Updates: Burlington, Byron, Manderson, Star Valley, Evanston

by ⋅ 2 Comments

Using some slick web sleuthing, I knocked four games off the missing games list this week:

I found the result for Byron’s 18-6 victory over Manderson on Oct. 2, 1959, and also found the result for Byron’s 41-0 victory over Burlington on Oct. 6, 1949 (not Oct. 7 as previously thought).

The victory helps bump a couple of Byron streaks up a notch. The 1949 victory increases the winning streak the Eagles had from 1945-50 to what is now recognized at 27 games, tied with Buffalo’s recent streak for fifth-longest in state history (of course, the Eagle streak was reported to be in the 40-plus range; only 27 of those have been verified). Also, it bumps Byron’s unbeaten streak over that stretch to 27, again tied with Buffalo’s streak, this time tied for 10th all-time. The 1949 victory also increased Byron’s road winning streak in the stretch from 1945-52 to 18 games, now alone at third place in the state records, and bumped the unbeaten streak to 18 games, as well, tied for fourth-best all-time with another Byron streak from the late 1960s.

The 1959 victory increases Byron’s home winning streak in the span from 1953-61 to 31 games, increasing the state record Byron had, and of course increases the unbeaten home winning streak to 31, as well.

Also:

I found the date and corrected the location for Star Valley’s 54-0 loss to Salt Lake City East on Oct. 10, 1936 (the game was in Afton, not SLC)

I found the score and the date for Evanston’s 19-0 loss to Montpelier, Idaho, on Oct. 16, 1936 (I had the winner and the location, but not a specific score and not the date)

All of the updates have been made on all the relevant pages.

Shrine Bowl names Cundall executive director, contributes $22,000 to Shriners Hospital

by ⋅ 2 Comments

Former Gillette and Greybull coach John Cundall has been named the new executive director of the Shrine Bowl.

Cundall was the head coach of the North Shrine team in both 2004 and 2011 and was an assistant coach for two other Shrine games.

T.J. Claunch, who was executive director for the past nine years, resigned his position, creating the vacancy for Cundall.

The Shrine Bowl Board of Directors also announced $22,000, the proceeds from the 2012 Shrine Bowl, would be sent to the Shriners Hospital in Salt Lake City.

The 2013 Shrine Bowl is set for June 8 in Casper.

Playoff scenarios entering Week 7

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

Here are the playoff scenarios entering Week 7:

Class 4A
In: Natrona, Gillette, Sheridan, Cheyenne East, Kelly Walsh.
Still in the hunt: Cheyenne Central, Evanston, Laramie, Rock Springs, Cheyenne South.
Out: No one.
What’s decided: Gillette and Natrona will be the top two seeds, no matter what. After that, it’s a race for qualifying and seeds. About the only team that can absolutely control its own destiny next week is Central, which would secure a playoff spot with a win over Rock Springs. South has the most work to do and could be mathematically eliminated next week if the right scenarios unfold, but even the Bison could enter the final week at 0-8 and still have a chance to make the playoffs if both Laramie and Rock Springs lose next week, as well.

Class 3A West
In: Powell, Green River.
Still in the hunt: Star Valley, Cody, Worland, Jackson.
Out: No one.
What’s decided: No much. Green River hosts Star Valley and travels to Powell to close the season, and those games will help decide who hosts and who travels in the first round. The only team that could be mathematically eliminated with a loss next week (excluding results of all other games next week) is Jackson.

Class 3A East
In: Douglas.
Still in the hunt: Riverton, Rawlins, Lander, Buffalo, Torrington.
What’s decided: Very little. Douglas will host a first-round playoff game, but after that, seeding is up in the air. Next week will be telling, though — the winner of the Riverton-Douglas game is the conference champ and earns hosting duties through the first two rounds of the playoffs, while Torrington would be mathematically eliminated with a loss to Buffalo.

Class 2A West
In: Lyman.
Still in the hunt: Lovell, Kemmerer, Mountain View, Thermopolis, Pinedale, Greybull.
Out: Big Piney.
What’s decided: Not much, but we do know Lyman would have to lose both of its final two games to lose the conference championship; a win either in Week 7 or Week 8 gives Lyman the conference title. Greybull would be eliminated from the playoff race next week with a loss to Big Piney. In between, it’s a mess.

Class 2A East
In: Big Horn, Newcastle.
Still in the hunt: Wheatland, Wright, Glenrock, Burns, Moorcroft, Tongue River.
Out: No one.
What’s decided: Big Horn will host a first-round playoff game no matter what. Newcastle will earn the same honor if the Dogies beat Wheatland next week. No matter what happens next week, though, the Week 8 game between Big Horn and Newcastle will decide the conference champion. Both Moorcroft and Tongue River would be mathematically eliminated with losses next week.

Class 1A 11-man West
In: Cokeville, Burlington.
Still in the hunt: Shoshoni, Rocky Mountain, Wind River, Saratoga.
Out: Wyoming Indian, Riverside.
What’s decided: The Week 8 Cokeville-Burlington game will decide the conference champion, no matter what happens next week. A ton of scenarios exist for deciding the final two seeds in this conference, as Shoshoni and Rocky Mountain (both 3-2 in conference play) have the upper hand on Wind River and Saratoga (both 2-3). Saratoga has the most direct affect on these scenarios, as the Panthers play both the Wranglers and Grizzlies in the final two weeks of the season.

Class 1A 11-man East
In: Upton-Sundance, Lusk.
Still in the hunt: Pine Bluffs, Lingle, Southeast.
Out: NSI.
What’s decided: Surprisingly little. The Week 8 Upton-Sundance/Lusk game will decide the conference champion, although, if either team loses next week, the chance exists that either one could slide out of hosting a first-round playoff game, and a slim chance exists that either one of those teams, with two losses the next two weeks, could slide to as far as fourth. Next week’s Lingle-Pine Bluffs game might end up deciding a playoff spot.

Class 1A six-man North
In: Dubois, Meeteetse.
Still in the hunt: Hulett, Kaycee, Ten Sleep.
Out: No one.
What’s decided: Dubois can wrap up the conference title if it can beat Hulett next week. Meanwhile, Ten Sleep would be eliminated from the postseason (and the other four would qualify) with a loss to Kaycee next week. The only Week 8 conference game pits Meeteetse against Hulett; the bulk of the seedings will likely be decided next week, although it’s possible a three-way tie for the second, third and fourth seeds could develop.

Class 1A six-man South
In: Midwest, Snake River, Guernsey.
Still in the hunt: Farson, Hanna.
Out: No one.
What’s decided: We’ll know (almost) everything after Week 7. The conference champion will be decided in Week 7 as Midwest travels to Snake River. Midwest is guaranteed to host a first-round playoff game, win or lose next week. The winner of next week’s Farson-Hanna game is in the playoffs and the loser is out. Farson has an outside chance of creating a tie with Guernsey and Snake River for the second, third and fourth seeds if the Rattlers lose to Midwest next week and if the Pronghorns can beat the Rattlers in the only South Conference game scheduled for Week 8.

Thoughts? Questions? Ideas? Post ’em below. We’re almost to the postseason and I’m excited to see what unfolds the next two weeks.

Week 6 picks: 27 years in the making

by ⋅ 1 Comment

(Click for a little bit larger version.) Thinking about doing this every week. What would you think of something like this as an addition to the blog?

Of course, I picked Midwest for the inaugural version of this infographic… 🙂

By the way, the closest Midwest has come to breaking that 27-year streak and beating Guernsey in Midwest came in 1999, when the Vikings beat the Oilers 7-6 on a cold and wet night in the oilfield. This one still bothers me… I was a senior this year for Midwest and felt we had a pretty good team. I was the holder for our extra points and field goals and after we scored our lone touchdown of this game, I took my knee to receive the snap. But the ball was wet and never made it more than an inch above the ground; I shouted “Fire!” (although at the time, it probably sounded like a muffled “Faaaaaa!”), grabbed the ball and started rolling right. I threw the only pass I ever threw in four years of high school football and, well… Quack, quack. Hence the final score. Honestly, it’s the only play I remember from that game. Another reminder that 48 minutes of toil can often come down to one play — and in this case, the prolonging of a streak that’s now reached 27 years.

On to the picks. Projected winners in bold. A huge week this week — not as many easy picks as there have been the past couple weeks.

My mistake

by ⋅ 5 Comments

I don’t know how to start this, or end this, or explain this, other than to apologize, ask for forgiveness and move on.

The only way I know how to start is to say I’m human. I make mistakes. Just look at the site updates category on this blog and you can see I’ve made my fair share of mistakes in dealing with games, dates, locations, players, coaches and a myriad of other pieces that come from 22,000-plus contests over more than a century. Several other mistakes may still exist on the site.

My most recent mistake, though, affected more people than I ever anticipated a mistake on this site could reach.

In short, I messed up. And I let a lot of people down.

The story goes something like this: Tonight, I received a call from my former colleague at the Casper Star-Tribune, Jack Nowlin, who was working on a follow-up to his solid work the past week with the Rawlins football team. His quick comment sent me lurching — he was counting, and he saw only 34 losses in a row for Greybull from 1978-82, not 35 as I have been listing on my streaks page and pimping on this blog.

So I counted, again. This time, I only came up with 34, too, just like Jack had.

The instant ramification is that now Rawlins alone has the state record for the longest losing streak, as the Outlaws broke their 35-game losing streak by beating Torrington last week.

The bigger fallout is that Jack — as well as a ton of other people, including you, the people reading this — was depending on me to put out the right information. Several other media outlets reported in the past few weeks about the streak and about Rawlins’ attempt to avoid breaking it. I wrote about it, too. A ton of other people read those stories and assumed those guys — and, through association, myself — had their information right.

Those other folks did. I didn’t.

To that end, I failed. And I’m sorry.

Sorry to reporters like Jack who were depending on me; sorry to editors who based their coverage decisions on the info I had posted on my site; sorry to the readers I misled; sorry to the players and coaches in Rawlins who thought they were only tied, not alone, with the longest losing streak in state history; sorry to the Greybull teams for needlessly adding to your misery and not allowing you that moment of relief when you knew you were no longer alone at the top; sorry to everyone, absolutely everyone, who was misled. You have a right to be upset with me, just as I am upset with myself.

Even though my mistake was unintentional, that does not justify the mistake, or the ramifications that arose from it. My only promise is to do my best to never allow it to happen again.

Southeast forfeits victory

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

According to multiple sources, Southeast has forfeited its victory over Pine Bluffs after using an ineligible player.

Southeast is now 1-2 in 1A 11-man East Conference play; Pine Bluffs is 2-1.

Southeast had beaten Pine Bluffs 41-0 on Sept. 21.

Always unbeaten: 14 of Wyoming’s most unique high school football coaches

by ⋅ 4 Comments

The 14 men who have pulled off the feat are not well known in the Equality State.

Even to fanatics of Wyoming high school football, the names are for the most part unfamiliar.

Wayne Jacka, Duard Davids, Alven Thorson, Harry McGee and 10 other coaches, though, did more in one football season in Wyoming than many coaches have ever been able to do.

Those 14 coaches, in their one season coaching in Wyoming, led their teams to undefeated seasons — and then left, ending their Wyoming football coaching careers forever unbeaten.

What some of these men did after leaving their coaching position has been lost to history. What others did is downright remarkable.

Of the 14 coaches who led their Wyoming school to an undefeated season, only to step down at the end of the year, Jack Johnson and Del Wight are two of the most decorated.

Wight, who led Worland to a 9-0 season in 1965, didn’t stay in the high school ranks for long. He was a defensive coordinator for several major college programs, including North Dakota from 1969-71, New Mexico from 1972-76, Washington State from 1982-85, Wyoming from 1986-90 and San Diego State in 1993. He also coached at Fresno State, Northern Iowa and Kansas. He was also a coach in the CFL with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Toronto Argonauts and the ill-fated Las Vegas Posse. To get there, though, after his 1965 stint in Worland, he moved to Pocatello, Idaho, and was the head coach at Pocatello High for awhile before heading into the college ranks.

Johnson, meanwhile, led Torrington to a perfect 9-0 season in 1969 but left for Montana soon afterward. In the Big Sky State, he became legendary. Leading Great Falls CM Russell High School, Johnson is Montana’s all-time winningest high school football coach and is one of the winningest active coaches in the nation with 341 career victories entering this season. He’s a member of the national high school coaches hall of fame and coached both CFL legend Dave Dickenson and NFL flameout Ryan Leaf in high school.

The 12 other men who coached their teams to perfect records in their one year as the head coach of a Wyoming football team — and their exploits either before or after their one year as head coach, when known — are posted below:

Earl Campbell, Kemmerer, 1924: 5-0 (No information available.)

Duard Davids, Byron 1967: 7-0-1 (As a student, Davids went to North Gem High in Idaho and then Utah State, graduating from USU in 1962. He is retired now and, from what I can tell, lives in Seattle.)

Royal Huckins, Torrington 1943: 5-0 (Huckins only coached Torrington’s last five games of the 1943 season, and the Trailblazers finished 6-1 that season. That year, he took over for Wes Evans, who was called to fight in World War II. Huckins played college football at Northern Colorado; what he did after coaching Torrington is unknown.)

Wayne Jacka, Sunrise 1931: 6-0 (According to 1940 Census records, Jacka lived in Cimmaron, Kan., that year. I think he’s from Kansas, although he may have also lived in Colorado for awhile, and it appears he died in the early 1980s.)

Jack Johnson, Torrington 1969: 9-0

Charles Marlowe, Laramie 1916: 3-0-3 (No information available.)

Harry McGee, Reliance 1945: 6-0 (McGee had been at Superior High as a commerce teacher prior to coming to Reliance. He may have also lived in Big Piney, although I’m not sure about that.)

Bob Pratt, Ten Sleep 1961: 5-0 (No information available.)

Leo Sherman, Sheridan 1911: 4-0 (No information available.)

Grant Smith, Cowley 1955: 4-0 (I think Smith may have been from Cowley.)

Alven Thorson, Glenrock 1940: 5-0 (Thorson died in 2009 at age 100. He had moved to Seattle in 1952 and taught at Ballard High School. He also apparently worked for a time with the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association. He received his M.A. in Education from UW in 1946. He also apparently lived in Billings for a time in the late 1940s and early 1950s. He was originally from Milan, Minn.)

John Whatcott, Byron 1958: 9-0 (From what I can gather, Byron was the first stop for Whatcott after graduating from Utah State, where he was a star running back for the Aggies. He soon moved back to Utah — he was head coach at Logan High in 1963 — and eventually became an athletic director at Pine View High School in St. George. From what I can tell, he still lives around the St. George area.)

Del Wight, Worland 1965: 9-0

Harry Wiley, Manderson 1924: 4-0 (No information available.)

If you have any information you can share about these one-stop-in-Wyoming wonders and what they did either before or after their perfect season in Wyoming, I would love to hear it! Email me or post a comment below.

It’s also interesting to note that, since Johnson left for Montana in 1969, this one-season perfection and evacuation hasn’t happened again. And with the coaches of all the remaining undefeated teams in the state having at least one year of head coaching experience under their belts in Wyoming, it won’t happen this year….
