Laramie Rangers coverage
I guess I don't normally publish letters to the editor, but this letter was submitted to the Boomerang on Aug. 4 and was not published.
The fact that I was mentioned has everything to do with me putting it on Wyoming Sports.org. When I try to pat myself on the back these days, all I do is pull something. This is a little easier.
"Thanks for the great coverage.
We would like to thank the Laramie Boomerang, Wyomingsports.org, and KOWB radio for their continued outstanding coverage of the Laramie Rangers Legion baseball.
Reporter Ryan Lucas and the Laramie Boomerang have provided another season of great coverage with articles and photos that not only give a recap of the previous game, but provide an inside look at the players and the team overall. Time is taken to interview coaches and players to give a complete look at our local team. Out of town fans can go online for the same great coverage.
Rich Anderson of WyomingSports.org also has provided great coverage and it is very evident that hours of time is spent writing articles and adding photos that include quotes from the coaches and players. The article that provides the results of the game just played is posted that same day. Local fans as well as out of town fans are just an on-line look away from getting a complete look at the Ranger baseball.
Finally, David Settle and KOWB have provided outstanding coverage of Ranger baseball. David arrives well before the first pitch gaining interviews with coaches and players and the entire broadcast includes a pregame show, the game itself, and then a complete wrap up during the postgame show with many highlights and the play of the game, as well as the player of the game. Hours are spent to cover just one game. Every inning the Ranger’s are playing at the State tournament were covered, regardless of what town it is in, or whether they play back to back games. David does an incredible job of providing stats and facts with a positive look at the players and the team during the many times during a baseball game that require “fill-time”.
Having had a player on the Ranger baseball team for the better part of the last decade, I can tell you that very few other communities cover their team as well. You might think being in the same town as the only major university in the state, that high school sports and local baseball might take a backseat to UW athletics. That couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, all of these athletic events are well covered by the Boomerang, WyomingSports.org, and KOWB. The commitment these people have to our local kids is unmatched. Thanks again!

I agree with Mr. Joy. Gillette covers the Roughriders very well, but you won't find any other community that covers their youth like Laramie, whether it is in the newspaper, on-line or by radio. That especially includes Casper and Cheyenne,
