Moorcroft’s boys’ basketball team, the smallest 3A school in the state, fought in the Regionals last week with determination and grit. Coach Nick Redden had two goals for this year’s Regionals: “To have people gain respect for Moorcroft Basketball and to leave a mark; everything past that was going to be above and beyond”. The Wolves took on Torrington on Thursday and while they lost this first game, Redden spoke of the team’s fortitude, saying, “Going up against a difficult team like that we definitely held our own.” The coach speaks to the r...

On Friday night, the Lady Wolves welcomed the Lady Bulldogs from Wheatland for the last game of the regular season. We knew going in that it was going to be a competitive game. The game got off to a good start with neither team able to pull away and both teams were tied going into the half. I was pleased with where we were going into the half. It was really a defensive battle in the first half and that continued into the second half. Moorcroft found themselves down six points with 3:00 minutes...

As of the time of this report, these two remaining teams had not played due to inclement weather and neither had forfeited. According to Coach Nick Redden, this third position is good. "We would have to play some of our best basketball against [number one teams] Douglas or Buffalo; we've held very well with Buffalo before, but it's a mind-set...
On Friday, the Lady Wolves traveled to Buffalo to take on the Lady Bison. Buffalo came out quickly and jumped out to a 22-5 first quarter lead.

The second half was all Newcastle as they won the game, 57-30. I thought our defense was good in the first half and we just missed some opportunities in...

The Wolves Boys basketball had two great contests this past weekend with Newcastle on Friday and Glenrock on Saturday. The boys JV came out a little slow against Newcastle, but made some gains in the second half, though not enough to pull out the victory.

The varsity boys played four good quarters of basketball and pulled away in the end with a ten point victory. Everyone who got into the game dug deep and contributed to the victory,...
