Former NFL Quarterback Kyle Orton speaks with Riverton High School football team
(Riverton, WY) – Own your mistakes. Take accountability for yourself. When you have success, share it with others. And fly fish as much as you can. Those were the common themes delivered by former National Football League quarterback Kyle Orton Monday night as he spoke with the Riverton High School football team at the RHS Auditorium. Orton is no stranger to Fremont County. The Iowa-native told County 10 if he could fly fish anywhere in the world, he’d be right here. Kyle has been hitting the water here for the last few days. The exact location he chose not to disclose… we mentioned he’s a true fisherman after all. He accepted an invitation to meet and speak with the RHS student-athletes after a day tracking trout. During a 30 minute pre-practice session he took time to answer questions and sign several autographs. His football journey began in Iowa, which led to Indiana for college, becoming a Purdue Boilermaker. Purdue’s Head Coach at the time was a legend in the Cowboy State, Joe Tiller. After four years under Tiller, Kyle was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 2005. Eventually, he’d play three seasons with the Denver Broncos, a year with the Kansas City Chiefs, two with the Dallas Cowboys and finished his career in 2014 a Buffalo Bill. Since retiring, he’s remained active in football as a high school coach for his Iowa alma mater. Kyle Orton with Riverton High School football coaches Photo: Jerrad Anderson During the Q&A Monday night, we learned Orton’s favorite wide receiver was late Broncos legend Brandon Marshall. His favorite leader to play with was Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher. His favorite piece of advice is to find other people that work hard at the same things you do and push each other. Perhaps most interestingly though, he was presented with the question, “if you could go back in time and play one more game at any level, where would you go?” Orton thought for a second, skipped being an NFL celebrity or a college football success and said, “honestly I’d go back to high school and play with my friends.” Doubling down with, “there’s just something special about playing with your buddies.” Kyle summed up the session by telling the Wolverines to take practice one day at a time, “try to win each day. Practice hard. Like really fricking hard.” County 10 caught up with Orton for a quick chat after his time with the students, you can hear that interview in the player below or by searching for the County 10 Sports Podcast on all major podcast platforms. Riverton football begins their season August 28th at Powell. Every Wolverine game all season can be seen on the County 10 YouTube channel or find our radio broadcasts on 105.1 JACK-FM!

Lander football season preview with Head Coach John Rounds [LISTEN]
(Lander, WY) – Lander Valley High School announced this summer that John Rounds would once again take the reins of the Tigers’ varsity football program. The longtime Lander educator previously served as head coach from 2014-2017. John Scott took over from 2018-2022, followed by Jim Burton for the past three seasons. Throughout that time, Rounds remained involved with the program as an assistant coach, continuing to help develop Lander’s student-athletes. When Burton announced this summer that he was leaving for a teaching position in Pinedale, promoting Rounds from within was an easy decision—especially following the Tigers’ success in 2025, when they reached the 3A semifinals. We recently chatted with Rounds about returning to the head coaching position, how summer workouts have gone and his expectations for the 2026 season.

Podcast: WRTA’s ‘Fare Free Summer’ and what’s next for local transportation with Tim Nichols
(Fremont County, WY)- In this County 10 Podcast episode you hear from with Tim Nichols of WRTA about the agency’s Fare Free Summer and what it means for riders across Fremont County. The program began June 1 and, thanks to corporate sponsorships and private donations, will continue through the end of August.

Riders can access WRTA by calling 856-WRTA or finding more information at gowrta.com. The conversation also covers rising transportation costs, increased ridership during the fare-free period, and how even a small fare can be a barrier for people on fixed incomes. Nichols also addresses recent state and federal funding reductions connected to expired post-pandemic relief funds, as well as an upcoming three-quarter percent sales tax ballot measure that would support local ground transportation, air services, and ambulance services. Nichols shares that WRTA is a government-operated public transit authority under the Fremont County Association of Government and encourages the public to ask questions, request transparency, and learn more about how the system serves Fremont County.

Coffe Time: Hudson Mayor Sherry Oler discusses recent water, sewer rate increases
(Lander, WY) – The KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM Today in the 10 interview series Coffee Time continued today with host Vince Tropea, who recently spoke with Hudson Mayor Sherry Oler, who stopped by to chat about the water and sewer utility rate increases that go into effect for the town starting today, July 1. The water and sewer rates will go up $5 each a month, $10 total, for Hudson residents. Mayor Oler said the town has struggled for years with complaints about the taste and quality of its drinking water, despite the water meeting safety standards. After taking office, Mayor Oler requested a Level 1 water study through the Wyoming Water Development Commission, which was completed in 2025. The study identified why Hudson’s water treatment system is expensive to operate and recommended several potential long-term solutions, including exploring a new water source and the possibility of regionalizing water service. A Level 2 study is now underway to look at those options and provide residents with information before any long-term decisions are made. At the same time, the town has faced serious wastewater infrastructure concerns, Mayor Oler explained, adding that Hudson narrowly avoided major failures at its sewer lift station in both 2023 and 2024, including one incident in which a pump nearly failed completely and forced the town to notify the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality. The town has since secured a free pre-engineering report, presented during a public meeting in April, which estimates that approximately $5.8 million in wastewater system improvements are needed. With only about 277 utility customers, the cost of those projects presents a significant financial challenge, Mayor Oler said, adding that under Wyoming statute, municipal water and wastewater utilities must be self-supporting, meaning user rates must cover operating costs, maintenance, employee salaries, and future repairs in a reserve fund. Mayor Oler said demonstrating that Hudson is making progress toward financial sustainability is also critical to receiving state loans and grants, some of which are scored partly on a community’s willingness to invest in its own infrastructure. To help meet those requirements, the Hudson Town Council approved the rate increase, and the council also approved annual increases at the same level over the next four years, a strategy Mayor Oler said is intended to gradually build the utility funds rather than implementing the much steeper increases recommended by two independent rate studies. You can hear more about the next steps the town plans to take in the full Coffee Time interview with Mayor Oler below.

This year, Fremont County aspiring athletes had the chance to learn from Coaches Tom Monks of Wales and Steven Gray of Scotland. The duo taught ball handling, shooting and passing technique. A “World Cup-style” tournament was held (Congratulations Team Portugal!,) athletes competed individually each day to be camp MVP.
