A Century of Fridays

By Patrick Schmiedt

It's out and available!



From 1894 to 2011, 102 Wyoming high schools have played more than 22,000 football games. The results of those games are all recorded here, together, for the first time. In addition to game results, this book includes coaches for every school and season, all-state teams dating back to 1920, postseason history and more. The book also tracks the evolution of high school football, decade by decade, as it evolved from a confusing novelty to a staple of autumn Fridays in communities statewide.
