Freshman Loomis Alexander was the only Greybull-Riverside wrestler to reach finals while Caiden Sorenson, Jake Schlattmann, Erik Rosales and Curtis Strohschein joined him as placers at Saturday's Greybull Memorial Invitational at Buff Gym.

The tournament followed closely on the heels of a G-R dual win over Wright on Friday night.

Nonconference matchups with Big Horn and Tongue River were casualties of the weather, but the Greybull Buffs got the one they had to have, beating Shoshoni 50-43 Friday night at Buff Gym for their first Northwest Conference victory of the season.

The Buffs had lost to Rocky Mountain and Wind River the previous week, so it was as close to a must-win as you'll see in late January.

The Rocky Mountain Lady Grizzlies proved to be too much for the Lady Buffs to handle when the two teams met in Cowley in the first conference game of the season. The Grizzlies took a quick first quarter lead and went on to claim the 50-16 victory.

The Lady Buffs were in the friendly confines of their home gym Saturday and they took advantage of that to score a victory over the Lady Cougars from Wind River, 48-47.  It was an exciting climax to a game that looked impossible to win in the early going. But, as Coach Jeff Hunt has often said, there is “no quit” in his team.

Junior Ty Strohschein and freshman Loomis Alexander won their weight classes and Greybull-Riverside placed fifth in a 13-team field at last weekend’s Don Runner Invitational in Pavillion.

Coach Rob Nuttall said he loved the way his team stepped up at the event, which was billed by some as a preview of the Class 2A West Regional.  With the exception of Cokeville and Kemmerer, all the teams that will be battling it out later this month for state tournament berths were in attendance.

Wyoming Indian is known for momentum-changing scoring runs, but on Friday night at Buff Gym, the Chiefs found themselves on the receiving end of one that would have the made some of their all-time great teams proud.

Three minutes into the opening quarter, the No. 4 ranked team in 2A led 2-0.  Greybull hadn’t hit a shot and had two turnovers.  The run started simply enough — with banked-in 3-pointer by Coby Henderson with 4:56 to play.

“We had a good weekend, even if the scores don’t show it,” said Jeff Hunt, coach of the Lady Buff hoop team. The Buffs competed in the Foothills Classic in Ethete, home of Wyoming Indian, and Pavilion, home of Wind River.

They didn’t get a sweep, but the Greybull Buffs gained a pair of wins — and every bit as important, some insights about themselves and where they need to improve — at last weekend’s Herder Classic in Glenrock.

Greybull lost its opener to Wright, 68-59, but rallied to claim its next two, downing 3A Glenrock 48-39 and 1A Kaycee 48-36 to leave town with a winning record.  While thankful for that, Coach Logan Burningham wasn’t particularly pleased about his team’s play.

The girls got it done in Thermopolis.  Elli Holloway and Tawny Bertolini claimed Greybull-Riverside’s only conference titles at Saturday’s Big Horn Basin Conference Tournament in Thermopolis, going a combined 4-0 with four pins.

Holloway won the 138-145 division, Bertolini the 126-132 division.

They took different paths to get to the same place.

With Thanksgiving now in the rear view, Greybull High School teams have begun ramping up for their respective season openers, all of which are scheduled for the weekend of Friday, Dec. 9 and Saturday, Dec. 10.

As they typically do, Coach Rob Nuttall’s wrestlers will see their first action at the Powell Invitational.

As of Monday, his roster stood at 20.

“That’s a good number, although we’d always like a few more,” Nuttall said.
