The Pronghorns’ Season

The Pronghorns went undefeated up until their final regular season game against Little Snake River. However, due to a coin toss, Farson-Eden went into the playoffs as the number one seed, giving them home field. They went on to win against Guernsey-Sunrise in the first round of the playoffs.

The Pronghorns also learned from mistakes made in their first game with Little Snake River and pulled off the win in the semi-final round of the playoffs. They secured their spot in the championships.

Though they played tough football in the championship game, they could not get the win over Kaycee. Kaycee finished their undefeated season with a championship win for the third year in a row.
