WyoPreps First All-Championship Game Football Team 2023

The five football state championship games were last weekend in Laramie, and there were some great all-around performances.

With this in mind, I’ve decided to take a totally subjective look at an “all-tournament team” for the football title games.

Here are my picks for an all-championship game team based on offense and defense, with one addition of an ‘athlete’ spot on the offensive side of the ball.

These players are in no particular order and based solely on their play during a championship game.

Offense:

OL = Ty Bennick, Torrington

OL = Jesse Gibson, Star Valley

OL = Kolin Custis, Sheridan

OL = Zack Murphy, Big Piney

OL = Hunter Aagard, Burlington

TE/H-BACK = Joe Bassett, Burlington

WR = Dane Steel, Sheridan

WR = Karsyn Gurr, Big Piney

RB = Rueben Stoutenberg, Big Piney

RB = Kaiden Riggs, Torrington

ATH = Jordan Michaels, Burlington

QB = Smith McClure, Star Valley

Defense:

DL = Roger Young, Big Piney

DL = Kyzaia Jones, Wind River

DL = Joe Bassett, Burlington

DL/LB = Nathan Mirich, Cheyenne East

LB = Kiefer Dunham, Big Horn

LB = Caden Clifford, Big Piney

LB = Grant Thomson, Star Valley

DB = Jayden Crook, Star Valley

DB = Chase Hatch, Cody

DB = Dane Steel, Sheridan

DB = Landre Greiman, Torrington

Obviously, this will start some debate, which is just fine. These selections are 100% subjective and based on how I saw certain players impacting the game while observing all five games last weekend at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie.

Kudos to all the players who made the list and caught my eye. I thought about squeezing a few more onto the list but decided to keep it as close to the 22 on the field, as possible.
