Of these returning swim- mers, Cox qualified for the state meet in the 100 Backstroke and the 100 Butterfly, Orsborn qualified in the 200 Free and 100 Butterfly and Humes punched his ticket in the 50 Free.

Football and volleyball announced post-season honors in November, and several Dogies and Lady Dogies got the nod from coaches across the conference and state. There was one Dogie who was named to both the All-Conference and All-State teams, as senior Kale Corley let his actions do the talking on the gridiron this season. “‘Leave it all on the field’ was what Kale did in his four years of Dogie football,” Conzelman nodded. “His hard work and commitment off-season and during the season lead him to be a contender in defensive stats statewide.” Corley finished his career as a Dogie fourth overall for defensive points in All-Classes of Wyoming football, and third in defensive points in the 2A Conference. He had 107 tackles on the season with a total of 232 in his high school career. As primarily a defensive and offensive line player in his first three years, Corley got to dabble in car- rying the ball this season and put some impressive stats in that area as well. “Kale had the second most rushing yards on the team and scored his first career touchdown this season,” Conzelman beamed. “He will be greatly missed by the Dogie football team and staff, but as I always say, ‘Once a Dogie, always a Dogie.”’ Holden McConkey was named to the 2A East All-Conference team this season. The sophomore saw some time on the varsity field as a freshman, but (his role expanded greatly this year. “Speed, focus and drive was shown Fresh Hliday Seedless Grapes USDA Choice Angus Prid. 800‘ Loan Bonded, I Top Sirloin v-m Peak W W .

He also led the Dogies in all—purpose yardage with 804 yards. McConkey was also a force on the defensive side of the ball as he finished second on the team with 48 tackles. “Holden was also a great asset on special teams and had 346 yards in punting and kick returns,” Conzelman added. “It’s exciting to see what he will accomplish in the next couple of years.” The Dogies had three players who earned Honorable Mention to the All— Conference team as well.

As a defensive back, Chick finished the season with 28 tackles and six interceptions. v “Chick’s speed, quickness and defensive anticipation were a ‘package deal’ during the season,” Conzelman began. “It will be exciting to watch him on both sides of the ball next season!” Tystad finished the season with 41 tackles and two interceptions, was second in receptions with 172 yards, and punted for the Dogies averaging 31.7 yards per punt with his longest sailing 54 yards. “Hogan showed much growth during the season, and with his knowledge of the game, he transitioned easily to new See Honors, Page 1§ ,k We v; m
