finished in 6th place, Worland 8th, and Basin 13th.

Rat Droppings***The mine at Gebo was closed at the end of January.  A mass exodus of Gebo resulted with many of the scheduled games of February not being played—at least that’s this scribe’s guess. It wasn’t a temporary closure, like the Sunrise mine often suffered through, this was a total shutdown, with usable mining equipment being hauled away. The Miners made a good showing in Greybull at the season-ending tourney, dropping two reasonably close contests. Several sports pages wondered aloud if this would be Gebo’s athletic swan song.

Rat Droppings***Thermopolis played an ineligible player in mid-January, apparently a transfer who began competition with the team at the end of the first semester. He didn’t play in the Byron game and he was removed from the team after the Gebo game. The Thermopolis paper never mentioned the forfeits, just that his eligibility was under review. Only the Riverton paper mentioned anything about forfeits.

Southwest

Losing Okie Blanchard to Casper Natrona didn’t deter Rock Springs from another state championship. Former assistant Walter Dowler stepped in admirably to the head coaching position. Rock Springs lost twice to in-state opponents, a one point loss to Laramie and a two point loss to Hanna in the District #1 finals. The Tigers shined in Laramie, winning four straight, the closest a two point squeaker over Lovell in the semis. District tourney champion Hanna finished 7th (2 wins), Green River 10th(2), and Star Valley 11th(1) at state, a reasonable showing, although maybe not quite worthy of District #1 being granted a fourth representative at state. All other districts were allowed only three representatives.

In the Class B portion of the District #1 tourney, Mountain View defeated Big Piney in an 8-team bracket.
