GILLETTE — The Rock Springs Tigers were shut out for the first time this season in a 37–0 loss to Thunder Basin on Friday night in Gillette.

The game matched strength against strength, as Rock Springs entered with the state’s top-ranked defense and rushing offense, while Thunder Basin boasted the top passing offense but the bottom-ranked defense. Both teams came in at 1–4, and it was the Bolts’ Homecoming night.

Thunder Basin set the tone immediately, returning the opening kickoff past midfield to start their first drive at the Tigers’ 40-yard line. Rock Springs held firm inside the 10, forcing a 24-yard field goal from Diego Baeza with 9:36 remaining in the first quarter to make it 3–0.
