Speech team triumphs despite curtailed meet

Safety concerns about extreme weather brought the Thunder Basin tournament in Gillette to a premature end, but the cold couldn’t stop the Greybull speech team from capturing first in 1A/2A as the only small school to move members into semifinal or final rounds.

Coach Joel Kuper said his team was disappointed they had to depart early, in part because they were matching up against larger programs from Cheyenne and South Dakota.
