PhotoFest: Campbell County Wins Battle of Gillette in 4A Football
After some lean years, the Campbell County football program has come a long way. The Camels posted a winning season in 2023 after 6 straight losing seasons. Now, they're 7-0 in the 4A classification after a 35-7 win over Gillette rival Thunder Basin on Friday night.
The Camels asserted themselves right off the bat as quarterback Mason Drube threw two touchdown passes to Adam Gibson, one for 6 yards and the other for 67. At the intermission, Campell County led 14-0. Thunder Basin got back into the game with a 2-yard run for a TD from Hadley Hudson to cut the gap to 14-7 but Drube came back with a 1-yard run for a score to bump the Camel lead to 21-7
In the fourth quarter, Tren Rosenau and Drube scored rushing touchdowns, and the Camel defense did the rest, registering 10 sacks. Campbell County will face 7-0 Sheridan on the road this Friday in a much-anticipated game. Thunder Basin is 2-5 and will take on 2-5 Laramie this week on the road.
