Star Valley's football team has always been stout on the line of scrimmage both offensively and defensively with one of their big guys, Cooper Lawson signing a letter of intent with the Wyoming Cowboys. Right now, he is listed at 6-4, 260 but those college weight room facilities will most likely change those numbers.

The Braves running game on offense has been very successful in recent years thanks to stellar play on the O-Line and Lawson is a big part of that group. The Braves en route to the 3A State Championship amassed 38 rushing touchdowns which was far and away the most in 3A. Star Valley was ranked 3rd in rushing in the classification at 186 yards on the ground per game.

Lawson made a name for himself on the Brave's defensive line and was named All-State in 2024. He had 52 tackles, 25 of them solo with a couple of sacks. Star Valley's run defense gave up just 97 yards per game which ranked 1st in 3A and also forced 9 fumbles.

In Lawson's junior year, Star Valley won the 3A State Championship and the Braves relied on their talented offensive line for a whopping 44 rushing touchdowns. Once again, SV had the #3 running attack in 3A. Lawson rang up 47 tackles and 4 sacks from his defensive end position in 2023 and once again earned All-State status.

He also appeared in 11 games with the Star Valley basketball team in the 2023-24 campaign.
