ROCK SPRINGS — The Rock Springs Tigers will host the Green River Wolves this week as the longtime Sweetwater County rivals meet on the basketball court for the first time this season in the annual Blood Drive rivalry games, an event that blends one of Wyoming’s most intense high school rivalries with a community-wide cause. Keith Trujillo will call the action on KZWB 97.9 FM for the Rock Springs Tigers, while Erick Pauley will provide play-by-play on KUGR 104.9 FM for Green River. The Blood Drive games have become a signature night on the local sports calendar, routinely drawing packed gyms and strong participation from both communities. That total, up 35 pints from the previous year, was enough to help save more than 2,100 lives, with Green River narrowly winning the donation competition, 365-349. The winner of the blood drive will be announced between the girls’ and boys’ games.
