For the census-designated place in Wyoming, see Antelope Valley-Crestview, Wyoming. The Antelope Valley coach Tom Hegre was worried slightly this week with the start of Golden League play.

Everyone knows what everyone else does.'' --Wound up tight: Hart coach Tom Kelly People named Tom Kelly include:
