Casper has reason to cheer this week after the Kelly Walsh High School volleyball team brought home first place at the 2026 WHSAA 4A Girls Volleyball State Championships, held November 7. The Trojans topped Cody in their semifinal matchup before capturing the championship title, capping off a remarkable postseason run that the whole community can celebrate.
The state tournament, which featured some of Wyoming’s top 4A programs, saw Kelly Walsh navigate a competitive bracket that included matchups against Cody and other strong contenders. The Trojans rose to the occasion when it mattered most, earning the top spot on the podium and bringing a state title back to Casper.
Adding to the local pride, Veterans Club members at a Casper-area school kicked off Veterans Day week with a flag-raising ceremony on November 10, honoring those who have served the country. The event set a patriotic and community-minded tone heading into the Veterans Day holiday — a fitting complement to a week already full of local spirit and school pride.
Together, these moments reflect the energy and heart that make Casper such a close-knit community. From the volleyball court to the flagpole, students and residents alike showed up with dedication and pride — a great reminder of what local schools and community traditions mean to the people of Natrona County.
