CENTERVILLE, ohio – For the first time since 2009, Wyoming coms up victorious in a regional championship game. The Cowboys had come up short the previous two years falling to Alter (in ‘16) then Clinton-Massie (in ’17) but Saturday night they blanked London 28-0 to advance to the Division IV state semi-finals. It was the fourth shutout of the season for Wyoming who has held every opponent to 17 points or less. Only four teams have scored double digits on the Cowboys.

Junior quarterback Evan Prater led the way with a pair of touchdown runs and two scoring strikes to senior Joey Edmonds.

He has accounted for 50 touchdowns (23 pass, 27 rush) with 1,844 yards passing and 1,392 yards rushing this season.

Edmonds only had the two reception for 49 yards but also came up with a huge interception for the Cowboys defense.
