It has been a banner stretch for Sheridan County bragging rights, with local talent shining on both the basketball court and the silver screen.

Three Sheridan County high school basketball players have been selected to participate in the 2026 Wyoming vs. Montana All-Star Series, according to Sheridan Media. The prestigious series pits the best prep players from each state against one another, and earning a spot is a significant honor that reflects the strength of basketball in the Sheridan County school community. The selections are a testament to the dedication of these student-athletes and the coaches who have developed them.

Adding to the community’s pride, a film that screened at the WYO Film Festival has gone on to win an Academy Award. The WYO Theater’s annual film festival has long been a beloved Sheridan tradition, and having one of its featured films recognized at the Oscars puts the local event on a national stage. It is a remarkable milestone for the festival and a reminder of the vibrant arts culture that calls Sheridan home.

Together, these two achievements — young athletes representing Wyoming at the highest prep level and a festival film earning Hollywood’s top honor — make for a proud moment for the entire Sheridan community.
