Girls Basketball Rankings, Conference-Week 4
We are officially into February, and only weeks away from the beginning of post-season play. With regional-seeding on the line, Wyoming hoops teams are hitting the road again this week for another round of conference games.
There weren’t any changes in the top spots this week, but we did see a few surprising scores, and a few new teams entering their respective top-five for the first time.
All the rankings for every classification can be found at https://wyomingfivestar.com/rankings/. Here are the official rankings, voted on by Coaches and Media Members of Wyoming:
1A Girls
#1 Burlington (15-3)
The 1A rankings haven’t changed for the third week in a row, with the Huskies atop the totem pole again this week. Burlington is a very solid program again in 2026 — now 4-0 in conference play. They played against Riverside and Greybull last week, continuing their winning streak up to five games. The last time they lost was to 3A Lovell on Jan. 17. This week, the Huskies play Meeteetse and St. Stephens, and finish with three more conference games before the regional tournament.
#2 Cokeville (15-2)
The Panthers are now up to 11 wins in a row — their last lost being to #1 Burlington on Dec. 19. They’ve played very well over the last month, dominating 1A-play ahead of the regional tournament. They will play against Saratoga and Encampment this weekend in two conference matchups.
#3 Southeast (13-4)
The Cyclones look very competitive this year, and have definitely done enough to consider them for another 1A title. They’ll try to defend their title in a month, but not before a gauntlet regional with a bunch of talented 1A East teams. If they can continue playing solid over the next few weeks, they should retain the #1 seed from the 1A Southeast quadrant.
#4 Little Snake River (12-1)
The Rattlers have still only lost one game this year, and continued their dominant campaign against Ft. Washakie and Encampment last week. They still play seven more games this year, which could give them just enough time to jump the rankings a few spots. They take on Rangley, and Ft. Washakie this week.
#5 Upton (10-5)
Upton leads the 1A Northeast quadrant, with a 5-0 conference record. They’re now at 10 wins, and could make a splash at the 1A tournament if they continue shooting well. They only play three more games this year — twice against Hulett, and once against Midwest. If the Bobcats can hold off Hulett, they’ll retain the #1 seed from the 1A Northeast Quadrant, which would avoid #3 Southeast and Lingle in the first round at regionals.
2A Girls
#1 Big Horn (15-2)
The Rams are atop the 2A rankings again this week, after dominating Rocky Mountain and Wright last week. The Rams are poised to win a 2A title this year, but will have to fend off at least three very good teams chasing them. This regional tournament at Pine Bluffs should be very exciting.
#2 Sundance (12-4)
The Bulldogs are playing very well again in 2026, with only one key loss to #1 Big Horn two weeks ago. They have lost three times in the last four games — 2 to out-of-state teams. They will have a chance to right the ship this weekend against Moorcroft on the road, and against Tongue River at home.
#3 Wyoming Indian (15-4)
The Lady Chiefs are always intriguing, and always have a chance at the title with Aleta Moss at the helm. However, #1 Big Horn and #2 Sundance are so good this year — it’s going to take a very solid performance to challenge them at state. The good thing is, Wyoming Indian is a frontrunner from the 2A West Regional, so they’ll likely avoid a matchup with Big Horn or Sundance in the first round at state. The Lady Chiefs play against Shoshoni and Rocky Mountain, and three more games against unranked teams to close the season.
#4 Tongue River (12-5)
The Eagles are playing a very competitive schedule this year, with #1 Big Horn and #2 Sundance being so tough. They’re battling, and will have a chance to elevate their conference seed with three of their last four games against the top-two teams. Tongue River would really like to avoid the #4 seed after regionals, which would likely match them up against the Lady Chiefs in the first round at state.
#5 Greybull (9-10)
Greybull is into the top-five rankings for the first time in 2026, after their first big win of the season last week — 46-38 over #4 Tongue River. The Buffalos are leading the 2A Northwest Quadrant with a 3-0 conference record, which could come into play prior to state. If Greybull wins their last two conference games against Rocky Mountain and Shoshoni next week, they’ll likely secure a state tournament spot by playing a weaker team in the first round at regionals. Next week, the Buffalos play Riverside and #1 Big Horn.
3A Girls
#1 Cody (13-0)
The Fillies continue to roll through 2026, topping the 3A Girls class again for the fourth consecutive week. The Fillies are arguably the best girls program in Wyoming, proving their juggernaut-status every single week, pummeling every single opponent. Last week they beat 3A West teams Worland and Powell badly. This week, they’ll take on 2A Meeteetse this week.
#2 Lander Valley (13-2)
Lander Valley remains the second best team in 3A this year, which is a very competitive class in 2026. We’ve seen the Tigers play so well this season, with a group of underclassmen who have finally risen in their junior and senior years. They are 3-0 in conference play, tied with #1 Cody with three weeks before regionals. Last week they beat #3 Pinedale on their home floor, defending the number-ranking in impressive fashion. This week the Tigers play on the road at Worland and Lovell.
#3 Pinedale (12-2)
The Wranglers just dropped a tough loss to #2 Lander Valley last weekend, but have played very well through 2026. This team can hang with nearly anyone in 3A, and with a good shooting performance, they could create waves at regionals. This week the Wranglers travel to Lovell and Worland for another round of conference games.
#4 Powell (11-4)
The Panthers have gained a lot of steam this year, especially with solid performances over Worland, Lovell, and Buffalo in their last three games. This year’s regional is hosted by Lovell, where the Panthers could surprise someone in the first round at state. If the season ended today, they’d play against Lyman for a state-tournament bid, before the regional semi-finals.
#5 Wheatland (13-4)
The Bulldogs have continued a very impressive conference season, now 4-0, and currently hold a nine-game winning streak. The 3A East regional is in Buffalo, and if they don’t collapse in the next three weeks, they’ll likely play Rawlins or Newcastle in the first round of regionals — both teams the Bulldogs just beat last weekend.
4A Girls
#1 Cheyenne East (14-2)
The Thunderbirds are the top-ranked team in 4A again this week, who are now 6-0 in conference play. Last week they dominated Laramie and Cheyenne South to extend their winning streak to 10 games. This week the Thunderbirds play on the road this week against Sheridan and Campbell County.
#2 Green River (13-2)
The Wolves look great over the last month, now winning five games in a row. They’re sitting atop the 4A West, which is traditionally very tough. Last weekend they beat their rivals, the Rock Springs Tigers at Rivalry Week. This week the Wolves have a couple home games against Jackson Hole and Star Valley.
#3 Laramie (10-6)
Laramie is up to #3 in the rankings this weekend, although they got beat by #5 Central last weekend. The Lady Plainsmen are 10-6, and tied for second in the 4A East. This week they play against #4 Thunder Basin on the road for a chance at a little revenge.
#4 Thunder Basin (9-6)
The Bolts are at #4 in the 4A Girls rankings this week, receiving a bunch of top-five votes after splitting with Sheridan and Campbell County last weekend. The Bolts will be playing across town at Campbell County High School for regionals this year, which could come into play this year. They could really use a couple more conference wins this weekend against Cheyenne South and #3 Laramie.
#5 Cheyenne Central (8-8)
The Indians are at #5 in this week’s coaches poll although they beat #3 Laramie last weekend. The Indians have played up and down this year, and have fought for an upper spot in the middle of the pack. They are tied for second in the 4A East, and could really use a couple wins this weekend over Sheridan and Campbell County.
