Any follow up on this. Seems like some real pre-season drama for the smallest classification of football in Wyoming. Perhaps Kremer’s was offered a position at the Cleveland Browns—God knows they could use him.
Folks in Kaycee have not responded. I spent all summer trying to contact Kremers with no reply, so it’s safe to say he won’t be in touch.
