Riverton will have Pat Patterson as its new coach, pending board approval next week, the Riverton Ranger and Casper Star-Tribune have reported.

Patterson has been the coach at American Falls High School in Idaho. American Falls went 5-4 last year and lost in the first round of the Class 3A playoffs.

Former Riverton coach Jeremy McCormick resigned earlier this month.

Riverton went 7-3 last year but lost in the first round of the 3A playoffs.

With some help from smalltownpapers.com, I added four new games to the database — three from Newcastle’s 1938 season.

For 1938, I added Newcastle’s 23-0 loss to Hot Springs, S.D., on Sept. 23; Newcastle’s 33-0 loss to Custer, S.D., on Nov. 11, and a loss to Edgemont on Oct. 28 (could be either 19-14 or 20-14; added to the missing games list because of the ambiguity of the final score).

I also added Upton’s 25-0 loss to Edgemont, S.D., on Oct. 19, 1945.

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