Gillette College Women’s Basketball is hanging out the help wanted sign. Head Coach Will "Bunny" Rider announced his resignation to pursue other opportunities on Wednesday.
Under Rider’s leadership over the past 10 years, several Pronghorns have been awarded scholarships to Division 1 programs and another 10 have earned scholarships to Division II institutions.
In 2016, Rider led the Women’s Pronghorns to victory during the Region IX Championship.
Bunny Rider's a Glendo native who coached Douglas LadyCats basketball in the 1980's and early 1990's. Every one of his teams qualified for the state tournament and only twice finished out of the top 3 places. The Bearcats won 3 state titles while playing in 6 title games, 4 of those back to back.
Gillette College will be launching a nationwide search to fill the head coach position this summer, in time for the 2019 – 2020 season. 042919

Football with nine players per team on the field is set to return to high schools in Wyoming next year.
The board of the Wyoming High School Activities Association voted unanimously on second and final reading Tuesday to introduce nine-man football in the 2020 season.
So who plays where?
4A and 3A would be unchanged from the current format.
2A (11-man) would have 17 teams divided into east and west (East = Buffalo, Burns, Upton-Sundance, Pine Bluffs, Glenrock, Newcastle, Big Horn, Thermopolis and Wheatland. West = Lyman, Big Piney, Mountain View, Pinedale, Greybull, Lovell, Kemmerer and Cokeville (opting up from 9-man)).
9-man would have 13 teams (East = Lusk, Southeast, Wright, Lingle-Ft. Laramie, Tongue River and Moorcroft (opting down from 2A...ineligible for playoffs). West = Riverside, Shoshoni, Wyoming Indian, Rocky Mountain, Wind River, Saratoga (questionable) and St. Stephens (opting up from 6-man).
6-Man would have 13 teams (East = Hulett, H.E.M., Kaycee, Normative Services, Midwest, Guernsey-Sunrise. West = Little Snake River, Burlington, Dubois, Farson-Eden, Ten Sleep, Meeteetse, Encampment).
School officials began talking about reducing the number of players on the field last year after some schools were unable to muster 11 players, leading to canceled games or entire seasons.
The board also decided the nine-player game will be played on standard-sized fields. High schools with six-player versions of the sport play on a smaller field.

The Johnson County School District 1 board will look for state funding as they consider upgrades to Buffalo High School's outdoor athletic facilities.
The board will either repair or replace the 13-year old track surface, and would like to upgrade the natural grass football field to a high-tech artificial turf that would better handle drainage issues and stand up better to Wyoming's weather.
The two projects would cost about $2 million dollars each.
