Updates: All-state

I was able to add a couple more first names to the all-state listings thanks to some help — Cindy Asay in Lovell hooked me up with some first names of Lovell players, and Andrew Towne at the Torrington Telegram chipped in some Torrington first names.

Update: Thanks to those of you who left comments below to help — they were valuable! And another big thanks to the Stat Rat, Jim Craig, for helping me find the others so far.

Update 2, Sept. 4, 2022: With some more help from the Stat Rat, we are down to only six first names that are still missing. I’ve cleaned up the list below to remove names that have been found.

Thanks for the help!

And here’s a list of the first names I’m still missing for all-state selections, by school:

Buffalo
1929: Metcalf

Douglas
1922: F. Rice

Lovell
1925: Brosheaus (maybe Brosious)

Midwest
1935: Barsh

Thermopolis
1925: Guffey

University Prep
1920: Sonners

This is Kay Catlin Fleek from Greybull. By my all school reunion records, there was an Everett L. Bird in the class of 1935 but not 1934. I could find no other person with the last name Bird in any classes close. Hope this helps!

Thank you, Kay! I appreciate the help. Everett’s name is now up!

Morning,

The All-State player for Worland in 1935 was John Merz. John played on the line for the Warriors & had a chance to go to Nebraska and play but elected to stay in Worland. His family owned Merz Bakery in Worland.

Mark, thank you! This is a big help. First name, and the corrected last name, now posted. 🙂

I believe Thermopolis is Llyod “Red” Guffey as far as we can figure out

Patrick,
I have looked through yearbooks here at Buffalo HS and cannot find a trace of a Metcalf from 1929, or years before/after.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for checking, regardless. We were afraid that might happen. We have had little success with Mr. Metcalf, unfortunately. He has remained quite elusive. I appreciate your help a ton, though — it does answer some questions I had!
