Two tilts with title implications saw No. 1 Star Valley hold off Cody in a game that likely decides homefield advantage in Class 3A, while No. 7 Riverton staved off Lander Valley to take a huge stop toward winning the 3A East Conference.

However, neither Cody nor Lander Valley dropped far in this week’s High School on SI Wyoming Top 10 high school football rankings despite the defeats.
