PhotoFest: Sheridan Earns 4A Championship in Girls Basketball

The 4A Girls State Basketball Tournament had some unexpected turns in Casper last week. Cody was the tournament favorite but lost to Sheridan in the semi-final when star player Molly Hays went down with a knee injury. Cheyenne East was looking for their 3rd state title in the last 4 years but they were defeated by Campbell County in the other semi-final game.

The Camels had beaten Sheridan 3 times this season but the Broncs turned the tables on Saturday posting a 65-56 win to finish the season 21-6. It was their first state title since 2007 and it wasn't an easy game by any stretch. Avery McMullen had a fantastic game for Sheridan with 17 points on 5-8 from the floor. Senior Alli Ligocki had 15 points and freshman Mesa Hanft had a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. The Broncs also hit 10, 3-pointers in the game and shot 56% from the floor.

Campbell County received a stellar effort from Cami Curtis who went 9-16 from the floor en route to 26 points, Kaylie Neary has been a stand-out this season for the Camels and rang up 14 points on 5-12 from the field. Campbell County wrapped up the season 20-7.
