John "Gabe" Gabrielsen Interview

If you are a fan of Wyoming Prep sports, you know the voice of John "Gabe" Gabrielsen. He's the guy talking himself hoarse, announcing games from around the state and giving up-to-date information on your favorite teams every morning at 9:30 on KVOW radio. What you may not realize is that he is one of the major forces behind WyoPreps dot Com, a web site devoted to high school sports around the state of Wyoming. Since it is this web site that inspired the creation of this magazine, and since he is recognized as one of the foremost authorities on Wyoming Preps, it only seemed fair that I interview John Gabrielsen and let him say a word or two about how the 2005-2006 season is shaping up.

Mary K. Boyle: Several schools have changed conferences this year. How much of an impact are these
changes having on the standings?

John Gabrielsen: The biggest impact is the Lyman boys moving down to 2A. They were a very tough 3A team last year, and will be one of the impact teams in their new division. Pinedale was forced to move up to 3A this year. They would have made a serious run at the 2A title had they gotten to say, but since they moved up, they'll battle for a spot at state.

A word from the Publisher

It is with great excitement that I introduce you to WyoPreps.com. Our magazine and website are dedicated to celebrating our local high school athletes and the coaches who encourage and nurture the talent in each of the kids with whom they associate.

High school sports are indeed unique. Cheering on friends and family at the football or basketball games are embedded in most of our memories as some of the best times we had growing up. In a rural community like ours, every player is known to loyal fans; each young man or woman is recognized as not only athletes, but individuals who contribute to our schools and communities.

My staff and I feel fortunate to have had the expertise and input of John “Gabe” Gabrielsen throughout this process; no one (in my opinion) knows more about the goings on in Wyoming prep athletics than John, and he has been an integral part of bringing this magazine together. We would also like to extend our gratitude to the coaches and athletic directors who took time out of their extremely busy schedules to answer questions, send pictures, rosters, and a whole variety of information. Without their efforts, WyoPreps.com wouldn’t have made it off the drawing board. I would personally like to take this opportunity to thank my dedicated staff and sales team, all of whom have worked very hard on this project.

This is just the beginning for WyoPreps.com. We are already looking forward to the March issue, which will cover the spring sports. We will also have a fall issue to spotlight the sports that help kick off the new school year. And, of course, you can always find us on the web () for the latest news and scores. Watch for WyoPreps.com throughout the year for more insight from John Gabrielsen, and more news on your favorite prep teams.
