Star Valley’s Howell resigns to take Utah job

The Star Valley Independent reported Friday that Braves coach Chris Howell has resigned to take a head coaching position in Utah.

Howell, who led the Braves to a 10-1 record and the Class 3A state championship last season, spent eight years as Star Valley’s head coach. His overall record with the Braves was 42-35, including a runner-up finish in 2012 to go with last year’s title.

Howell will take over as the head coach and will teach at Ridgeline High School in Millville, which is set to open and launch its football program this fall, the Independent report said.

A replacement has not yet been named.

Howell is the second Wyoming head coach to step down this offseason, joining Cheyenne South’s Tracy Pugh.
