Under the bright lights of the Kibbie Dome, the Trojans faced their toughest challenge yet in a thrilling back-and-forth battle with the state’s top northern football program. Rigby and Coeur d’Alene proved so evenly matched, the pair needed not one, but two overtimes to decide the title. And in a gutsy 2-point conversion attempt, Gonzalez called running back Brigham Youngstrom’s number.

The now-graduated Trojan fought tooth and nail through the scrum, crossing the goal line and handing Rigby its first state title in school history.

Fast forward nine months and Rigby is left without many of the talented seniors who helped the team reach postseason glory a season ago, specifically quarterback Keegan Thompson.
