COWBOYS HIRE TIGHT END COACH, COWGIRLS FINISH SEASON ON HIGH NOTE WELCOME TO THE WAR, ELEVATION 7200 FEET The Wyoming Cowboys have filled out their coaching staff for the upcoming year by filling the open seat for the tight ends coach. With the release of football coach Harvey Patton this offseason the Cowboys recruited internally to fill the position as Joe Glenn chose his son, Casey Glenn for the position. Casey, last year's director of football operations was promoted to the position. The hire shouldn't surprise Cowboy fans as Casey has been on his dad's staff for last year, and with the Oklahoma Sooners before that as a graduate assistant and with University of South Dakota as a speed and strength coach for the Coyote football team, and has aspirations of coaching himself. Casey Glenn was a linebacker for Carroll College (MT) during their 2002 national championship victory. He graduated from Carroll with a degree in sports managemet and completed his masters degree at Oklahoma in Human Relations. The Wyoming Cowgirls basketball team has concluded their 2007/08 season, and did so in fantastic fashion. The Cowgirls made it to the big dance for the first time in school history, and did so with an 11 seed coming out of the MWC. After the Cowgirls dropped their opening round game in the Mountain West tournament they were surprised to see that they were such a high seed, but it was well deserved according to anyone in Laramie. With the 11th seed the Cowgirls drew #6 seed Pittsburgh, in the Spokane region. Their first NCAA Tournament game was played in what could have been considered the home town crowd as they played in a familiar arena, The Pit, in Albaquerque. The Cowgirls played in front of a sea of gold, as well as a sea of red as New Mexico Lobo fans turned out to throw their support towards the Mountain West's Cowgirls. The Cowgirls gave it a valient effort, in a back and forth game with the Panthers of Pitt, starting the game on a tear sinking three after three, staying out of the way of Pitt's larger inside players. Hanna Zavecz played like a veteran, leading the Cowgirls, but it wasn't enough to overcome a slow second half which seen their three point shots disappear. They lost the game 63-58. Not too shabby for a team in the Dance for the first time. Congrats Cowgirls!
