WHSAA 3A/4A State Boys Basketball Championship

Casper · March

Last verified: . See something out of date? Tell us.

Summary

Casper hosts both classification weekends — 1A/2A on the first weekend in March, 3A/4A the next. Ford Wyoming Center is the title floor; Casper College and Natrona County HS handle prelims. Laramie won 4A in 2025; Campbell County won 3A. Wyoming has a small basketball state but the title game atmosphere at the Ford is real.

What makes this tournament distinct

Two weekends, one city. The whole state converges on Casper in March — easy logistics for fans and college coaches who want to scout the entire state in two trips.

Who it fits

Best for: WHSAA member schools. Realistic title contenders are concentrated in Cheyenne, Casper, Laramie, Gillette, Sheridan.

Tradeoffs: Closed to non-Wyoming schools. Talent depth statewide is limited — top end of 4A is national-radar but the field thins quickly.
