Fall high school sport get underway
JHHS golfers in action at Snake River Shootout, football Broncs begin practice
JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — While most high school classrooms are still quiet, awaiting the official first day of school, high school sports are gearing up for the fall season.
The Jackson Hole High School golf team will take part in the two-day Snake River Shootout, Wednesday and Thursday, August 11-12. The two-day tournament takes place at Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis for the first day (Wednesday). Several schools will compete including Green River, Jackson, Lander, Pinedale, Riverton, and Star Valley.
Snake River Shootout Day 2 will take place in Afton at Cedar Creek G.C. at Star Valley Ranch. Evanston, Green River, Jackson, Lander, Pinedale, Riverton, and Star Valley are expected to compete.
The 2021 season started with practice on Monday. Jackson will host the 4A championships on September 17-18, 2021.
Jackson Broncs football eyes state title
The Jackson Broncs football team began practices this week. The season begins August 27 with the Broncs traveling over the hill to take on the Teton Timberwolves, kickoff at 7pm. Check out the full schedule for 2021.
The Broncs are looking for nothing less than a state title after coming oh so close last year in a loss to Cody.
For the Broncs, it’s a now or never feeling at pre-season camp. Led by 3-year starting quarterback Sadler Smith, Jackson has the leader and the cannon arm of a poised senior. Add to that, his favorite target—fellow senior WR Nate Keipert—and this is a tandem that could rewrite record books when all is said and done.
Then there’s the backfield. Brody Hasenack runs like the bulls he rides in rodeo. A vicious, twisting, slashing back with a speed burst that allows him to reach secondary defenders in a flash. Paired with the all-purpose 6’4″, 220-lb FB/TE Colter Dawson, Jackson can dish out an ample supply of thunder and lightning.
There will be holes to fill on the line on both sides of the ball. Jackson still lacks the size to get into slugfests with bigger teams like Star Valley and Cody, but the Broncs have everything it takes, including brilliant coaching with David Joyce, to run the table this year and bring home the trophy.
