CASPER – After doing the unexpected at the 1A West Region Volleyball Tournament, the Farson-Eden Lady Pronghorns will open the 2015 State Championship Tournament on Thursday.
Entering as the fourth seed out of the west, the Lady Pronghorns will open with the top team from the east, Kaycee. The game is scheduled to get underway at 1 p.m. on Thursday.
Kaycee was the 1A Northeast conference champs going 8-0 in conference play and finishing with a record of 25-4 overall. This past weekend at the 1A East Regional Tournament, Kaycee went 3-0 to with the title. Wins included a three-game sweep over Gurnsey Sunrise, a 3-1 win over Rock River and a three-game sweep over top seed from the southeast, Lingle-Fort Laramie.
Farson-Eden entered the 1A West Regional Tournament little more than a blip on most team’s radars. That is until the first match. The Lady Pronghorns made a huge statement, showing the other teams they would be a contender.
In three straight sets, Farson took down Burlington, the top-seeded team from the northwest. In the second match of the tournament, they slipped a bit losing to the second seed from the southwest, Little Snake River.
On day two of the tournament, the Lady Pronghorns had another shot at qualifying for the state tournament. This time the ladies would face Dubois. In a five-set battle, Farson-Eden not only moved into the third-place game, they would lock a spot at state.
In the end, Farson finished in fourth, dropping to Cokeville in its final match of the tournament.
2A State Volleyball
After being crowned 2A West Region Champs, the Lyman Lady Eagles will be gunning for a state championship this weekend.
Lyman went 3-0 with a three-game sweep over Riverside, a three-game sweep over Greybull and a three-game sweep over Shoshoni in the championship game. Lyman will begin its march to the top opening with the fourth seed from the east, Tongue River.
The Lady Eagles are not the only regional team in 2A state action. Kemmerer finished the 2A West Regional in third place. The Lady Rangers beat Thermopolis in three to open the regional tournament but slipped against Shoshoni.
Kemmerer rebounded with wins over Greybull and Wind River to finish third. They will open the state tournament against the second seed from the east, Big Horn.

Rounding out the Briger Valley will be Mountain View. The Lady Buffaloes finished fourth at the 3A West Regional Tournament. MVHS lost to Powell to open the tournament but came back Saturday beating Lander and Jackson. Powell would get them again in the third-place match.
The ladies of Mountain View will open the 3A State Championship against the top team from the east, Rawlins.
