This is Green River’s second year under head coach Blaine Christensen. The 3A West team went 1-8 last year but won their first game in a gritty week one win against Lander, marking their first week one win since the 2017 season. As a team they look to improve on their scoring after last year when they managed 83 points on the year, marking the third lowest total since 2000.
Rock Springs is heading into its first year under newly acquired head coach Kasey Koepplin. Last year, the Tigers finished 3-7 for the second straight year after going 10-2 in 2021 and making the 4A state title game. They look to turn things around with their fourth head coach in the last three years.
