Photofest: Tongue River Starts 2A Play Shutting Out Thermopolis

It was week 1 for the 2A football season and Tongue River has high hopes for the 2023 season. The Eagles qualified for the playoffs for the first time in 6 years in 2022 and went 8-2 in the process. The program has a very good chance of making the next big step forward thanks to some solid returning talent.

Colter Hanft and Caleb Kirkbride are returning all-state players while Alex Barker and Conner Cummins were all-conference last season. All four of those players are totally functional on offense and defense. The Eagles are off to a good thanks to a 24-0 home win over Thermopolis last week. The Bobcats went 2-6 a year ago and they're looking for traction on offense heading into this week's game at home vs. Kemmerer. Tongue River hits the road for Glenrock on Friday.
