The Greybull Buffs are getting their offense in gear and should be as close to full health as they’ve been all season Friday when they face Rocky Mountain in the first of four straight conference games that will decide their playoff fate.

The Buffs throttled Wyoming Indian 56-14 Thursday afternoon in Ethete, shaking off their head coach’s concern about them overlooking the Chiefs while running their overall record to 2-2 and their conference mark to 1-2. 

“They responded to that challenge pretty well, playing sound on both sides of the ball,” said Coach Jeremy Pouska.
