Northeast Wyoming is not what most people think of when they think of Wyoming. Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, and the Grand Tetons are far more common a known area of the state. For those travelers to California, maybe I-80 and the endless great basin and rocky desolation might come to mind.
As Wyoming rolls east, after the Big Horn and Laramie ranges, you begin the rolling prairies that as the elevation drops forms the great plains across the middle of the country. But to the northeast, there is a range more associated with South Dakota, as the Black Hills do encroach onto the Equality State. And Newcastle sits at the southwest edge of the range. At the junction of US85 and US16, it is a major resource hub. Founded in 1889, Newcastle formed after the railroads arrived, accessing the coal and now oil refinery.
The Dogies, a reference to young motherless calves in a herd, are one of the largest schools in the northeast corner of the state. One of the few still playing 11-man football.
On Friday night, Newcastle was hosting the Glenrock Herders for homecoming weekend. And though they didn’t have a doubleheader with the Junior High, it was a doubleheader with Volleyball. Playing in the school’s gymnasium in the afternoon. Another commonality out west. And like the rest of Wyoming, admission is free for regular season high school sports. Newcastle’s Schoonmaker Field doesn’t even include fencing around the ground. Instead, you can just park and walk up to the stands and take a seat. No large entryway. No ticket booth. Just a wide open experience hardly seen outside of Wyoming.
