Some small updates

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

I’ve made some small updates/corrections that I’ve been sitting on for a while but haven’t done.

First was correcting a game played between Pine Bluffs and Galeton, Colo., on Sept. 2, 1960. I had Galeston… but that’s since been corrected.

I also updated the Cheyenne Central game in 1958 against Colorado Springs. I wasn’t sure if there was a “Colorado Springs High School,” but there was in 1958. It was in 1959 that Wasson High School was built in Colorado Springs, and CSHS became Palmer High School.

Thanks to Raymond Morris for helping me on those two corrections!

Also, I’ve added the fact that the Burlington-Normative Services 2007 playoff game was an overtime game.

Stadiums page madness!

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

If you know me at all, you know I’m a bit of a geography nerd. It shouldn’t be too surprising, then, that I’ve fused geography and high school football into one awesome creation… the updated stadiums page.

Thanks to the help of Google Earth, all of the stadims now have their elevation, latitude and longitude listed beside the stadium’s name. Fields are also ranked by those attributes — from highest to lowest, from north to south and from west to east. Check it out.

Minor corrections

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

I’ve updated two games with corrections. The first was a 1997 game between Lyman and the Evanston JV. I had the game listed as against the Evanston varsity, so the game has been fixed for Lyman and removed for Evanston.

Also, I’ve deleted an extra listing for a 2000 game between Moorcroft and Wright. The game was listed twice on separate dates, but the right listing has been kept and the wrong one deleted.

All-time standings have also been updated with the corrections.

1971 Class AA state championship game

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

For some reason, I haven’t been giving Laramie its due for its 1971 Class AA championship. The Plainsmen did indeed win the AA championship game, beating Rock Springs 20-2 in the last game of the season.

But the first time I went through the 1971 season, I failed to mark that game as the championship. I had the game logged, the score, the date, the location — just not the significance.

Since then, I’ve been sitting on 1971, not sure what happened in that last game. So yesterday, I finally got around to double-checking what happened. Just like my gut had told me, the Rock Springs-Laramie game was indeed for the state championship.

The changes have been updated on all the needed pages, including listing the championship on the top of the Laramie team page.

(I’m still working on double-checking everything after my hack earlier this week. It was incredibly frustrating, as I lost my main index page and a few other small items, stuff only I will notice. I don’t think it affected anything other than the main index page, but if you see anything weird, let me know.)

The byes project

by ⋅ 1 Comment

I’ve spent the last week or so jotting down all the apparent bye weeks for each team listed in the database since 1960. One of my new projects will be to verify the fact that these were actually bye weeks and that I’m not just missing a game. There are 776 dates that I’ll be going back to double-check… eventually.

In doing this little side project, I found a few errors that I had made along the way. I’ve added four new streaks to the winning and losing streaks list. Three involve Glenrock. Glenrock made the winning streak list twice, once with a 24-0 streak from 1970-72 and again with a 22-0 streak from 1966-68. Glenrock also made the unbeaten streak with a 25-0-1 run from 1966-69 (the 22-0 streak was part of this one).

Also, I added a losing streak by Kemmerer, an 0-20 stretch from 1987-89.

I also corrected two incorrect win-loss records. I corrected Cokeville’s record in 1994 to 9-1 and corrected Dubois’ record in 1993 to 4-3. Those two corrections have been reflected on the standings pages — winning percentage and number of victories.

That’s about it for now.

More all-state updates

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

Found some more all-state teams. I’ve added the Class 1A-Division I and filled in the rest of the Class 4A team for 1997 and also added the Class 1A-Division I and Class 1A-Division II all-state teams and filled in the rest of the Class 3A team for 1998.

Now, I’m only missing the following teams for all-state from 1991 to the present:

1997: Class 2A
1995: Class 1A-Division II
1994: Class 1A-9 man

Once again, if you have those, let me know.

Two quick updates

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

I updated two missing games last night. One was adding a game to Southeast’s 1983 season, a 36-8 road victory over Crawford, Neb., on Oct. 7. The other was filling in a missing score from the 1967 season, Goshen Hole’s 21-6 road victory over Huntley on Oct. 13.

Team and year pages, as well as the standings pages, have been updated to reflect the changes. Thanks to Todd Miller for helping me fill in these gaps!

I also received a scan of the 1967-68 Goshen Hole High School yearbook from Mr. Miller that had some cool info on the origin of the field at the high school. Check out the pdf by clicking here if you’re interested.

All-state updates

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

I added all-state teams for 1995 and 1996 to the all-state page. I’ve also added all-state teams for 1946, 1947 and 1948.

The all-state team compilation is a little side project to the compilation of scores and overall school records. Just like the rest of the site, I hope to complete this research, too, although my main focus for now is going to remain on scores and records, with all-state teams staying as a nice side project in the interim.

I now have darn near every all-state team since 1991. I’m still missing these:

1998: Class 1A-Division I AND Class 1A-Division II. Also, the Class 3A list I have is incomplete.
1997: Class 2A AND Class 1A-Division I . Also, the Class 4A list I have is incomplete.
1995: Class 1A-Division II
1994: Class 1A-9 man

If you have complete lists of these all-state teams, or complete lists of any all-state teams from 1990 or before, please e-mail them to me at pschmiedt@yahoo.com. I’ll post them as quickly as I can and we’ll go from there.

Cool.
