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 Moorcroft Wolves boys’ team took on both the number one and the number two teams in the Northeast Conference last weekend. On Friday, the Wolves matched up against the number one team in the conference, the Big Horn Rams. As expected when playing a team that is as good as the Rams, it was a very tough battle. The play in the first half was slow and the rhythm was off. Going into halftime, the score was 40-6 Big Horn. After getting some motivation and time to rethink the game plan, the fired-up Wolves came into the second half of play r...

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...
