With big thanks again extended to Jim Craig — who’s been doing yeoman’s work with digging up all-state teams from the 1960s — the 1966 Class AA and Class A all-state teams, the 1968 Class A and Class B all-state teams and the 1969 Class B all-state teams have been added to the site.

I also updated the 1963 all-state teams to include the Class AA and Class A all-state teams as chosen by the Associated Press, which I feel was more representative of both classifications. In the process, I removed the 1963 UPI Class AA/A combined all-state team. That team was as follows:

First team

CHEYENNE CENTRAL: Dick Gish, QB; Allen Russell, E; Dave Coulson, T.
CHEYENNE EAST: Brent Fabian, HB; Dan Madrid, G.
LANDER: Tom McKinney, HB.
LARAMIE: John Godbe, E; Pinky Johnson, G.
NATRONA: Dave Schilling, T; Diemer True, C; Herb Mapp, FB.
RIVERTON: Roger Campbell, T; Everett Befus, HB.

Second team
CHEYENNE EAST: Keith Beckwith, G.
LARAMIE: Wes Ackerson, HB.
LUSK: Tommy Thompson, FB; Jack Butler, E.
NATRONA: Dick Phillips, QB; Don Wilcox, T; Bob Phillips, E.
RAWLINS: Tom McCulloch, G.
SHERIDAN: Jim Wilson, C.

Thanks to Jim’s help, I also added Byron’s 61-13 victory over the Cody JV on Aug. 30, 1963.

This victory increased Byron’s consecutive scoring streak for that stretch to 97 games, still fifth-best all-time.

The changes are reflected on all the relevant pages.
