In 4A boys play on Saturday, #2 Laramie outlasted Sheridan on the road in overtime 83-81. It was close from start to finish with Laramie prevailing thanks to sharp perimeter shooting. Neil Summers led the Plainsmen with 27 points and Gabe Sanchez added 19. Laramie hit 10 3-pointers in the contest and missed just one free throw out of 16 attempts as they got to 15-2 on the year. Sheridan was paced by Garrett Spielman with 26 and Cael Hamrick had 14. The Broncs dropped to 12-6 on the year.
In the girls' game, Sheridan jumped out to an 11-point lead after one-quarter of play and then watched Laramie have an 11-point edge in the 3rd quarter. The Lady Broncs held on to win 52-26 so they are 14-4 on the season. Sheridan's leading scorer was Mesa Hanft with 22 with Adeline Burgess contributing 10.
