COWGIRLS STILL ROLLING, POKES LOOKING BETTER WELCOME TO THE WAR, ELEVATION 7200 FEET The Wyoming Cowgirls basketball team is continuing their roll towards March Madness with winning ways. Despite dropping three conference games in the last month, the Cowgirls are still looking like a force to be reckoned with when March approaches. The Cowgirls look a loss this week to the TCU Horned Frogs in Fort Worth, then came back on Saturday and ran the Air Force Falcons into the ground, beating them 60-32 at home. The Cowgirls, 20-4 on the season, are hoping to make a bid for a top 10 seed in the NCAA tournament next month. The Cowgirls will next face San Diego State on Wednesday in San Diego.
The Wyoming Cowboys have been playing more like a team lately and are showing signs of life late this season. The Cowboys are 10-14 on the season, but are looking to build some momentum going into next season. The Cowboys, who beat TCU earlier this week at home, dropped a game to the Air Force Falcons on Saturday in Clune Arena. The Cowboys have been getting big showings from Brandon Ewing as of late, as he has been the top scorer against TCU and AFA. The Cowboys will next face San Diego State on Tuesday in Laramie. The Wyoming Cowboy wrestlers have split their last four dual meets, and are two duals away from the regional tournament being held in Fargo, ND. The Cowboys, without star Carter Downing, are still fighting and being led by Eric Coxbill. As of late, Cole Dallaserra, a Butte, MT native, has come up big for the Cowboys and is finding his niche in the Cowboy lineup. The Cowboys took a loss to North Dakota State, then came back to beat South Dakota State a night later managed to come away with a split on that road trip. Last week the Cowboys beat Utah Valley State, but dropped a home dual to #21 Cal-State Fullerton in Laramie. The Cowboys next face Air Force next Saturday, then finish the regular season with Northern Colorado the following Tuesday at home. The Wyoming Cowboy football team has made the news lately, as the NCAA national signing day came to a close. The Cowboys picked up in what's being said is Joe Glenn's best recruiting class, picking up a pair of quarterbacks, Dax Crum from Mesa Community College, and Adam Berry from Moorpark, CA. The Cowboys also picked up a new kicker, Austin McCoy from Winter Park, FL. Wyoming did most of their damage in Colorado, where nine of their recruits are from. One of the more exciting Cowboy recruits is WR James Caraway from Highland Park, KS. Caraway is expected to step in as a speedy long ball threat, who has blazing speed to stretch the defenses out. The lone Wyoming native in the group is Jim Downs, an OT from Glenrock. Also making news for the Cowboy football team is Joe Glenn's releasing of tight ends coach Harvey Patton. Patton, who played for Northern Colorado, has been with Joe Glenn since he coached at UNC, then followed him to Montana, then to Wyoming. No word has been given why Patton was released. Joe Glenn was quoted as saying, "Harvey’s past contributions to our program are appreciated, and we wish him the best in his future." The search for a new coach will begin immediately.
