CASPER – The Wheatland High School boys’ basketball team capped off the season with a fourth-place finish in the Class 3A State Basketball Tournament in Casper over the weekend.
The No. 2-seeded Bulldogs needed a big second half during Thursday’s opening round to knock off the Worland Warriors, 46-38.
Wheatland’s Luke Anderson tied the game at two with just under five minutes to play in the opening quarter, but Worland went on a 7-0 spurt over the next three minutes.
Anderson slowed the Warrior run with a minute to go in the quarter with a 3-pointer, but Worland held on to a 11-5 lead after eight minutes to play.
In the second quarter, treys by Mytchell Pollock and Kobey Preuit tied the game at 11 midway through the quarter, but once again, Worland pulled away with a 9-1 run to end the first half of play.
