Peach Basket Classic

Natrona came out victorious in the Peach Basket Classic

Both Kelly Walsh and Natrona County took home one of the Peach Basket Classic trophies following the games played at Casper College.

It's the annual Peach Basket Classic Thursday night at Swede Erickson Gym at Casper College as Natrona will take on Kelly Walsh. The girls game tips off at 6:00 with the boys game at 7:30pm with both games on AM 1400 ESPN.

The Casper schools were on the road over the weekend. The Kelly Walsh boys split with a 41-40 win at Rock Springs on Friday night, but lost at Riverton on Saturday afternoon, 54-50.

How It All Began It was Dr. James Naismith, a Canadian physical education professor, who came up with the idea of nailing a peach basket on a balcony, and having the students in his class take turns throwing a ball into the “hoop.”
