This week's five on the rise is here! Try to contain your excitement as we take a look back at five teams that did some pretty cool stuff last weekend:
1. Dubois wrestling: Granted, it's not like winning the Ron Thon, but the Rams beat almost a dozen other 2A teams on their way to winning the Greybull Invitational. Watch out for those smaller Rams -- Dubois won brackets at 103, 112, 125 and 130 pounds.
2. Saratoga boys basketball: The Panthers keep getting better. This time, it was victories over conference rival Hanna and 2A power Wyoming Indian that turned heads.
3. Cody boys basketball: I don't care what's happening elsewhere, because what Cody is doing is pretty impressive. Knocking off highly ranked teams on back-to-back weekends is a good sign for a team that looks like it's improved dramatically since December.
4. Cokeville girls basketball: Don't look now, but with a 13-game winning streak, it's the Panthers who have the longest such streak in the state for girls. Cokeville added to the streak last week with a 48-point win over Farson and a 41-point win over Big Piney.
5. Everyone: January's doldrums are almost done. That means state everything is coming up soon. This is when it starts to get exciting. Thank goodness; I was afraid January was never going to die. :)
