Hulett native Ryan Neiman has been named the new head football coach at his alma mater.
Neiman, a Hulett High School graduate, will help lead the Red Devils as they transition from 11-man to six-man football. The Red Devils played a sub-varsity six-man schedule last fall and will play as part of the Wyoming six-man league this fall.
Neiman replaces Steve Colling, who had led the Red Devils for the past 19 seasons. Colling had the third-longest tenure among active coaches in Wyoming, eclipsed only by Cokeville’s Todd Dayton and Natrona’s Steve Harshman.
Colling went 72-87 in his tenure with the Red Devils.
