School: Farson
Nickname: Pronghorns
Colors: green and yellow
Stadium: Unknown
State championships: None
Times worth remembering: The Pronghorns’ best season came in 1989, a 5-2 campaign that was one victory away from a playoff berth. The Pronghorns won four straight at one point in that season, but a 40-28 loss to Hanna — a team Farson had beaten 24-12 earlier in the season — kept them out of the playoffs.
Times worth forgetting: The 1990 season was the Pronghorns’ last gasp. After losing five games — four on the field, one by forfeit — Farson gave up the ghost. The Pronghorns forfeited their final three games and opted not to return to the field until coming back with a six-man program 2009.

School: Goshen Hole
Nickname: Spartans
Colors: green and yellow
Stadium: Unknown
State championships: None
Times worth remembering: The four years from 1972-75 were the best in the Spartans’ brief history. In those four years, the Spartans never had a losing season and finished with a program-best 7-1 record in 1974.
Times worth forgetting: After finding some early success in the infancy stages of the school, the Spartans hit some tough times in 1969-71, suffering three straight losing seasons, including a bottoming-out 1-7 season in 1970. Only a 20-14 win over Glendo kept the Spartans from a winless season.

School: Rozet
Nickname: Mustangs
Colors: red and white
Stadium: Unknown
State championships: none
Short history: Rozet had football just twice — a practice/sub-varsity squad in 1952 that never played an official game, and a varsity team that went 0-4 in 1953. The Mustangs’ best effort came in their final game, a 45-19 loss to Big Horn on Oct. 30, 1953, in Rozet.

School: Snake River
Nickname: Rattlers
Colors: purple and yellow
Stadium: Unknown
State championships: None
Times worth remembering: The 3-4 2009 season, Snake River’s first in 52 years, gave the Rattlers more victories than all their other years combined. Only two victories are on the books for the Rattlers before then — a 37-0 win over Big Piney in 1952 and a 32-0 win over Farson in 1953.
Times worth forgetting: The available records have five consecutive winless seasons for Baggs — 0-3 in 1954, 0-4 in 1955, 0-2 in 1956 and 1957 and 0-1 in 1958 — before the school hung up the helmets for more than 50 years after ’58.

    I just thought you could change state championships from none to one. The 2010 season worth remembering with a 10-0 run. Just thought you might want to add…thanks!

    GHHS played in Yoder (on the same field as SEHS). It became “Teeters Memorial Field” on 9-1-67.
