Year four in charge of the program started out with plenty of promise for the Saulsberry as he guided the team to double digit wins in the first half of the season for the first time since 2014, but injuries would derail the teams momentum as they turned to league play, finishng with a below .500 record in Region IX North action for the first time in his tenure. The team did rebound to make a run in the tournament, but fell to eventual Region IX Champion Trinidad State in the quarterfinals in Scottsbluff.
The team made a second trip to the semifinals in 2023 after claiming the 3rd seed in the postseason tournament from the north. The Golden Eagles would fall to host Casper College in the semifinals though.
In April 2021, Saulsberry was officially announced as the fifth head coach in program history by having his interim tag removed. In his first season as the leader of the Golden Eagles, Saulsberry led them to a 17-12 overall record and to the semi-finals of the Region IX tournament.
As Interim Head Men's Basketball Coach, Saulsberry guided the Golden Eagles to a Region IX North regular-season title, finishing 11-12, 8-2 in region play.

Almost every one of the athletes who have competed under Saulsberry have recieved offers from four year institiutions ranging from NCAA Division I, Division II, and NAIA programs.
