A little more exploring of yearbooks on classmates.com led me to some more updates — the bulk of them for Pine Bluffs in the early 1940s.

New entries

Added Wind River’s 33-19 victory over Burlington between Oct. 23 and Oct. 27, 1990 (added to missing games list because site and date couldn’t be identified)

Added Pine Bluffs’ 46-0 victory over Sidney, Neb., on Nov. 11, 1941

Added Pine Bluffs’ 21-13 victory over Burns on Oct. 8, 1943

Added Albin’s 19-13 victory over Pine Bluffs on Oct. 22, 1943

Missing games

Found the score for Pine Bluffs’ 51-19 loss to Kimball, Neb., on Oct. 27, 1944

Found the score for Hanna’s 24-20 victory over Reliance on Oct. 22, 1948

Noted that Albin’s 12-0 victory over Pine Bluffs on Oct. 23, 1942, was played in Albin

I also added three games that showed up on Big Piney’s 1953 schedule; however, no results were available and they’ve been added to the missing games list: Lyman at Big Piney on Oct. 9, Big Piney at Cokeville on Oct. 23, 1953, and Big Piney at Farson on Oct. 30, 1953.

Other notes

Added that Rocky Mountain’s 20-14 victory over Wind River on Oct. 12, 1990, was in overtime

Noted that Midwest’s 12-8 victory over Southeast in the Class B playoffs on Oct. 20, 1979, was in Torrington, not Yoder

Seven games were added to the database. All the changes have been made on all the relevant pages.

All-state teams

Thanks to the help of Star Valley’s Ballard Johnson, I updated six inaccuracies I had on Star Valley’s all-state listings: I corrected Kevin Croft and Kim West’s names on the 1970 all-state team (not Craft, and not Tim); corrected Travis Lenz’ school for the 1971 all-state team (Wheatland, not Star Valley) and corrected Kirk Dana’s name for the 1971 all-state team (not Mike); corrected Layne Turner’s name on the 1972 all-state team (not Lane); and corrected Ballard Johnson’s name on the 1973 all-state team (not Bill). Ballard has been a big help before with some research; thanks again to him for his assistance!
