TORRINGTON – One could argue that any given Friday night is a tough test on the gridiron, but this Friday, all three Goshen County football teams have their work cut out for them.
Torrington, Southeast and Lingle-Fort Laramie combine for games against Star Valley, Big Horn and Guernsey-Sunrise. The Braves and Rams both won state titles last year, while the Vikings reached the semi-finals. The Braves went 11-1, while the Rams turned in a 10-1 record and the Vikings finished 7-3.
Collectively, the three Goshen County teams went 16-9 in 2016. Their three opponents this week combined for a 28-5 record last year, which is the toughest slate of competitors during any given week this fall. Star Valley is the toughest team, based on record, on Torrington’s schedule this fall, while Big Horn is tied for the best record on Southeast’s schedule.
On top of a tough night for Goshen County, two of the games are even tougher because they are on the road. L-FL heads to Guernsey-Sunrise and Torrington makes the haul to Afton. Big Horn, who won their championship in 2A last year, is the only team coming to Goshen County for a game Friday.
