Clearly this is a biased vote on my part. But having a school that had NEVER had a State Championship winner in football, to finally climb that mountain is THE story of the year.
Riverside's history goes back a long ways, extending much deeper than the name Riverside itself is one part. Another part is having this team come back from an undefeated regular season, a season that ended in 2006 in a loss to Southeast in the title game; then follow that season by WINNING the whole thing by beating a team it had lost to during the regular season in 2007.
Basin/Riverside has had many GREAT teams in the past that didn't get it done. (One in 1983-84 that didn't even get a chance because of a coin-flip)
To see my alma-mater win the school's first ever State Championship in person, in the fashion that they did it with that late drive.....priceless..and a memory to last a lifetime!!
No Disrespect to the other Schools that had great stories this year...Tongue River, Buffalo, Star Valley, Hulett...etc, etc. Like I stated at the beginning...this was clearly a biased vote!!
