Battle of Gillette on the hardwood

The first round of hometown hoops bragging rights tips off Friday night.
The start of the 4A East Conference play started last week, but all eyes in Gillette are focused on the battle of the energy capital as Campbell County High School will host Thunder Basin High School in game one of the basketball rivalry this season.
The action will tip-off Friday, Jan. 28. The girls will take the floor at 6 p.m., followed by the boys around 7:30 p.m.
The girls’ showdown has become the biggest 4A clash in the state this week after last week’s stunning East Conference openers. The Camels made a huge statement. After struggling for wins in the preseason, they shocked both Kelly Walsh and state-ranked Sheridan, the same two teams the Bolts beat in the same 24-hour period.
Because of the stellar performances, CCHS has moved its way into the state rankings this week to set the stage for a battle of top-tier statewide teams. Campbell County (5-7, 2-0) is ranked No. 5 in the state and the Bolts (10-3, 2-0) are No. 3, a spot they have held most of the season.
In the night’s finale, the CCHS boys (3-9, 0-2) take on a Bolts (10-3, 1-1) team that is coming off a surprise loss to Sheridan, the new No.-1 ranked team in the state.
The setback dropped Thunder Basin to No. 2 in the rankings and into a three-way tie for third place in the conference along with Kelly Walsh and Cheyenne Central. The Camels were unable to pull together a victory in the opening weekend of conference play, but did take Kelly Walsh down to the wire.
