Cokeville and Lusk are squaring off for the 1A 11-man championship, so that must mean it’s time for some more trivia! Let’s stay on coaches.
OK, so if you follow the site at all, you know that Cokeville coach Todd Dayton is the winningest coach in Wyoming football history, with 252 victories entering today’s title game. My question: Which coach, since 1933, has piled up more LOSSES than any other coach in state history?
Post guesses as comments; each wrong guess earns a hint.

No one courageous enough to venture a guess, I guess…
The answer? Former Burns and Pinedale coach Richard Steege, with 119 losses. Coach Steege won his fair share of games, too — almost 100 — but lost 119 along the way.

Afraid was going to see my name after the last couple of seasons….Steege is a great guy enjoyed coaching against him
You don’t coach that many seasons without being good at what you do. Coach Steege also led Burns to a state title in 1983 and definitely is a guy I would like to have on my sideline.
