This week's trio is focused -- and with good reason. For everything but 3A soccer, this is the last weekend before regionals. So here it is:

Soccer: Casper Cup. It's a two-fer in the Trio this week. KW vs. NC. In Casper, it doesn't matter if it's football, soccer, meat judging or tic-tac-toe, this rivalry helps bring out the best in all involved. The NC boys need a win here to wrap up an automatic bid to state, while the winner of the girls' game wins the 4A West Conference.

Boys soccer: Cheyenne East at Laramie, Saturday. Speaking of fun atop conferences, how about that 4A East boys race? Laramie has 20 points, East has 19 and Central has 18. Laramie and Central were scheduled to play on Thursday (haven't heard a final as of late Thursday night), but this game Saturday could be for more than just a conference title -- an automatic berth at state could be on the line, too.

Track: Shane Brock Invitational, Lander, Saturday. There are like 875 teams coming to this (OK, not really, but there are a bunch). It's one of the biggest meets in the state on the last week of the regular season, and it's important as athletes gear up for regionals and state.

There's the trio. Make it the quad or the quint or the whatever by adding your most anticipated event with a comment below.
