Friday Night Frenzy 2024: Week 0
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (Wyoming News Now) - The first week of high school football is finally here and Wyoming News Now Sports was on sight for three games to start the season. The week 0 Game of the Week took place at Natrona where the #4Mustangs went toe to toe with #5 Thunder Basin. This game showed just how strong both of these defenses were, as Gus Bertagnole found an interception to bring the Mustangs within the 10 yard line. However the Thunder-Bolts defense showed no signs of weakness as they forced a turnover on downs, leaving the game scoreless at half. The fist score would come in the third when Kanai Olsen punched it in with a QB sneak for Natrona. Thunder Basin answered right back though as Hadley Hudson ran it in to tie it up once again. That didn’t last long however, as Gage Brooks proved football is a three team game with a kick return touchdown to seal the deal. Natrona took down Thunder Basin 17-7.
