Mineral Wells made a breakthrough in 2024, going 7-4 in coach Cody Worrell’s second season to snap a two-year playoff drought and claim the program’s first winning season since 2018.
This year, despite graduating a talented group of 16 lettermen, including seven offensive and five defensive starters, the Rams are hoping to prove they have some staying power.
MWHS, which has never had more than three consecutive playoff seasons, has an opportunity to achieve just the fifth postseason streak in its history with another trip to the playoffs this fall. And Worrell likes the determination he’s seen from his team to build on the foundation that was laid the last two seasons.
