Kelly Walsh manages to hold on late vs Wheatland (Wyoming High School Basketball 01/07)

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (Wyoming News Now) - The James Johnson Winter Classic kept a large majority of the local school’s busy, as teams searched to find form in the early stages of 2023. Kelly Walsh certainly fell into that category, and found the result they wanted with a 40-37 win over the 3A Wheatland Bulldogs.

Elsewhere in the tournament, the Central Lady Indians had to defend their #5 ranking, and had the opportunity to do so against Rock Springs. What started as a back and forth contest eventually finished in favor of Central, stealing an eight point win over their 4A opponent.
