Six years of standings added to Wyoming-football.com: 1986, 1990, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996

by ⋅ 1 Comment

Standings for six years of Wyoming high school football have been added to the site.

Standings have now been posted for 1986, 1990, 1992, 1993, 1995 and 1996.

To see all available year-by-year standings, click here.

In the process of adding standings, I realized a couple mistakes. First and foremost, I fixed a score from the 1992 season. On Oct. 2, Riverside beat Hanna 48-14; I had the score reversed, with Hanna winning. Thanks to Karla Pomeroy at the Basin Republican-Rustler for her help in verifying this fix!

Second, I realized I had miscalculated a couple season records. I miscounted Mountain View’s 1996 record — that year, the Buffalos went 6-3, not 7-2. I also fixed Saratoga’s 1990 record — the Panthers were 4-4, not 5-2. In an unrelated fix, I also corrected Sheridan’s record in 1974 — the Broncs were 3-6, not 2-7. The fixes are reflected on all the relevant pages.

Individual records tracked on wyoming-football.com

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

For the first time, wyoming-football.com has started to compile and track individual Wyoming high school football records.

The preliminary results of the individual record compilation is available here.

Currently available statistical records have been used to create the lists.

Individual records for Wyoming high school football vary greatly from school to school and from year to year. All records contained should be considered unofficial and incomplete. To submit an individual for placement among a top 10, please email site manager Patrick Schmiedt at pschmiedt@yahoo.com and include in your email any and all possible documentation to verify the record claim.

For now, individual records are limited to one season records only. Individual game records for rushing, passing and receiving yards can be submitted, but will not be posted until a representative sample can be obtained. Career records are not being tracked at this point due to their difficulty to authenticate.

Records are for 11-man football only.

Update: Cody, Lander

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

A quick update: I fixed the score of the Cody-Lander game played on Oct. 10, 1975. I had Lander winning 14-7; Cody actually won by that score. All the updates have been made on all the relevant pages.

The fix allowed me to post the final standings of the 1975 season.

Thanks to Nathan Meacham at the Cody Enterprise for his help in fixing this error!

Updates: All-America listings, Greybull coach

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

Two short updates:

I updated the all-America listings to include Howard Cook’s first-team mention on the Wigwam Wisemen team for 1954. Cook, from Worland, played in the national East-West all-America high school all-star game in 1955, playing for the West for coach Sammy Baugh (yes, THAT Sammy Baugh). Thanks to Howard for sharing that info with me!

I also updated the coach for Greybull’s 1960 championship season — it was Henry Eckroth, not Tony Vinnola. Thanks to Pat Schmidt (a different one, who spells his last name weird), who played for Eckroth that season in Greybull, for letting me know about the mistake!

Updates: 1967 and 1968 all-state, Cowley, Big Piney, Star Valley, Tongue River, Upton, Newcastle, Thermopolis

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

I have been chipping away at several updates the past couple weeks. Here is what has changed:

All-state listings:

I added the 1967 Class B and 1968 Class AA all-state listings to the all-state page. The 1968 Class AA listing I found was quite grainy and distorted, so if you see any misspelled names, please let me know by posting a comment below or emailing me at pschmiedt@yahoo.com. At least two names in the listings need updated — one name from Cheyenne East that was illegible (it looked sort of like John Klocher on my distorted copy) and another player who was referenced with last name only, Eisenman (the original listing did not give this player’s first name or school, but I’m guessing Sheridan for obvious reasons… help!).

I’m still looking for the 1967 Class AA and A and the 1968 Class B all-state teams.

Updates:

Fixed the score of Thermopolis’ 20-7 victory over Newcastle on Oct. 13, 2000. I had the score transposed, with Newcastle winning instead.

Corrected four incorrect season records — Big Piney’s 2009 record (Punchers were 6-3, NOT 5-4), Star Valley’s 2001 record (Braves were 9-2, NOT 10-1), Tongue River’s 2001 record (Eagles were 3-5, NOT 4-4) and Upton’s 2001 record (Bobcats were 4-6, NOT 5-5).

Updates have been made on all relevant pages.

Coaches Project:

I added the first name for Cowley’s coach in 1939-40: Moyle Knudsen was the Jags’ coach.

As always, if you spot any errors or have info that can help fill out this site better, please let me know, either by email or by posting here. Thanks!

As the 2012 season comes to a close for several teams, I will begin updating the site with the results of the season. The updates will be reflected on some pages and not on others. I will ask for your patience as I work on updating all the pages on the site the next couple weeks.
