It seems that scams are everywhere in the United States, even in the small town of Pine Bluffs. Scammers wanting to get money free but never telling the truth. These people are selfish people. A Pine Bluffs resident recently received mail wanting money for the police somewhere else other than Pine Bluffs. It did have the Pine Bluffs town hall on the address. But it did not come from Pine Bluffs. Fact is the Pine Bluffs town hall did not know about it until one resident questioned it. The Pine Bluffs Police Department had another on the Quality...

Our PBHS Student Council hasn't attended a WyAsc for quite a few years-in my head I am thinking 2020 or so. WyASC is Wyoming Association of Student Councils. This group of girls (initially) has really jumped into all the leadership offerings we have had around the state. Last spring we went to Lingle for a Southeast Regional Summit–and that really helped our council SEE what we can do as a small school. Since attending the summit, they also wanted to attend the Fall StuCo Summit in Casper t...

Defensive players Ethan Bomberger and Justin Lerwick were named as the WyoSports Prep Athlete of the Week. It is said that defense wins football games. That statement was never more accurate than in the Hornets last week's 22-28 Championship win against the Lingle/Ft Laramie Doggers'. For the second week in a row two Hornets players were so honored. The two combined for 17 tackles, one fumble and two sacks in their championship win over the Doggers. Bomberger had 10 tackles with six solo...

Two of the Burns Broncs football players have been honored with All-State awards. Mason Medley and Mason Terry were recognized for their efforts in the comeback season for the Broncs. Quarterback Mason Medley and receiver Mason Terry were a powerful force in the teams’ offensive and defensive effort in the season. Medley would often look for Terry down the field as the two would team up for several long gains and touchdowns throughout the season. At times they could be compared to the Montana and Rice combination era of the 90’s San Fra...

Although some of the players were hitting the gym and preparing themselves for the season over the summer. Head Coach Will Gray instilled in the kids that last year is over. We learn from our...
