Since the 1A-2A state basketball tournaments are this week, and the 3A-4A tournaments are next week, I figured it was about time to do some updates to the state basketball tournament research I’ve been doing in between the football work that takes up the bulk of this site (and my time).
So, if you want to see the state basketball tournament scores from 1932 to the present, as well as a few tournaments prior to then, click here. It’s not really pretty, but the scores are all there, and for me, for now, that’s good enough.
Every score from every tournament, boys and girls, from 1932 forward, is posted there — with one exception. I still can’t find a score for a consolation semifinal game from the 1953 Class A tournament between Rawlins and Reliance. But other than that, every other score is there. Check it out.
By the way, as a Midwest High School alumnus, I’ve got to give mad props real quick to the Oilers, who won the 1A East Regional championship on Saturday. Midwest hasn’t been to the state semis since 1953, and if the Oilers can beat Ten Sleep on Thursday, they’ll end that way-too-long dry spell.

East high school needs to get rid of their coaches. The rumor is that the players don’t want to play for the varsity and jv coaches. They don’t know how to motivate their players. The coaches don’t respect the players and try to belittle them every chance they get. Please get new coaches.
So… where is this rumor coming from? Players have said this? Or has it been “observed” and passed on to you. What would you do differently? Do you think the coaches actually look for chances to belittle players? Basketball schadenfreude by people who depend on the players’ success to keep their job? Doesn’t add up. Maybe you can list your real name and we can straighten this out together.
