This high school softball experience is new for everybody. Two years ago, the Teton County School District added softball to Jackson Hole High School’s athletic offerings, and two months ago, the Broncs began their first-ever season. Several girls on the team have past softball experience with Jackson’s club team, the Grizzlies, but many of them have never played before. Lauren Hoe has, but she’s never been a head coach before. Everybody’s figuring it out this spring.

Ben Polland has made an interesting start to the year, to say the very least. The golf director at Shooting Star in Teton Village won the 2024 PGA Professional Championship, qualifying him to compete in last year’s PGA Championship and six PGA Tour events this year.

Only one game remains for the Broncs soccer teams before 4A West regionals, and it looks like another team has added itself to the mix for the approaching girls’ tournament.

Both Broncs soccer teams spent the majority of Friday night trailing Kelly Walsh, and they spent the rest of it celebrating. Late in the first half of the first game at William T. McIntosh Stadium, the Jackson girls went down 1-0, and a little later, after the sun dropped behind the Teton Range and the facility’s lights shone down on the green turf, the boys fell into a 3-0 deficit in the second half.

The Jackson girls’ lacrosse team makes undefeated look easy. It has won all but one of its 13 games by seven or more goals, and the closest contest all spring was a 9-7 victory over Northwest. But most of that has not come easy. Just because the girls have the recipe doesn’t mean putting everything together is simple. It just seems that way, perhaps because they are unshakable.
