Cheyenne East Looking to 3-Peat as 4A Girls Basketball Champs

With the basketball season underway, one of the teams to watch in 4A is Cheyenne East. The Thunderbirds are the two-time 4A state champions, defeating Cody both times in the title game. East is a very balanced team with a couple of returning all-state players in Boden Liljedahl and Bradie Schlabs. They also have Elysiana Fonseca who is a 3-time all-state volleyball player and sharpshooter Izzy DeLong.

Cheyenne East started the season with three wins in the Casper tournament, beating Kelly Walsh 49-28, Evanston 57-38, and Green River 72-47. This team has all the tools to make it 3 in a row in 4A and we chatted with Schlabs and DeLong after their win over KW on Thursday night. Be sure and check out our photo gallery of the game as well.
