Worland-The Warriors had a home dual on February 5, 2026, against the Cody Broncs for Senior Night, followed by a dual on February 6, 2026, against Buffalo.
Senior Night for the Worland Wrestlers was a memorable one. On February 5, 2026, Worland got to recognize seniors Colby Wall, Lucas Ramirez, Brinley Roady, Ray Rice, and Makella Keith as they walked onto the mat during Senior Night. Worland had a good fight at the dual on senior night, but unfortunately, they lost.
Worland Wrestling Coach Josh Garcia said, "Senior Night was a bittersweet moment, it's always sad to see seniors wrestle their last dual in the Worland gym. Some of the biggest highs were Warrior Wrestlers Kade Garcia, Lucas Ramirez, and Luis Monrreal getting big pins."
Worland High School Senior Night Dual was against the Cody Broncs, with Cody for the win and Worland at a sad loss. The Worland Warriors showed a lot of grit and determination as they went against a 4A school, showing that in Buffalo, they were able to come back stronger. Worland Warrior wrestler Colby Wall stated about the Cody dual, "Overall, the dual went somewhat well, Cody is a good team, and we got good experience."
Brynlee Roady, a Worland Lady Warrior wrestler, expressed how she felt about senior night, saying that, "Wrestling could have been better, but it was my best match of the season."
As the Worland wrestlers traveled to Buffalo, they won 42 to 36, getting a great comeback and pushing their hardest. Worland Wrestling Coach Josh Garcia mentioned, "It went well, we wrestled hard and better than we have in the past, we will continue to get better."
The Worland Wrestlers go to Thermopolis on February 12, 2026, for a dual, starting at 5:00 p.m.

Worland Warrior Wrestlers Seek Victory

Worland- The Warriors wrestled at two competitions within the past week—a duel at home against Greybull on the eighth and a tournament in Douglas on the ninth and tenth.
At the Greybull duel, the Warriors were not able to pull out the win, which was partially due to illness and injury, according to Head Coach Josh Garcia. Many of the Warriors had not wrestled their opponents before, which created another hurdle. Many of the matchups gave Worland an advantage, such as WHS Junior Leona Vickers, who won her match 12-2.
The Douglas tournament, which was held on Friday and Saturday after the duel in Worland, raised the team's hopes with more succes especially from the Lady Warriors, who placed eighth out of the total 21 girls’ teams.
WHS Senior Ray Rice said, “I made it to the second day.” Rice was able to gain enough confidence to continue winning his matches, making him successful.
Garcia said, “Our focus this week is going to be getting better- staying mentally is physically tough. Last week we had a tough loss to Greybull; injury and illness was a factor.”
With the team feeling better this week, they are ready to take on Powell and Green River and bring home some wins. A few of the Warriors are feeling slightly nervous about the new matchups that they might face this week.
“We got to wrestle some great competition that's going to make us better,” Garcia noted.
The Warriors have been hard at practice, “working on not getting taken down,” according to WHS Freshman Kaden Matthesen.
WHS Freshmen Brekyn Crippen and Parker Whitehead say they are working this week on getting off the bottom.
WHS Junior Cerinity Quintana wants to “continue focusing on getting better at the little things” for her tournaments this week in Powell and Green River.
The team heads to Green River for the weekend competition.
