WORLAND - During the 2017 season the Worland High School girls soccer team had a two-part goal, first, return to the 3A state championship match, and second, finish off the job. The Lady Warriors checked off the first part of their goal returning to the state championship but unfortunately, came up short again in the title match, this time to the Cody Fillies 2-1.

"Alright, listen up," said Rakness, as t...
