Brown kicks Braves to fifth straight title in 16-13 win over Cody
The Star Valley Braves outlasted the Cody Broncs in a tight 16-13 final score to claim their fifth straight Wyoming 3A state football championship on Friday night at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie. It is the 13th straight season that either the Braves or the Broncs have won the championship and the fifth straight where Star Valley prevailed over Cody. It’s also the ninth straight win in the series for the Braves but it’s been far from easy with the last three contests overall decided by a combined nine points.

Wyoming QB Landon Sims 'ready for the opportunity' to start against UTEP
LARAMIE — Landon Sims was primed to take over under center for the University of Wyoming last fall. The junior quarterback replaced starter Kaden Anderson during a road game against San Diego State last November. Sims had 52 rushing yards and a touchdown pass before exiting the game with a season-ending knee injury. The Evergreen, Alabama, native tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee for the third time in his career. Sims returned during spring practice is now in position to lead the Cowboys’ offense again following an injury to starting quarterback Tyler Hughes. UW (6-3 overall, 5-1 Mountain West) puts its four-game winning streak on the line at Texas-El Paso (1-8, 0-5) at 8 p.m. Saturday. The Cowboys haven’t won five consecutive games since 2016, which is the only season they’ve played in the MW championship game. Hughes was officially ruled out for this weekend on UW’s initial availability report Thursday. Third-year head coach Jay Sawvel said Monday the quarterback fractured a bone in his right forearm, which is his throwing arm. Sims was 2-of-6 for 25 yards and a touchdown with an interception after taking over for Hughes last weekend against UNLV. “I’m definitely ready for

RAMS ROLL: Big Horn routs Cokeville in Wyoming 2A final
LARAMIE — Kirk McLaughlin knew it was coming. He ducked, dodged, tip-toed across the sideline and tried to evade the inevitable — a splash of ice-cold water straight to the back. Then, the Big Horn football coach displayed a permanent smile. He doesn’t mind the celebratory water cooler shower. It never gets old, he said. Twenty-four unanswered points powered the unbeaten Rams to a 31-7 win over Cokeville in the Wyoming Class 2A state football final Friday afternoon at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie. “They hit me in the head, and I am soaked on the backside, but the emotions and the hugs and stuff keep me pretty warm,” McLaughlin said. McLaughlin snagged his third state title in the past five years. He stood on the same field 366 days ago and consoled his heartbroken crew after a three-point state final loss against Mountain View. Big Horn (11-0) senior quarterback Tucker Wulff steered the comeback with two touchdowns while going 16-of-26 for 190 yards. He sealed the scoring on a 32-yard strike to Caden Alexander with 7 minutes, 47 seconds left in the game. “It is sweet to go out like this,” Wulff said. “I have been with these seniors
