Farson-Eden Claims 1-A 6 Man State Title: [VIDEO]

On Saturday the Farson-Eden Pronghorns matched up against the Meeteetse Longhorns in the class 1-A 6 man state championship game.

The Pronghorns were not shy about scoring points in the first half. The Pronghorns scored two more times in the 2nd quarter bring the halftime score to 26-8 heavily favoring Farson-Eden.

Right after halftime was concluded it was all Farson-Eden in the 3rd quarter. The Pronghorn were able to capitalize on early turnovers and quick offense bringing the score to 42-8 after three.

This is Farson-Eden's 2nd state championship ever. This is the team's 2nd in three years. Their first coming in 2018.
