Title week: Cokeville plays Friday in Laramie, Rich on Saturday in Cedar City
It's championship week for two of our schools. Cokeville plays Big Horn for the Wyoming 2A title on Friday, Nov. 13, at noon at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie. WyoPreps posted the full title-game schedule Monday: unbeaten Big Horn (10–0) is No. 1 in its coaches and media poll and Cokeville is No. 2. It's Cokeville's first trip back to the 2A final since 2024, and Sheridan Media notes the two teams met in that 2024 title game and again in the first round of last year's playoffs. Big Horn is in Laramie for the fifth straight year. The game streams on the NFHS Network.
On Saturday, No. 1 Rich meets No. 2 Milford for the Utah 8-player title at 4 PM, Saturday, Nov. 14, at Eccles Coliseum, Southern Utah University, in Cedar City. The Rebels are chasing a fourth straight 8-player crown. They already beat Milford once this fall, 65–19 at Milford in August, and they beat the Tigers 21–12 in last year's final. Milford has won five straight against 8-player teams, led by quarterback Braxton Hansen, who has 35 total touchdowns, according to the Deseret News.
Fans heading south Saturday: the forecast for Cedar City calls for showers and thunderstorms likely, with a high near 51. In Laramie on Friday, it's mostly sunny, near 59. Also at War Memorial on Friday, Star Valley and Cody play for the 3A title at 3 PM.
