1. Natrona County (Casper)
2013-14 finish: 21-4
Head coach: Douglas Diehl

The defending 4A state champs are the heavy favorites to repeat, according to wyopreps.com. Kaylee Johnson, a three-time all-state player, has graduated, and so has Gabby Johnson. But only four seniors total moved on, so there is talent back, and that means the Mustangs should be just fine.

Head coach: Jessica Pickett



Pickett will lead the Broncs after their third-place finish last season. Guard Robbi Ryan is back for her junior season after earning all-state honors in her freshman and sophomore seasons, and power forward Taylor Townsend is a senior who also was on the all-state list last season.
