Lewis A. Roney (July 7, 1922 – September 28, 2004) was an American college basketball player. He was a starting guard for the Wyoming Cowboys' 1943 National Championship team and later a teacher and coach.
Roney, a 6'3 guard who grew up on a dairy farm in Powell, Wyoming, played for the Cowboys from 1941 to 1943, then returned to the Cowboys for the 1946–47 season after a stint in the United States Navy during World War II. Roney served in the Pacific for his World War II tour of duty.[1] During the Cowboys' championship year, coach Everett Shelton credited the insertion of the energetic Roney into the starting lineup as one of the keys to the team's success that year.[2]
After the close of his collegiate career, Roney became a teacher and coach in Laramie, Wyoming.[1] His son, Lew played basketball at Yale, where he earned a BS in engineering, and then earned a masters math at Wyoming, before moving to Cheyenne and becoming a coach and math instructor at Cheyenne Central High School. His father, Lew Roney was inducted into the University of Wyoming athletics hall of fame as a member of the 1943 national championship team in 1993.[3]
