Buffalo Football Camp Featuring Chris Prosinski: Now that baseball season is over in Wyoming, it’s almost time to get the pigskin out and a Buffalo High School grad, former UW Cowboy and NFL player is going to teach some youngsters how to play the game.
Chris Prosinski will take part in a 1-day football camp on Tuesday, August 13th at Clear Creek Middle School football field in Buffalo.
The camp is free and will run from 9 until 11am for those in 1st through 5th grade, and noon until 2pm for those in grades 6-8.
Prosinski says now that he’s out of the game, it’s time he starts teaching the younger generation.
Prosinski is a 2006 graduate of Buffalo High School and helped the Bison win the football state championship as a junior and senior.
He played for the Wyoming Cowboys up until 2010.
In 2011 he was a 4th round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars and he played 3 seasons plus for the team.
After that he played for ½ of a season with the Philadelphia Eagles, and then the last 3 years of his pro career with the Chicago Bears.
High School Football Reclassification: This school year is the start of the new 2-year reclassification cycle, and football-wise there were a few changes as far as what teams play in what class.
In Class 4A nothing changed.
It’s still the same 10 teams, including Sheridan.
3A and 2A saw a little bit of movement.
Torrington moved up, while Worland moved down.

The first games in 4A are scheduled to be played on Friday, August 30th.
