Green River Waves Goodbye to Coach Josh Webb After Remarkable Run
In a bittersweet turn of events, the city of Green River has just announced that Coach Josh Webb, head coach of the Green River High School Boys Soccer team, is stepping down from his position. This news, confirmed by the Sweetwater County School District No. 2 Athletics, marks the end of an ambitious and successful three-season journey for Webb and his dedicated team of players.
A Legacy of Success
During his time as head coach, the team flourished under Webb’s guidance, achieving empowering milestones in Wyoming’s soccer landscape. Most impressively, in 2024, the team celebrated a stunning second-place finish at the Wyoming 3A State Soccer Championships, which astonishingly took place right on their home field. But that wasn’t the only feather in their cap; just a year prior, in 2023, the Wolves claimed the Consolation Championship at the same state competition, demonstrating their resilience and talent.
Throughout his tenure, Webb not only focused on immediate goals but also laid down a strong foundation for future seasons. The Green River soccer program made significant strides during his time at the helm, culminating in a return to 4A classification for the 2025 season. Unfortunately, they narrowly missed out on a state berth during the regionals that year after a close-fought 1-0 match against Riverton.
Words of Gratitude
As coach, Webb has always expressed heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in the program, including athletes, parents, fellow coaches, and administrators. He mentioned that being part of the historic GRHS men’s soccer team is undoubtedly one of the best highlights of his coaching career.
His time as a Wolf has instilled a deep sense of school pride, which he plans to carry with him always. Webb stated that he feels lucky to have contributed in meaningful ways to the boys’ soccer program, and will always stand behind his players and the school.
Focus on the Future
With Webb’s departure, the Sweetwater County School District is moving quickly to find a new head coach, demonstrating a commitment to maintaining the program’s upward trajectory. While it might feel like a difficult transition for the team, Webb’s legacy will undeniably provide a sturdy platform for the next leader.
During his tenure, Webb emphasized the importance of development, showcasing the chemistry and growth of players both on and off the field. He recognized that while the Wolves had their strengths, there was always room to grow, particularly in terms of their attacking strategies and transitions into the 4A competition.
Now, as the coaching staff prepares for upcoming seasons, Webb has expressed his confidence in their capabilities to keep the team moving in the right direction. They will be focusing on adapting their playing style to meet the challenges of higher-level competition.
What Lies Ahead
While change can be hard, the Wolves are now poised for new beginnings, carrying forward a spirit of unity and growth cultivated by Webb. The next chapter of their journey awaits, and who knows what triumphs and memories it will bring!
