Updates: Farson, Snake River, Cokeville, Big Piney

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

Some little updates from the past couple weeks, with a decidedly southwest theme:

Added the score of Farson’s 19-12 victory over Baggs (Snake River) on Oct. 21, 1955.

Added the score of Cokeville’s 45-21 loss to South Rich, Utah, on Sept. 24, 1965.

Found the date and location, and the correct score, of Big Piney’s 28-19 victory over South Rich, Utah, on Sept. 30, 1966 (it was in Utah).

Research on the year 1931 has ended and the beginning work on 1930 has started. It’s slow going, what with life and stuff, but I’m slowly getting there….

Updates: Evanston

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

I consulted one of my old, favorite sources to fill in three games I had missing for Evanston: George B. Felt’s A Century of Utah High School Football. Thanks to it, I have updated the Red Devils’ records with scores for three games:

A 12-0 loss to Morgan, Utah, on Oct. 1, 1943

An 18-13 victory over Heber City, Utah, on Oct. 28, 1938

A 19-0 victory over Heber City, Utah, on Oct. 8, 1937

All the updates have been made on all the relevant pages.

Updates: Mostly Meeteetse, Hulett and Burlington

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

The rain here in Laramie has put a crimp in my outdoor work, so I’ve found some time to go to the library and make some updates. In addition to continuing my research on 1932, I added these updates:

Meeteetse’s 2002 season was filled in quite a bit. I took one game off the missing games list, finding the date for the Sept. 27 game between the Longhorns and Midwest. I also added three games — a 42-38 victory over the Cody sophomores on Sept. 19, a loss to Roberts, Mont., on Oct. 7 (added to the missing games list because I couldn’t find a score) and a 40-30 victory over Joliet, Mont., on Oct. 14 (added to the missing games list because I couldn’t pin down a location).

I also stumbled across some more information in Burlington’s 1943 season and added two games: a 39-0 victory over Shoshoni sometime between Oct. 13 and 16 (added to the missing games list because I couldn’t find the exact date) and a 20-18 loss to Basin on Nov. 5.

I also got a hold of some more Rapid City Journal microfilm and knocked six more games off the missing games list, including three from Hulett’s 1959 season. For that season, I found the score for Hulett’s 12-o victory over Vale, S.D., on Sept. 4; found the score for Hulett’s 33-13 loss to Nisland, S.D., on Sept. 11; and found the score for Hulett’s 25-0 loss to Buffalo, S.D., on Oct. 30.

The others: Found the score for Hulett’s 32-6 loss to Hill City, S.D., on Sept. 7, 1984; found the score and corrected the date for Hulett’s 47-25 loss to Newell, S.D., on Oct. 4, 1967; found the score for Douglas’ 13-0 victory over Edgemont, S.D., on Sept. 11, 1970

Updates: 1933 through 1945 (almost 3,000 games)

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

Wow. Nearly 3,000 more games over the course of 13 seasons — the newest site update was a massive one. However, now, every season from 1933 to 1945 is posted here for you to check out.

The late 1930s and early 1940s were definitely an interesting time in Wyoming’s high school football history. From the playoff structure to school infighting to six-man football to World War II, this was a time of change. I don’t think any other time period saw as much change in Wyoming high school football as the 12 years from 1934 to 1946… but I’ll fill you in on all that later.

For now, check out your favorite team’s page to see how they did in the 13 years from 1933 to 1945, the newest additions to this site. Also, take time to check out the pages I added for the seven programs in this era that disbanded for good before the end of World War II: the Carpenter Coyotes, the Fort Laramie Pioneers, the Fort Washakie Indians, the Gebo Miners, the Hawk Springs Hawks, the Heart Mountain Eagles and Monarch.

Check out the all-time standings for every program, either by winning percentage or by number of victories. Adding 13 years to these standings shook them up quite a bit!

Look at the school timeline (at the bottom of the page) and see when the state has seen its most movement of teams.

Scour the missing games list and the Coaches Project listings to see if you can help me fill in some missing information!

Most of all, take the time to browse at your own pace, looking at what you want when you want. Enjoy what I’ve posted. After all, that’s why it is there in the first place.

Meanwhile, for me, the research continues. I’ve been slowed down by life a bit this summer, but hopefully within the next 10 months, my research will be “done.” Coe Library awaits….

(By the way, the latest update helped me reach an interesting milestone for this site. I have now logged 20,014 games, finally breaking that 20,000 barrier! If you’re interested, I keep a running total after each site update on the front page of the site.)

Updates: Seasons 1933 through 1945 (coming soon) and some Nebraska stuff

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

So the big news for today is that I’m starting to upload the seasons 1933 through 1945 onto the Web site. It will take several days, maybe several weeks, so bear with me as I make changes to basically every page on this site. Trust me, it’ll be worth it.

In other news, Nebraska microfilm, from the interlibrary loan department at Coe, arrived this week. It helped me with some updates:

Missing games

Added the score for Goshen Hole’s 34-12 loss to Lyman, Neb., on Sept. 23, 1966.

Found the date and location for Huntley’s 22-7 victory over the Gering, Neb., JV on Oct. 12, 1966 (it was in Huntley).

Found the score for Huntley’s 12-6 loss to the Gering, Neb., JV on Sept. 15, 1965.

Found the location of Huntley’s 13-7 victory over Lyman, Neb., on Oct. 6, 1965 (it was in Huntley).

Found the score for Albin’s 38-18 loss to Morrill, Neb., on Oct. 4, 1950.

Found the score for Guernsey’s 34-6 loss to Lyman, Neb., on Nov. 3, 1950.

Found the location of Albin’s 41-6 loss to Harrisburg, Neb., on Nov. 3, 1950 (it was in Harrisburg).

Updates: Hodgepodge of additions, missing games, all-state listings and coaching

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

Here are my most recent updates. Since I’m almost broke, I’m working at a job that actually pays money now, so updates may be a bit more few and far between until school starts again in August. I’m not sure anyone will notice but me….

Additions

Added Byron’s 33-6 victory over Colstrip, Mont., on Sept. 19, 1952.

Added a canceled game on Sept. 26, 1958, between the Worland Institute and Buffalo.

Added a pair of games for Byron for 1956 — at Burlington on Oct. 13 and at Manderson on Oct. 26 (and added both to the missing games list because I couldn’t find scores/results for either game). This was a state championship season for Byron, so I’m really trying hard to pin down every game they played in this season.

Added a pair of games for Albin for 1951 — at Dix, Neb., on Oct. 19 and at home against Harrisburg, Neb., on Nov. 2 (and added both to the missing games list because I couldn’t find scores/results for either game).

Missing games

Found the date for Deaver-Frannie’s 48-12 victory over Belfry, Mont., on Sept. 14, 1951.

Found the score for Huntley’s 38-0 loss to Lyman, Neb., on Sept. 27, 1957.

Found the location for Glendo’s 32-28 loss to Lyman, Neb., on Oct. 26, 1956 (it was in Glendo).

All-state teams

The 1973 Class A all-state team has been added to the all-state listings.

Updates for Huntley.

All-state updates: 1997 Class 2A; 1995 Class 1A-D2; 1971, 1972 and 1982 Class A

by ⋅ 2 Comments

My recent run of success with the microfilm hasn’t been limited to just games. I’ve also added significantly to my all-state listings.

The Newcastle News Letter Journal came through with the 1997 Class 2A all-state team.

The 1982 Class A all-state team was kind of weird, as it was released by region and not as a whole. The Star Valley Independent ran the west side representatives and the Torrington Telegram ran the east side. Whatever; they’re together here, maybe for the first time ever.

I also came across the 1971 and 1972 Class A all-state teams in the Torrington Telegram.

The 1995 Class 1A Division II all-state team was the toughest of all the updates I put up. I had to piece it together from several sources, and it’s still not complete. I’m confident I have all the players from all the schools, but I don’t have the players’ names from Cokeville. So check out the listing and see of you can help me!

I’m still missing a few all-state teams, including the 1994 Class 1A nine-man team, the 1973 Class A team and the 1971 and 1970 Class AA and Class B teams. Oh, and a bunch from the 1960s. Darn hippies.

Updates: Mostly Hulett and Moorcroft (thanks South Dakota!), as well as Pine Bluffs, Basin, Worland Institute, Midwest, Rocky Mountain, Wheatland, Huntley, Meeteetse, Albin, Lyman and Mountain View

One of the toughest aspects of this project has been securing scores played against out-of-state opponents. The number of missing games to the number of out-of-state games is ridiculously out of proportion. Fortunately, today, I made a couple big steps in rectifying this.

Using the interlibrary loan capabilities at Coe Library, I secured four microfilm rolls of the Rapid City Journal. Those four rolls helped me take six games off my missing games list — a significant dent in an ever-shrinking project.

I’m also in the process of obtaining some more microfilm from Rapid City (you can only get four at a time) and from Scottsbluff (that costs money). Anyway, I’m making a big dent in this part of the missing games project.

The six games KOed today:

Hulett had four games knocked off the missing games list, all from the early 1960s. I found the score for Hulett’s 25-6 victory over Hill City on Sept. 7, 1963, the score for Hulett’s 42-12 victory over New Underwood on Oct. 9, 1963, the score for Hulett’s 12-8 loss to Buffalo, S.D., on Sept. 14, 1962, and the score for Hulett’s 25-13 loss to Newell on Oct. 28, 1960.

I also found the scores for two Moorcroft games in 1989: a 49-6 loss to Lead on Sept. 8 and a 28-0 victory over Rapid City St. Martins on Sept. 16. The win over St. Martins was actually Moorcroft’s only victory that season.

That inspired me to look for some more stuff with a fresh attitude, and conversely I found some info that had been missing for a long time. This is what I found:

Byes Project

Added two games for Pine Bluffs in 1952 — a 19-12 victory over the Laramie JV on Sept. 20 and a 12-0 victory over the Scottsbluff, Neb., JV on Sept. 24.

Added Basin’s 13-13 tie with the Worland Institute on Sept. 10, 1954.

Missing games

Found the date and location of Midwest’s 34-6 victory over the Upton JV on Aug. 30, 2002. (This is part of Midwest’s sub-varsity 2002 season, which has been a tough season for me to pin down exact dates… but this game, at least, is done.)

Found the location for Rocky Mountain’s 26-0 victory over the Cody JV on Oct. 15, 1994 (it was in Cody).

Found the location for Hulett’s 42-12 loss to St. Thomas More, S.D., on Sept. 29, 1992 (it was in Hulett).

Found the score for Wheatland’s 6-0 loss to the Cheyenne East JV on Aug. 29, 1969.

Found the location of Huntley’s 41-12 victory over Harrison, Neb., on Oct. 12, 1962 (it was in Huntley).

Found the missing score for Meeteetse’s 40-20 loss to the Cody JV on Oct. 22, 1959.

Found the missing date for Huntley’s 46-6 victory over Albin in 1951 — Oct. 26.

Also, thanks to coach Ted Holmstrom down in Lyman, I have the score of the Eagles’ loss to Mountain View on Oct. 12, 1963 — 43-0. Coach Holmstrom has been a big help to me on locating some missing info for the Eagles and his help is really appreciated!

Coaches Project: New listings for Arvada-Clearmont.

All the updates have been made on all the relevant pages.

Also, research continues backward in time. Years through 1935 are complete, and 1934 has been started…. Hey, who knew Gebo High School had a team? Yep, the Gebo Miners. Oh, and Fort Laramie High School also played football for a couple years? Hooray for finding out cool new stuff!
