The elderstatesman of 4A
There’s going to be a LOT of experience on the sidelines when Casper Natrona County visits Cheyenne Central at 7 p.m. Friday.
Natrona coach Steve Harshman is in his 21st season and Central’s Brick Cegelski is in his 16th.That’s 37 years!
By comparison, the remaining eight 4A coaches have amassed a mere 28 years on the sidelines at their current schools.
