Alum writes book on Wyoming high school football

Patrick Schmiedt, B.S. 2004 and M.A. 2011, has published his first book. "A Century of Fridays: Wyoming High School Football, 1894-2011," is now available for purchase through the book's publisher at lulu.com. He describes it: "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 results of more than 22,000 games, 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."
