Written by Cole Havens on February 28, 2022

The Broncs would put together a spectacular weekend as they came away with a 4th place finish. Star Valley would win State. Worland was 6th and Powell finished in 10th.
The Broncs would have eight grapplers place 6th or better, with six of those eight coming in 3rd place or better. Trey Smith and Grayson Beaudrie are State Champions. Smith knocked off Star Valleys Bridger Smith to win state at 113 pounds! Beaudrie knocked off Star Valleys Zachery Patterson to win state at 182 pounds!
As for the rest of the Broncs:

113 – Taylor Baggs – two time state placer
Taylor turned it on the last month of the season and was looking dominant on the mat. He was scrapping very well with teammate Ty Peterson in the practice room.
113 – Trey Smith – state champ
Our most dominant wrestler on the roster, Trey works hard and puts a lot of time into the sport. He will be exciting to work with for three more years.
120 – Ty Peterson. – 2 time state placer
Ty is a scrappy young man who had a few of his best matches ever this year. We look forward to molding him into an excellent wrestler these next few years.
152 – Jackson Wood State runner up last year – 3rd this year
Jackson is one of our most consistent wrestlers on the team. He doesn’t have a great performance one week and then a poor performance the next. He is steady… which is fun to work with. Next year with Jackson will be exciting!
160 – Collin Lindemann. 6th place last year
Collin has improved immensely since his freshman year. Although he came up short this season, he was one reason a lot of his teammates (and coaches) enjoyed the season. He’s a joy to be around!
170 – Dylan Campbell two time state placer
Dylan is one tough cookie. He has a lot of weapons that his opponents don’t see coming. One more year with Dylan will be fun and successful.
170 – Will Thomasson 6th place at state last year
Will had a great senior season and finished top 6 in the state. After battling some injuries, he regrouped and made a good run at state.
- Grayson Beaudrie – 4th last year – State champ this year.
Grayson spent the first half of the season getting dialed in. Once he was – his opponents were in trouble! Winning a state title because of an injury default isn’t the way anyone wants to grab the gold, but it is what it is and he will be a force next year.
195 – Jace Grant – State Runner up
After missing the season last year because of injury, Jace spent the first part of this season playing catch up. However, once the Ron Thon came around, Jace was getting it figured out. State proved this because his performance in the finals was excellent. One more year will prove exciting!
