Both Laramie High School basketball teams dropped to 0-4 in conference action after being swept in a girls'-boys' doubleheader at home last night by Cheyenne East.

Both of the Laramie High School basketball teams will be trying for their first 4A East Conference victory tonight, as Laramie plays in a girl's-boy's doubleheader at Cheyenne South.

It was a tough start to the 4A East Conference for both the Laramie Lady Plainsmen at home and the Laramie Plainsmen on the road. Both teams combined to go 0-4.

It's a big weekend for Laramie High School basketball, as both the Lady Plainsmen and Plainsmen start action in the 4A East today and tomorrow.

For the second straight year, the Laramie Plainsmen are the kings of Wyoming 4A high school cross country. Led by Senior Jonah Henry's win in the 5K race, the Plainsmen captured their second consecutive team crown at the Wyoming State High School Cross Country Championships Saturday in Sheridan.

Three touchdowns in the final 6:26 of the game by Laramie helped the Plainsmen to an unbelievable upset of the 5th-ranked Kelly Walsh Trojans Friday night at Deti Stadium. Laramie trailed by 19 and rallied with 22 unanswered points for a miraculous 29-26 victory on Senior Night.

It may be a new venue, but it's the same outlook for both the #1 Laramie Lady Plainsmen and the #2 Laramie Plainsmen, as they take part in the 2013 Wyoming State Soccer Championships in Rock Springs tomorrow through Saturday. Both teams are expected to contend for state titles this weekend.

Laramie High School has 22 student-athletes competing at the all-class Wyoming State Track and Field Championships Thursday through Saturday at Harry Geldien Stadium in Casper.

Chuck Syverson is no stranger to facing tough challenges. His latest will be to try to turn around the struggling Laramie Plainsmen football program.

KOWB has learned through sources that Chuck Syverson was offered and has accepted the position as the new head coach of the Laramie Plainsmen football team. He becomes the school's fifth coach in the last 11 years.
