A Torrington native took the microphone for a University of Wyoming basketball game Oct. 30. Logan Hunter, a senior communications major, called the Cowgirls’ exhibition game against South Dakota Mines in the Arena-Auditorium on the Cowboy Sports Network, according to UW Athletics. Hunter said it is the kind of job he has worked toward since high school. His path began in Torrington, where he said the idea of calling games for a living did not fully take shape until his junior year, when he got to call a couple of drives of a state championship football game for Torrington radio. “I did all kinds of stuff in sports when I was in Torrington as well,” Hunter said. He lived near Veteran and still attended school in Torrington, he said, “so long commutes back and forth to school.” As a senior, he called Torrington football and basketball games for the NFHS Network, and he called a few games on KGOS about a year ago, he said. “Some people might remember that,” he said.

For 20 years, a quarter of a penny on each dollar spent in Goshen County has helped pay for storefront signs, repaved parking lots, firefighters’ breathing gear and a share of larger buildings. On Tuesday, voters decided not to continue it. The quarter-cent economic development tax failed by 96 votes, 2,299 to 2,203, or 51.1% to 48.9%, according to unofficial results. The ballot asked whether the county should continue its 0.25% excise tax on goods and services for four more years, with the money going to the Goshen County Economic Development Corp. for economic development within the county. This is the last in a series of stories on the Go Goshen Progress Program, which the tax paid for. The vote came after questions about how the campaign to renew it was funded, and after 16 years of grants in which Torrington recipients received more of the program’s money than any other community in the county.
