The Lady Wolves Girl’s Basketball Team began practice prior to the Thanksgiving break and has been working hard. We have a good group of girls who are focused, want to be here and put the team before themselves. We have an experienced group of returning upperclassmen and a good number of new girls into the program. Practices have been going very well and defense will continue to be our focus. Because the team is experienced, we have been able to grasp concepts and progress quicker through different offenses and defenses that we want to run. T...

The Moorcroft Boys Golf Team traveled to Douglas, WY for a tournament on Friday. Moorcroft was one of two 2A teams that competed in this tournament; the remainder of the field was made up of 3A and 4A schools. Lane Wood led us in scoring with a 92, Caden Connally shot a 98 and Payton Timberman a 102. Overall, I was happy with how the boys competed. Because of weather, we haven’t had a lot of opportunities to get on an actual course. This was the first time of the spring season where they have been able to play more than two holes. They did v...
On Friday, the Lady Wolves traveled to Sundance to take on the Bulldogs. The Wolves jumped out to an early lead, but gave some of it up and went into the half up, 21-18. We definitely had our opportunities in the first half; we didn’t convert like we needed to and that allowed them to stay in the game. The Wolves played well in the third quarter, but found themselves in foul trouble in the fourth quarter. Sundance came back and tied the game late into the quarter, but the Wolves were able to get a couple of key rebounds and convert free t...

The Wolves trailed, 49-45, going into the fourth quarter. Neither team could get much going in the last quarter and the Wolves ended up losing, 56-49. We started the game slow, gave up too many points in t...
On Friday night, the Lady Wolves hosted the Southeast Cyclones. Southeast started fast, ending with a 12-5 first quarter lead. The Wolves fought back and went into the half down 30-23. The contest continued the same in the second half. The Wolves weren’t able to overcome the Cyclones and dropped the game, 53-41. I didn’t think that we came out ready to play in the first quarter. We had a good scouting report on what we wanted to do and just weren’t able to execute some of those things. We got into early foul trouble and that had an effec...
