This year, as the No. 1 team in Class A, Cheyenne is hoping to take the next step and win a championship.

Coach Brad Thrash, in his third season at Cheyenne, prepared his team by playing a tough schedule that included eight games against teams that made it to state in either Class A or B. Forgan and Hammon accounted for the Bears' only losses in a 27-2 season.

Thrash's son, Austin, leads the Bears with 19 points per game, and three other starters average in double figures.
