Homestead

Homestead is where an athlete’s journey begins. These opportunities are designed around individual skill development, confidence, fundamentals, and a genuine love for basketball. Camps, clinics, workouts, trainings, and leagues give athletes opportunities to learn in a positive, developmental environment without requiring the commitment of a travel team. Homestead is intentionally grassroots and local, giving athletes a place to discover their potential and build the skills necessary for their next step. Whether an athlete is picking up a ball for the first time or looking to sharpen a specific skill, Homestead provides a pathway to learn the game, love the game, and grow the game.

Academy Camps provide high-energy, focused opportunities for athletes to develop fundamental skills, build confidence, and have fun playing the game.

Academy Clinics provide targeted instruction and focused repetitions around specific skills, techniques, positions, or aspects of the game.

Academy Workouts give athletes focused repetitions and structured opportunities to improve individual skills through purposeful practice.

Academy Trainings provide structured, progressive skill development designed to help athletes build a stronger and more complete foundation in their sport.

Academy Leagues give athletes an opportunity to develop their skills in a fun, competitive, and local game environment.

Club

Club is designed for athletes ready to take the next step from individual development into team-based competition. Club athletes learn how to practice, communicate, compete, and contribute as part of a team. The pathway includes entry-level Homestead Teams, Club Teams, and in some cases Select Teams, allowing athletes to find the appropriate level of commitment and competition. Club Teams primarily practice and compete at WYO Sports Ranch, while the Select Teams travel and compete throughout the region. Club is about more than winning games—it is about learning how to be a great teammate, competing with purpose, and growing together.

At this time, WYO Sports Ranch does not offer basketball Club teams. However, we host a series of youth basketball tournaments throughout the season. 

For high school athletes ready to take their game beyond the local level, our Select program provides an opportunity to compete against high-level competition and represent the WYO Sports Ranch on the road. Players develop their skills, basketball IQ, and competitive edge while gaining valuable team and tournament experience.

Meet RayQuan Evans

A Billings, Montana, native, Evans comes to Casper College from a season stint as an assistant coach for the Montana State University-Billings Yellowjackets. During the 2024-2025 season, the Yellowjackets’ record was 21-12 overall and 11-7 in conference play. In the conference tournament, the team made it to the semifinals.
 
Evans was a stellar player during his career as a basketball player for Skyview High School in Billings, where he dominated Class AA, winning back-to-back state championships and earning All-State honors, as well as being named to the USA Today All-State team. Evans earned AA All-State First Team honors and Eastern Class AA All-Conference First Team honors as a senior after averaging 18.2 points per game, 6.3 rebounds per game, 3.3 assists per game, and 2.1 steals per game. 
 
A standout at the junior college level playing for the North Idaho College Cardinals, Evans earned Most Valuable Player twice at the NJCAA Region 18 tournament and was recognized as the Northwest Athletic Conference Male Player of the Year in 2019. He contributed back-back NWAC Conference Championships during the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 seasons.  Evans was also named to the All-East Region Defensive team and was the East Region MVP in 2019. 
 
After graduating from NIC, Evans was recruited by the Florida State Seminoles. There, Evans helped the Seminoles to a 16-4 record during the 2019-2020 season and took home the first Atlantic Coast Conference Championship in school history. The next season, FSU made it to the Sweet 16 and ended the year as the 10th-ranked team in the country. During his time at Florida State, Evans won the Charlie Ward Outstanding Defensive Player of the Year Award, the Otto Petty Most Assists Award, the First Year Academic Achievement Award, and the Unsung Hero Award. 
 
Following his departure from Florida State, Evans continued his playing career in Östersund, Sweden. Although his career was cut short, the experience then led him to pursue player development and coaching.
