Congrats Sis!

Lyman High School Hall of Fame Inductee...........Shannon Buckner Hamblin. We are so proud, she was inducted this last Friday. It was very cool, and emotional for some of us. It has been fun taking a trip down memory lane as we were asked to gather the information to be announced and put on the award. I even learned a few things about her. The award was presented to her three kids, Josh, Hailey, and Paige. Her birthday is in a few weeks and I can't think of a better tribute to her than this. She was an awesome athlete, but an even better sister.....if they had a Hall of Fame for sisters I would be the first to nominate her, right along with 2 others!

LHS Sports Hall of Fame

February - 2012

Shannon Buckner was the model student athlete at Lyman High School.  An Honor Roll student all 4 years, she was very dedicated to her teammates and prideful school colors. 

In volleyball, Shannon was a 4 year letter winner and the Setter on teams that had winning records each year.  As a sophomore, Shannon earned All Conference and Most Improved.

As a junior, the team had qualified for State and Shannon was named All State & All Conference and Co- MVP on the team.

As a senior, she led the team in winning Conference Championship, Districts & Regional Championship while the team took 5^th place at State.  Shannon was the team’s MVP and was All Conference, All Regional & All State!

In basketball, Shannon was the point guard that led LHS to many exciting victories!  She was a 4 year letter winner and MVP her junior and senior year of the team.  She was All Conference for 3 years, All State her junior and senior year and was a key player in winning the State Championship Title in 1985! 

As a senior, Shannon was nominated to play in the Summer Wyoming North-South All- Star Game at the University of Wyoming where she led the team in scoring.

Shannon lived up to her name while being a member of the 1982 Wyoming All - Star Basketball team that went to Europe to participate in the High School All Star Tour in Germany & Austria.  This 2 week tour was an opportunity for Shannon and her teammates to experience many cultures and meet many different types of people from all over the world while sharing a sport that bridged much international communication.

Due to Shannon’s outstanding academic and athletic career at LHS, Shannon was highly recruited by many colleges.  Shannon accepted a full ride scholarship for basketball and volleyball with Casper Junior College where she earned her Associates Degree in Business. 

In Volleyball, Shannon was Region IX All Conference for 2 years and as a Setter, was part of the history that posted the best team record in the school history up to that point.  She was also the point guard on the women’s basketball team that qualified for the National JUCCO Tournament.

Shannon was a fun and funny teammate.  Known as “Buc”, her quick wit and jokester ways among teammates made each season memorable.  She was proud of her family and always looked out for her most favorite teammate - little sis, Janet, known as “Little Buc,” who was also a gifted and talented teammate and student –athlete.

Shannon prioritized her school activities and always kept family first.  She was active in her Church Ward and never missed an opportunity to make people feel special.  Using her clever humor and quick wit were methods of how she would communicate effectively and make people feel comfortable.

Shannon Buckner Hamblin was truly a “Lady Eagle” that soared so high and accomplished much in her young life.    Shannon belongs in LHS’s Hall of Fame as her spirit remains in the halls of LHS!   

Her pride shows and her pride glows!
