As you can tell by the title, I’ve added and/or corrected several games to the database, thanks to continued work on the Byes Project and the missing games list. In all, 20 games were either added or corrected….

New additions:

Added Lyman’s 27-6 loss to Park City, Utah in 1968 (but also added it to the missing games list because of the unknown date (Sept. 5 or 6) and the unknown location)

Added Newcastle’s 13-12 loss to the Rapid City, S.D., JV on Oct. 21, 1966

Added Guernsey-Sunrise’s 13-6 victory over the Torrington JV on Sept. 4, 1965 (but also added it to the missing games list because of the unknown location)

Added Huntley’s 26-20 victory over the Natrona JV on Oct. 16, 1965

Added Saratoga’s 33-14 loss to the Laramie JV on Sept. 28, 1963

Added Ten Sleep’s 38-0 victory over Manderson on Oct. 10, 1961

Correction:

I corrected Cokeville’s opponent on Oct. 24, 1969 — it was Montpelier, Idaho, NOT Nampa, Idaho.

Missing games:

I made significant progress for Pine Bluffs’ 1962 season. I found scores for two games — Pine Bluffs beat Sterling St. Anthony’s (CO) 39-25 on Oct. 6 and Sunrise 19-12 on Oct. 26 — and found the location for the Sept. 14 game against Lingle (in Pine Bluffs).

Found the date for the Oct. 3, 2000, game between Normative Services and the Buffalo JV

Found the location for the Sept. 12, 1980, game between Burns and St. Mary’s (in Burns)

Found both the date and location for the Sept. 1, 1978, game between Star Valley and Logan, Utah (in Logan)

Found the date and corrected the location for the Oct. 1, 1976, game between Moorcroft and Edgemont, S.D. (it was in Moorcroft — the Wolves’ homecoming, in fact)

Found the score and corrected the date for the Oct. 17, 1968 game between Upton and the Rapid City sophomores; Upton won 6-0

Found a score for the Oct. 21, 1966, game between Pine Bluffs and Lyman, Neb.; Lyman, Neb., won 36-13

Found out that Huntley won its Sept. 15, 1965, game with the Gering, Neb., JV (but it remains on the missing games list because I didn’t find a final score)

Found out four games — an Oct. 27, 1969, game between Cokeville and Big Piney, a Sept. 2, 1966, game between Lyman and South Rich, Utah, a Oct. 14, 1966, game between Saratoga and Lingle, and a Oct. 11, 1963, game between Ten Sleep and Arvada-Clearmont — were canceled

Misc/future:

Thanks to coach Tim Gonzales in Mountain View, I now have a complete list of the Buffalos’ head coaches from the start of the program to the present. Thanks a ton, coach!

As for forthcoming updates, well, they’re forthcoming. The 2009 season will be up on the site soon, and will be accompanied by the 1946, 1947, 1948, 1949 and 1950 seasons… that’s why this update is taking a little bit longer than usual.

As always, if you see any incorrect, missing or misplaced information on this site, let me know at pschmiedt@yahoo.com.

Site updates: Record corrections for some teams

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

After putting it off and putting it off and putting it off, I finally got around to double-checking my records with those listed in the 1994 Shrine Bowl program. Not surprisingly, I came up with a ton of discrepancies — about 20 rows’ worth on college-ruled notebook paper. Most of them I’m pretty sure are errors on the Shrine Bowl program’s end, but double-checking did help me uncover a few places where I had miscounted season records. These corrections listed here aren’t corrections to any single game; they’re to season records, which I counted manually a couple years ago and botched in these cases. The corrections:

In 1982, Big Piney went 4-4, NOT 5-3

In 1980, Gillette went 5-4, NOT 4-5

In 1987, Douglas went 5-3, NOT 5-2

In 1962, Evanston went 6-3, NOT 5-4

In 1989, Green River went 5-4, NOT 6-3

In 1992, Kelly Walsh went 4-4, NOT 3-5

In 1993, Kelly Walsh went 3-5, NOT 2-6

In 1957, Kemmerer went 6-3, NOT 5-3

In 1954, Natrona went 5-4, NOT 4-5

In 1961, Natrona went 5-1-2, NOT 4-2-2

In 1977, Natrona went 6-3, NOT 7-2

In 1958, Lusk went 5-3, NOT 4-4

In 1990, Pine Bluffs went 7-2, NOT 6-3

In 1990, Riverside went 4-4, NOT 3-5

In 1984, Riverton went 5-4, NOT 6-3

In 1969, Shoshoni went 3-5, NOT 4-4

In 1991, Southeast went 2-5, NOT 3-4

In 1986, Tongue River went 2-6, NOT 3-5

These corrections have been posted on all the relevant pages.

Site updates: Lyman, Dubois, Shoshoni, Burns, Saratoga, Hanna, Sundance, Meeteetse, Ten Sleep, Hulett

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

I’ll be posting my thoughts about the Laramie championship games sometime this week… I’m still wrapping my head around some of the implications of the weekend, but I hope to have that posted sometime soon.

In the meantime, I’ve been chipping away at doing some site updates, trying to knock some games off of the missing games list. A few were kayoed this week:

Found locations for the following games:

The Oct. 15, 1997, game between the Evanston JV and Lyman (at Lyman)

The Sept. 29, 1993, game between the Green River JV and Dubois (at Green River (date was also corrected from Sept. 30))

The Oct. 21, 1993, game between the Riverton JV and Shoshoni (at Shoshoni)

The Oct. 25, 1991, game between Burns and Saratoga (at Burns)

The Sept. 23, 1987, game between Hanna and the Saratoga JV (at Hanna)

The Oct. 7, 1980, game between Sundance and Hill City, S.D. (at Sundance)

The Oct. 19, 1979, game between Sundance and Edgemont, S.D. (at Sundance)

Found dates for the following games:

The Sept. 22, 2000, game between Meeteetse and Ten Sleep

The Sept. 3, 1993, game between Hulett and the Gillette JV

Anyway, those games have been updated on all the relevant pages.

Also, I’ve been looking at the records listed in the 1994 Shrine Bowl program (if you don’t know that story, click here) and double-checking them against what I have listed. I’ve found a few discrepancies and I’m trying to resolve those soon. As I make changes, I will post here.

That’s it for now. Now that the 2009 season is over, though, don’t put your thoughts on hold until next August… I’ll be posting information here throughout the winter, spring and summer, so keep coming back in the offseason.

Site updates: Newcastle, Upton, Saratoga, St. Mary’s, Lyman, Guernsey-Sunrise, Burlington, Pine Bluffs, Sundance, Douglas

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

Four more games have been added to the database thanks to further progress with the Byes Project:

Newcastle’s 27-6 victory over Upton on Aug. 28, 1981 (thanks to Tracy Ragland in Newcastle for letting me know this one was missing!)

Saratoga’s 26-21 victory over the Kelly Walsh JV on Oct. 11, 1980

St. Mary’s 31-13 loss to Windsor, Colo., on Oct. 19, 1960

Lyman’s 8-0 loss to Park City, Utah, on Sept. 4, 1970

Two other games were added where I know the date, location and winner of the game, I just don’t have a final score: The Laramie JV’s victory over Guernsey-Sunrise on Sept. 17, 1982, in Guernsey, and the Cody JV’s victory over Burlington on Sept. 7, 1984, in Cody. Those two games have been added to the missing games list.

All of those games have been updated and all the relevant pages have been updated.

I also pinned down two locations for games on the missing games list: Guernsey-Sunrise’s 8-7 victory over Pine Bluffs on Sept. 4, 1981, was in Pine Bluffs, while Sundance’s 6-0 victory over Douglas on Sept. 4, 1970, was in Sundance. Those games are off the list now.

Byes Project and Missing Games updates: Lingle, Burns, Midwest, Moorcroft, Kemmerer, Big Horn, Cokeville, Lyman, Guernsey

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

I picked up seven more updates from my recent work on the Byes Project:

Lingle’s 51-14 win over the Gering, Neb., JV on Oct. 3, 1962

Burns’ 36-14 loss to Morrill, Neb., on Sept. 30, 1988

Kemmerer’s 19-6 loss to Montpelier, Idaho, on Sept. 8, 1961

Big Horn’s 21-0 loss to the Sheridan JV on Oct. 16, 1964

I also added three games from Moorcroft’s 1963 season: a 18-0 victory over the Gillette JV on Sept. 7, a 23-0 victory over Oelrichs, S.D., on Sept. 13, and a 13-6 loss to Midwest on Oct. 18.

I also found a game on Oct. 14, 1966, with Saratoga playing at Lingle, but I couldn’t find a final score (yet).

I also took care of three games on the missing games list:

Added Cokeville’s 47-12 victory over Lyman on Oct. 4, 1960….

Found the location of Guernsey’s 26-0 victory over the Natrona JV on Aug. 30, 1980 — it was in Casper….

Removed a game set for Sept. 6, 1968, between the Ogden School for the Deaf and Cokeville — the two teams played Sept. 20 in Cokeville.

I’m also digging into Cokeville’s 1969 and 1970 seasons. It looks like I might be missing a couple games in there. We’ll see what I can find.

Updates: Cheyenne Central

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

I’ve corrected a couple of errors I had listed for Cheyenne Central. For 1993, the Indians went 3-5; I had them listed at 2-6. Also, in 1968, the Indians went 8-1; I had them listed at 7-2. The two wins have been added, the two losses subtracted, and all the updates have been made on all the relevant pages.

Byes Project: Big Horn, Burns, Goshen Hole, Meeteetse, Wind River, Shoshoni, Buffalo, Dubois, Manderson, Byron

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

Eight additions and one correction to add to the site this week, thanks to the Byes Project:

Big Horn’s 34-0 victory over the Greybull JV on Sept. 18, 1975

Burns’ 12-0 victory over Goshen Hole on Sept. 2, 1976

Meeteetse’s 7-6 victory over Wind River on Sept. 17, 1976

Shoshoni’s 12-10 loss to the Riverton JV on Aug. 28, 1982

Buffalo’s 24-8 victory over the Billings Senior (Mont.) JV on Sept. 15, 1980

Wind River’s 28-6 victory over Dubois on Sept. 12, 1980

Manderson’s 20-7 victory over the Thermopolis JV on Oct. 25, 1963

Manderson’s 26-2 victory over the Greybull JV on Sept. 4, 1964

I also found the correct location for Byron’s 42-7 victory over Dubois on Sept. 5, 1980 — it was in Dubois.

The only other addition I made was Bow-Basin’s Oct. 19, 1980 game at the Laramie JVs. I found the game scheduled, but I have yet to find the final score. It’s been added to the missing games list.

I’ve got a 10- to 12-page paper in Communication Theory due this week, so it’ll probably be a couple weeks before I can hit the microfilm again….

Updates: 18 new games — and one correction — added to the database

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

With the Byes Project, I’ve added 18 more games and made one correction to a score I had wrong. Here’s what’s new:

Lovell’s 14-6 loss to the Billings West, Mont., JV on Oct. 13, 1971

Lusk’s 20-0 loss to Belle Fourche, S.D., on Sept. 3, 1971

Sheridan’s 23-0 loss to Billings West, Mont., on Sept. 11, 1976

Star Valley’s 25-6 win over Spanish Fork, Utah, on Aug. 28, 1976

Green River’s 30-13 loss to Boxelder, Utah, on Sept. 2, 1977

Greybull’s 40-20 win over the Sheridan JV on Sept. 2, 1977

Star Valley’s 29-24 win over Lovell on Sept. 16, 1977

Jackson’s 13-0 loss to Teton, Idaho, on Sept. 16, 1977

Evanston’s 7-0 win over Bear Lake, Idaho, on Sept. 8, 1978

Saratoga’s 44-0 win over the Natrona JV on Sept. 11, 1982

Basin’s 40-8 win over the Cody sophs on Sept. 2, 1982

Burlington’s 34-8 win over Ten Sleep on Oct. 14, 1987

Pavillion’s 19-6 win over Morton on Sept. 28, 1962

Morton’s 13-12 win over Manderson on Oct. 3, 1962

Basin’s 31-13 win over the Worland JV on Sept. 5, 1964

Lyman’s 41-0 win over Wyoming Indian on Oct. 3, 1986

Lyman’s 34-0 loss to Lehi, Utah, on Sept. 11, 1987

Greybull’s 24-6 win over the Billings Central, Mont., JV on Sept. 12, 1970

I also corrected Green River’s 26-8 loss to Bonneville, Utah, on Sept. 9, 1977. I had listed Green River winning 26-0.

All of these scores and updated records are reflected on all the relevant pages.

The Byes Project itself is going pretty well. Nearly every week for the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s has been accounted for, and every week in the 2000s is accounted for. I’m trying to wrap some of this stuff up before I continue to plow backward into the 1940s; I’m about halfway done researching 1945, while 1946-50 are done. Any additional years I get done before Thanksgiving will be uploaded at the end of the 2009 season.

As grad school takes up most of my time, site updates might be posted less frequently…. and writing about the 2009 season itself will probably cut into some research time, too. But that’s OK. I’m still having fun with this!

Updates: Lusk, Cody, Byron, Wyoming Indian, Ten Sleep, North Big Horn, Big Horn, Tongue River, Lyman, Greybull, Glenrock, Wheatland, Wind River

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

Nine games have been added and four more corrected in the database thanks to the Byes Project and some double-checking on my part.

These nine games were added:

Lusk’s 40-0 loss to Mitchell, Neb., on Sept. 16, 1977

Cody’s 7-2 loss to Laurel, Mont., on Sept. 9, 1978

Byron’s 32-0 win over Wyoming Indian on Aug. 25, 1978

Ten Sleep’s 12-6 win over North Big Horn on Sept. 8, 1978

Cody JV’s 36-22 win over North Big Horn on Oct. 1, 1982

Sheridan JV’s 32-14 win over Big Horn on Oct. 10, 1967

Big Horn’s 23-8 win over the Gillette JV on Sept. 20, 1980

Tongue River’s 12-9 win over the Billings West, Mont., JV on Sept. 12, 1987

Lyman’s 40-20 win over South Rich, Utah, on Sept. 21, 1962

In addition, the scores for the following games were corrected:

Byron beat Wind River 30-22 on Aug. 30, 1974. I had Wind River winning by the same score.

Glenrock beat Wheatland 14-0 on Oct. 25, 1975 in Glenrock. I had Wheatland winning 14-10 in Wheatland.

Tongue River beat Greybull 13-0 on Sept. 3, 1982. I had Greybull winning 13-0.

Lyman beat Hanna 26-6 on Sept. 14, 1962. I had listed Lyman, Neb., not Lyman, Wyo., as the winning team.

With the updates, a couple changes have been made on the streaks page, notably to a pair of losing streaks. With Greybull’s loss to Tongue River in 1982, the Buffs’ losing streak for 1978-82 grew to 35 games — a state record. Also, Wyoming Indian’s losing streak from 1975-79, third-longest in state history, grew to 32 games.

All of the other updates have been reflected on the relevant pages.

More updates — especially for Upton and Pine Bluffs

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

There are certain teams and certain eras that I know have not been fully researched. I tackled two of those today: Upton in the late ’50s and early ’60s, and Pine Bluffs in the mid-’60s.

Almost all of the games I was missing for Upton involved South Dakota opponents. Thanks to the research I did today, I’ve added or put a score into a blank space for the following games:

A 27-6 win over Edgemont, S.D., on Sept. 13, 1963

A 41-14 loss to the Rapid City, S.D., JV on Oct. 10, 1963

A 21-0 win over Rapid City Cathedral, S.D., on Oct. 18, 1963

A 31-0 loss to Edgemont, S.D., on Sept. 15, 1961

A 21-13 loss to the Rapid City, S.D., JV on Oct. 12, 1961

A 13-0 win over Rapid City Cathedral, S.D., on Oct. 20, 1961

A 33-26 loss to Edgemont, S.D., on Sept. 16, 1960

A 26-13 win over Rapid City Cathedral, S.D., on Oct. 21, 1960

A 42-6 win over Edgemont, S.D., on Sept. 18, 1959

A 27-12 win over the Rapid City, S.D., JV on Oct. 15, 1959

A 21-6 loss to Buffalo on Oct. 3, 1958

A 38-0 win over the Rapid City, S.D., JV on Oct. 17, 1958

I also found the correct location for the Nov. 1, 1957 game between Upton and Midwest; it was in Upton.

As for Pine Bluffs, it gets kind of tricky. The Hornets were a member of the “Minuteman Conference,” made up of teams from western Nebraska, for a couple years. That makes tracking down results a little bit tougher. Even so, three games were added today:

A 47-25 win over Lodgepole, Neb., on Oct. 27, 1965

A 26-0 win over Dalton, Neb., on Sept. 18, 1964

A 19-12 loss to Lodgepole, Neb., on Oct. 7, 1964

I also tried to do some research on Jackson in the mid-60s, but ran into more questions than answers. I added a 19-0 loss to Montpelier, Idaho, on Oct. 28, 1966, but also came up short on games in two weeks that were originally listed as byes: a game with the Rock Springs JV on Oct. 15, 1966, and a game with Montpelier on Oct. 27, 1967.

I also added Lingle’s 13-7 win over the Cheyenne Central sophomores on Oct. 17, 1964, noted the correct location for the Oct. 23, 1965 game between Glendo and the Natrona JV (it was in Casper) and noted the Sept. 25, 1964 game between Guernsey-Sunrise and Huntley was played in Torrington (it was Torrington’s off week and Huntley’s homecoming).

I also corrected two entries. The Oct. 22, 1994 game between Wind River and the Riverton sophs was corrected with the right score (20-0 Wind River); I had originally listed a 20-20 tie but I’ve known for quite a while that it was a typo. I finally corrected it today after tracking down the right score. I also removed a duplicate entry of a game from October 1981 between Lovell and Greybull. The correct entry, for Oct. 14, was retained, while an erroneous entry on Oct. 16 was removed.

The removal of that game caused Greybull’s losing streak from 1978-82 to change again, dropping back to 27 games. That, again, has been updated on the streaks page.

All other corrections and new entries are now reflected on the relevant pages.
