State 2026 was an emotional and challenging two days for our sweet girls. The short version: Junior Brylee Richardson went 0-2, Sophomore Katelynn Downs went 0-2, and Senior Gracelyn Hembree went 1-1 and made a very hard decision to medical forfeit on Saturday.
All 3 girls faced some difficult challenges this season, but sacrificed and did what they could to compete. It was a sad ending; however, the two days were spent having good conversations, great attitudes, and looking forward to their futures. Without a doubt, these young ladies will be continuing in their love for wrestling.
One thing that was so encouraging was that they acknowledged that each of them has been made for a specific path, and that these moments of disappointment will be used in their journey for good.
All in all, we actually had a good weekend together, cheering on fellow Greenback wrestler Alex Chavez to a 5th-place win! We watched a lot of great finals matches and still enjoyed some laughs together on the way home. As Coaches we feel honored and blessed to be a part of their journey and we look forward to watching them grow as wrestlers and young women of character.
