Cheyenne Central Basketball Squads Split with Campbell County

Cheyenne Central and Campbell County met on the hardwood in 4A action on Friday in Gillette and the Cheyenne Central girls continued their fine season with a 73-46 win over Campbell County. So far this season, Indian players Karson Tempel and Izzy Kelly have been averaging a combined 28 points a game. Central also beat Sheridan on that road trip to Gillette 49-44 so after the weekend's play, the Indians were 11-1.

Campbell County is now 5-5 but they have talent in seniors Kaylie Neary and Lauren Kuhbacher. Neary is a returning All-State player and is 4A's leading scorer averaging 21 points a game. Kuhbacker is averaging 10 points and 10 rebounds per game.

In the boys' game on Friday, Campbell County flexed its muscles with a resounding 81-50 victory over Cheyenne Central. The Camels certainly have enough ability to contend for a good seed at the 4A State Tournament with 4 guys averaging in double figures. Jack Andela and Sheridan High School transfer Truman Degrange are throwing 15 points a game each, all-star quarterback Mason Drube averages 13 a game, and returning All-Conference performer Luke Hladky is tossing a dozen points a contest. The Camels had a really good weekend with an 81-72 win over Cheyenne East on Saturday to move to 4-6 on the year.
