Ask a coach who has been around for awhile, and chances are they will know all about Casper College. In junior college basketball, Casper College has a well deserved reputation as one of the outstanding programs in the nation.
It is no accident that 12 regional championship banners hang from the rafters, celebrating championships that propelled the Thunderbirds into the national tournament. Through the years Casper College has won 23 games and finished among the top 10 eight different times in the NJCAA's marquee event. More than 60 T-Bird athletes have gone on to play Division I basketball, and seven ended up playing in the professional ranks. Seventeen T-Bird players have earned All America honors.
Casper College began playing basketball back in 1945. That year, the team played two games against Scottsbluff Junior College . Since that year, Casper College has won more than 1100 games, averaging nearly 20 wins per year. Today, the T-Birds play a 30-game schedule which takes them to colleges all over the West.
A big reason for the success of T-Bird basketball has been its unparalleled support. Few teams anywhere in junior college draw crowds as big as Casper . The T-Bird Booster Club and loyal fans not only attend the home games and rock the house, but also serve as host families for our athletes. Every T-Bird home game is broadcast on KVOC (1230 AM). That means parents and coaches back home can listen to the games!
Now you know the tradition that is Thunderbird basketball.
