Instead of rolling out the traditional sixth, seventh and eighth grade teams, Greybull Middle School head boys basketball coach Cadence Wipplinger opted to try a new approach, assigning players to A, B and C squads based upon their skill levels.
The early returns are encouraging — at least for the two older teams.
As of Wednesday morning, the A team, made up of seventh and eighth graders, had won five of eight. The Buffs defeated Lovell 26-25, Ten Sleep 44-17, Wind River 37-19, Meeteetse 26-10 and Rocky Mountain 38-28 but lost to Burlington 61-16, Shoshoni 35-25 and Rocky Mountain 41-14..
The B team lost to Lovell 7A 31-29 and Burlington 38-34, but those are the only blemishes. The squad defeated Lovell B 44-18, Ten Sleep 47-10, Shoshoni 41-10, Wind River 47-16, Meeteetse 44-6 and Rocky Mountain 49-20.
The C team sported a 1-4 record as of Wednesdays morning.
