Cheyenne, WY — The stakes couldn’t be higher as the regular season for Wyoming 4A high school football comes to a dramatic close tonight at 6:00 p.m. The Cheyenne East Thunderbirds (7-1) and the Campbell County Camels (7-1) are set for a pivotal head-to-head matchup, with the winner securing the coveted No. 2 seed for the upcoming playoffs and guaranteeing a home game in the first round.
Both teams enter the contest with identical 7-1 records, trailing only the undefeated Sheridan Broncs in the state standings. East, ranked No. 6 in the state, and Campbell County, ranked No. 8, have proven themselves to be top contenders throughout the season, making this final regular season tilt a de facto playoff preview.
The T-Birds’ high-powered offense, spearheaded by senior running back Keyshawn Brown, will face a stiff test from the Camels, who are looking to rebound from a recent loss to No. 2 Sheridan. For East, a win would cement their status as a major threat in the state and give them critical momentum—and crucial home-field advantage—heading into the state championship tournament.
The winner of tonight’s game will finish the season as the No. 2 seed, likely setting them up to host the No. 7 seed in the quarterfinal round. The loser will settle for the No. 3 seed and still earn a home playoff game, but the second seed offers a potentially more favorable path in the bracket. With so much on the line, fans can expect a hard-fought battle where every down and every yard will matter. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. at Okie Blanchard Stadium.
