In addition to the football research I’m doing, I am also deep into researching the state basketball tournaments, as well. I have posted most of the scores from the state tournaments — albeit in rudimentary form — at the basketball arm of this site.

The research for the girls tournaments is complete; I have every score from every girls state tournament game from the modern era (1976-2009).

The boys’ research, obviously, is a bit more complex, simply because the tournaments for boys stretch back much farther. However, I have obtained ALL BUT ONE score from 1946 forward.

The only score missing from the last 64 years is a consolation semifinal game from the Class A tournament in 1953, in which Rawlins defeated Reliance. I have looked in seven different newspaper microfilms for the score — the Casper Tribune-Herald, the Powell Tribune, the Laramie Republican Boomerang, the Rawlins Daily Times, the Rock Springs Daily Rocket/Rock Springs Miner, the Thermpolis Independent Record and the Wyoming State Tribune — and none of them had it. I’m up against a wall here so I’m appealing to YOU for help on this one…. If you can find it, let me know, and I’ll be forever appreciative.

Prior to 1946 is a bit more sketchy, but I haven’t put in a ton of time on those years yet, either.

    I’m looking for all state selections for boys basketball circa 1956 to 1962. Any info would be helpful.
    Thanks

    Hi Tex,

    I think I might have a few of those, but it might take me a couple days to find where I stored it all. I’ll let you know.

    Hi Tex,

    I didn’t have any luck searching my files for these. Anyone else out there who can help?
