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 1940-1941 Season

1. No Okie, so who wins — The state’s best prep coach, C. H. ‘Okie’ Blanchard, stepped away from high school coaching and began his career as head coach/athletic director of the UW Cowboys. His time on the sidelines at Laramie lasted just one season where the Pokes started with a 1-0-1 record for the initial games of the season but finished with seven straight losses.

Okie’s absence left the door wide open for the several teams, including Cheyenne in the SE, Casper and Midwest from the NE, Lovell in the Big Horn Basin, and Superior from the SW. But the championship final came down to the teams from Rock Springs and Laramie. The Tigers’ Walter Dowler and the Plainsmen’s Floyd Foreman were the only coaches since 1932 other than Okie to win state championships, Foreman in ’33 and ’34 and Dowler in ’38. Rock Springs won Dowler’s second championship with a six-point win over Laramie.

2. And the Class B honors — All sportswriters’ eyes were focused on the tremendous season posted by Rozet in the NE. The Mustangs posted a 22-1 record against a balanced slate of games between Class A and Class B competition. Their only loss (a 14-7 football score to Class A Newcastle) was avenged handily a week later. Rozet took first-place honors at the District #4 tourney, but in Casper lost a one-point first round game to eventual champion, Lingle, and were eliminated the following day. Lingle was somewhat of a surprise as the Bulldoggers didn’t really gel until the first week of February sporting a 5-6 record. The Doggers went 14-1 after that, winning the North Platte postseason tourney, finishing second to Chugwater at the District #2 tourney and winning three games at state by a total of six points.

3. Altered format at tourney, two and out — The past tradition of awarding placings for all 16 Class A teams and all eight Class B was changed. A team could fall to consolation play after an initial loss, but were eliminated after their second loss. The result of this meant there were fewer games to stage, certainly a big consideration when both classes were playing at the same venue. 

4. Switch to metal, fan-shaped backboards — Wood backboards were replaced by fan-shaped metal backboards. The new boards measured 54” wide and 32” from the top to the center of the hoop. Old wooden backboards were allowed to be 4’ by 6’ and presented quite a home team advantage, as those familiar with the expanse of wood could shoot harder off of dead spots, or less so if the board was springier. The move to metal backboards was an attempt to make all courts fairer. 

5. Prelude to war — Although Pearl Harbor didn’t occur until December of ’41, there are glimpses of the country gearing up for war. Selective service numbers –sort of an individual lottery system—appear in many of the newspapers—and there are many articles about local boys enlisting in the military. The first athletic department to be affected was Lovell’s, when their coach, Wendell Poulson, was called to officer’s school in early December. Captain Poulson was replaced by recent Colorado grad/athlete Harold ‘Monk’ Saunders as head of the Bulldogs. Lovell didn’t miss a beat as they finished tied for first in the Big Horn Basin, first at the District #3 tourney, and sixth at State.

Northeast

In the Class A ranks of the Northeast, Casper Natrona wasn’t quite the powerhouse they’d been from their initial go in District #4 the year before. There were two reasons for this: 1. Okie Blanchard was not coaching in the prep ranks as he assumed the reins of the UW Cowboy football team, beginning his very short tenure there, which removed the state’s best basketball coach out of the picture; and 2. Midwest. The Oilers had one of the best teams in the area with wins over six state tourney qualifiers. They defeated nemesis Casper once (in Casper) and dropped a one point game to the Mustangs in Midwest and an overtime game to them in the District #4 finals in Gillette.  Buffalo (third) and Newcastle also qualified for State. Of the foursome in Casper, only Casper hung around all four days to finish fourth. Midwest dispatched Star Valley to the losers’ bracket, but dropped games to eventual placers Laramie (second) and Lovell (sixth). Newcastle and Buffalo were two and done in the Oil City. [Midwest did land their center, Harmon, on the all-state tourney team, the first of the original group of District #4 schools to do so in the Class A ranks.]

The Class B dopesters had Rozet and Clearmont as the favorites entering district play, but Big Horn and Hulett pulled off the surprises as Hulett took Clearmont out of title contention in the first round and Big Horn dispatched Hulett in the semis to qualify for State. Rozet was up to their favorite expectations, squeaking by Upton in the semis and handily dispatching Big Horn in the finals. In Casper, Rozet lost a one-point heartbreaker to the eventual champions, Lingle, and were eliminated the following night by Cokeville. Big Horn surprised again with close wins over Deaver and Lyman, and finished second in a one-point loss to the Bulldoggers.

Southeast

The seven Class A teams met in Cheyenne to choose four for the state tourney in Casper. Torrington received the bye for round one, having split with Cheyenne during the regular season. After round one it was Torrington versus Cheyenne in one semifinal and Laramie against Glenrock in the other. The larger schools won and the Plainsmen won their third game from the Indians in the finals. Torrington topped Glenrock for third place honors. At state, Laramie rode their momentum from district into the finals where they lost by six in the championship finale to Rock Springs. Cheyenne split their four games at state, Glenrock and Torrington each won a single game before being eliminated in day #3 of the four-day affair.

In the B portion of the SE District #2, eight teams were again bracketed and over a dozen small schools had no representative at district. The Goshen Hole portion (teams south of the Platte) was represented by Chugwater and Hawk Springs, based strictly on their 1-2 conference finish. [A season-ending tourney won by LaGrange did not figure into things.] North of the Platte, Lingle, Guernsey and Sunrise were bracketed in. The East Laramie Conference was represented by Hillsdale and Carpenter. Third place in that conference, Pine Bluffs, played University Prep, the Albany county representative, for the final spot in the bracket and a Hornets’ victory secured the final slot. In Cheyenne, Chugwater took the district title with an easy win over Lingle in the finals. Those two teams reversed fortune in Casper and Lingle took the whole shooting match with three rather tight wins over teams from other districts, state champions in Class B. Chugwater was two and done in the Oil City.

Rat Droppings***Normally Lusk’s fortunes are fairly easy to document as the Lusk Herald and Lusk Free Lance usually did an excellent job of reporting results. Not so with the ’40-’41 season, as once the newspapers figured out that this was a team that would not make headlines, they used their space for other items. To add insult to injury, the football coach took many of the athletes and started a boxing team which did merit some of the headlines. The Tigers dropped two point games against Wheatland and in Crawford, losing in OT. The Herald published an article at the end of the season. Its title?  “A Perfect Season, in Reverse” not a lot of sympathy from the Fourth Estate.

Northwest

Following the same conference schedule from the previous year, each Class A team played the other plus a home and home pairing against a school’s traditional rival, like Cody and Powell, for example. The top four teams were accorded first-round byes while the bottom eight teams played the first-round games. Lovell and Manderson had an easy time of it as both easily won their two games prior to the finals. Thermopolis and Powell surprised with wins over favored Cowley and Worland respectively, and the Bobcats easily dispatched the Panthers in the third/fourth place game. Lovell won handily over Manderson in the championship finale. At State, only Lovell managed to place, with a sixth-place trophy. Of the other three qualifiers, only Manderson managed a single win. Powell and Thermopolis were two and done in Casper.

For Class B, Deaver and Shoshoni sported the strongest records entering district play in Lovell and the two teams didn’t disappoint as both teams won two relatively easy games to reach the finals. Deaver took the Class B honors with a win in the finale over the Wranglers. At Casper, Deaver bounced back from an opening round loss to take consolation honors. Shoshoni won their initial game, lost their second in a close game with eventual champion Lingle and dropped the third-place game to Lyman.

Rat Droppings***Early in the season Ft. Washakie was denied participation with the Class B schools in District #3 until they could prove that their  scholastic, attendance and eligibility were in accordance with national federation standards. They did not play in the Class B district tourney and games versus eligible Class B schools did not count in the standings (nor did those schools that played Ft. Washakie lose their state membership). Two weeks after the Class B District #3 tourney in Lovell, Ft. Washakie was voted back into the conference.

Southwest

Neighboring schools Rock Springs and Superior put on quite the battle in the Class A East, splitting their regular season games. The Tigers took the rubber game in the District #1 finals at Green River. Star Valley was tops in the Class A West, and battled Rawlins twice at district. They won the first game with the Outlaws but lost the second, which was for third and fourth place. District #1 showed their chops at Casper with Rock Springs taking home the championship banner, the second for coach Walter Dowler. The other three teams all placed at the four-day affair, with Superior taking third, Rawlins seventh and Star Valley eighth, a total of 11 wins and three losses versus the rest of the state. (Rawlins and Star Valley played again in the seventh/eighth place game.)

Cokeville was the class of the District #1 Class B teams, sweeping three easy games in Green River to qualify as the #1 seed from the SW. Lyman took second, dropping the finale to Cokeville by 12 points. The two teams reversed form in Casper, as Lyman took third place while Cokeville lost in the consolation finals.
