WYOPREPS PREVIEW OF THE WYOMING-NEBRASKA 6-MAN SHOOTOUT

WyoPreps caught up with Team Wyoming Head Coach Jack Cobb to preview the upcoming game. He discussed how the coaching staff selected players for Team Wyoming, considering how there are more teams in Nebraska, how preparation does not change too much, how this game depends on a team’s talent and its buy-in during preparation, and more.

The team met in Casper on Tuesday and held a light workout. They went to Chadron on Wednesday and tried to squeeze in a practice. Thursday was a busy day of practice. Gameday Friday has a walk-through and the game itself at 7 p.m.

Wyoming has 18 players from seven of the 6-man teams in the state. Jack Cobb from Little Snake River is serving as the head coach for Wyoming. His assistants are Sam Weeldreyer from LSR, Burlington’s Trent Aagard, and Encampment’s Kegan Willford.
