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.

For the second straight season, the Greybull Buffs opened with a win on their home field, knocking off Moorcroft 28-14 in a nonconference nine-man game Thursday evening.

From an aesthetic standpoint, the game won’t end up on a wall of the Smithsonian. Defenses dominated. Neither team finished with a positive rushing total (Moorcroft’s net was -103, Greybull’s -19) and the teams combined for 18 penalties, seven turnovers and multiple breakdowns on special teams. 

But a win is a win, especially for a Greybull team breaking in new starters.
