The world of high school sports has seen many cancellations since March, but the 9th Annual Six-Man All-Star football game between Wyoming and Nebraska that features only seniors is still on schedule to be played this year.
The game was originally scheduled for Saturday, June 6 but, in late May it was announced that the game was pushed back to July 24 due to COVID-19 concerns.
Wyoming holds a 5-3 lead in the all-time series. They won the eighth edition, 52-50, with a "Hail Mary" on the game's final play making for a spectacular win.
The game is still scheduled to be played in Chadron, Nebraska.
Players are nominated by their coaches.
The 2020 Wyoming roster includes the following players from Carbon County: twins Conor and Shane McGraw, Brendon Reeves from Hanna, Elk Mountain, Medicine Bow (HEM); Wyatt Duncan, Tony Enriquez, Karter Evans, Oscar Herrera, Riggen Myers, and Taylor Otte from Little Snake River; and Menphis Smith of Saratoga.
The coaching staff includes head coach Jack Cobb from Little Snake River. He will be assisted by Little Snake River assistant coach Sam Weeldreyer, HEM head coach Zack Scott, St. Stephens head coach Billy Brost, and HEM assistant coach Clif Jones.
