The Wolves took the opening kickoff back for a touchdown for some early excitement, but the Bulldogs proved to be able to get up and down the field on the Wolves. The game would prove to have some key players from the Wolves go down, putting the team into a next man up mentally. They never gave up and kept working hard for the entire game, but the Bulldogs of Wheatland came out victorious, 74-22 over the Wolves. The Wolves take on the Glenrock Herders this Friday at 7 p.m. for the final home game this year. It will be Senior Night and Pink...

The assembly traveled on their moderated route through the high school and the MK8 before breaking for a bit of dinner and dodge ball....

In the second round, Caden Connally stayed consistent and ended up splitting seventh and eighth, to receive all-state honors. The kids did a great job, they hung in there and stayed competitive. The athletes had a great time this fall and we’re looking forward to spring g...

This weekend, the Wolves Cross Country Team made a long trek to Star Valley to run in the State Preview invite. This was a high school meet only and we carried three to Afton. The trip itself became a bonding experience that I, as their coach, enjoyed tremendously. The kids have become more than students and runners, they are a group of people whom I enjoy being with. The course was filled with rolling hills and thick grass and is a tougher, slower race. The weather was beautiful for a race through the course. In the Junior Varsity races, Katel...
