The wrestling season comes to an end starting on January 22 and finishes for most on February 17. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the wrestling season had to be cut short. In that time, the Warriors wrestled 14 matches, and due to COVID-19 protocols, no tournaments were held. In those 14 matches, the West Branch Warrior wrestling team went 8-6 in the regular season and will have nine letter-winners returning for next year. These include Landon Bainey, Billy Bumbarger, Tyce Cantolina, Logan Folmar, Parker Johnson, Aaron Myers, John Myers, Landen Pase, and Kaleb Sallurday. Landon Bainey finished in sixth place at States as a freshman. He looks to improve on this and hopes to win States next year.
The West Branch Warriors would like to congratulate Hayes Jones, and Ethan Yingling on each achieving letters in wrestling in all four years in high school and wish them off as they are set to graduate. Hayes Jones went 38-58, and Ethan Yingling went 86-36 and went to districts three times: 2017-18, 2019-20, 2020-21. In 2019-20, he missed placing in regional, and in 2020-21 he placed sixth place.
