SHERIDAN -- Top-ranked Sheridan had more than enough in the first half to stop Laramie 27-7 Friday night in Class 4A football action at Homer Scott Field.
The Broncs, 5-1 on the season, scored twice in the first half and led 21-0 at halftime, before cruising in the second half.
The Plainsmen, 2-4, made some defensive adjustments in the second half to hold Sheridan to two field goals in the final two quarters.
Although the Broncs turned the ball over on their first offensive play from scrimmage when Jon Sorenson intercepted quarterback Austin Woodward, Sheridan turned to its ground game to take control of the contest.
The Broncs got on the scoreboard with 6:53 left in the first quarter on a 14-yard touchdown run by Seth Carroll. Sheridan then made it 14-0 late in the opening quarter on a 45-yard touchdown run by Cody Williams.
Williams then scored for the second time of the game mid-way through the second quarter from 13 yards out.
The Broncs made it a 24-0 game in the third quarter on a 28-yard field goal by Andrew Sticker.
Laramie had its best offensive drive of the game early in the fourth quarter to get on the scoreboard. Sorenson capped a 12-play, 80 yard drive on a 16-yard touchdown run.
Stricker closed the scoring with a booming 48-yard field goal with 7:52 left in the game.
The Broncs finished with 322 yard of total offense, with 227 on the ground and 95 through the air. Williams finished with 78 yards on just five carries, followed by Woodward with 77 yards on 11 rushes. Woodward was also 7 of 16 passing for 95 yards.
Sophomore Tanner Ibarra led the Plainsmen with 67 yards rushing on six carries, with senior Mike Lanich adding 35 yards on 10 carries and Sorenson with 12 rushes for 29 yards. Laramie played the game without leading rusher Dan Estes, who was out with an injury.
Sorenson was 8 of 16 passing (two interceptions) for 90 yards. Nathan Cowper had three catches for 32 yards, with Kelby Wilkison and Rylan Harding adding two catches each.
The Plainsmen remain on the road next Friday when they face Kelly Walsh in Casper.
