The board of the Wyoming High School Activities Association voted unanimously on second and final reading Tuesday to introduce nine-man football in the 2020 season.
So who plays where?
4A and 3A would be unchanged from the current format.
2A (11-man) would have 17 teams divided into east and west (East = Buffalo, Burns, Upton-Sundance, Pine Bluffs, Glenrock, Newcastle, Big Horn, Thermopolis and Wheatland. West = Lyman, Big Piney, Mountain View, Pinedale, Greybull, Lovell, Kemmerer and Cokeville (opting up from 9-man)).
9-man would have 13 teams (East = Lusk, Southeast, Wright, Lingle-Ft. Laramie, Tongue River and Moorcroft (opting down from 2A...ineligible for playoffs). West = Riverside, Shoshoni, Wyoming Indian, Rocky Mountain, Wind River, Saratoga (questionable) and St. Stephens (opting up from 6-man).
6-Man would have 13 teams (East = Hulett, H.E.M., Kaycee, Normative Services, Midwest, Guernsey-Sunrise. West = Little Snake River, Burlington, Dubois, Farson-Eden, Ten Sleep, Meeteetse, Encampment).
School officials began talking about reducing the number of players on the field last year after some schools were unable to muster 11 players, leading to canceled games or entire seasons.
The board also decided the nine-player game will be played on standard-sized fields. High schools with six-player versions of the sport play on a smaller field.
Nine-man football was previously played in the state in the early 1990s. 042619

The Johnson County School District 1 board will look for state funding as they consider upgrades to Buffalo High School's outdoor athletic facilities.
The board will either repair or replace the 13-year old track surface, and would like to upgrade the natural grass football field to a high-tech artificial turf that would better handle drainage issues and stand up better to Wyoming's weather.
The two projects would cost about $2 million dollars each.
The district will pursue funding for the football field from the School Facilities Commission, and will send an application for state funding for the track through the state's Major Maintenance Fund for school facilities. 031519
