The Tigers are coming off a challenging season last year, finishing 3-7 last year with wins over Kelly Walsh, Cheyenne South, and Laramie. Their efforts secured a playoff appearance, but they fell to Cheyenne East, the state runner-up, 42-14. Despite the tough season, there were highlights, such as their dominant 52-7 victory over Kelly Walsh in last year’s Week Zero.

Last season’s matchup against Cheyenne Central was a difficult one for Rock Springs, as they lost 35-10 at home. However, with a new coach and a refreshed outlook, the Tigers are looking to turn things around this time.

As the Tigers prepare for their first game under Coach Koepplin, the excitement and anticipation are palpable. Rock Springs fans will be eagerly watching to see how their team performs against Cheyenne Central, hoping for a strong start to the season and a sign of good things to come under their new coach.
