On Friday night, the Moorcroft Lady Wolves took on the Moguls from Edgemont, SD. The Junior Varsity started the night.
The Wolves were able to take an early lead into the half with their defensive pressure and timely baskets. The second half got close and saw Edgemont pull away at the end for a 35-28 victory. Coach Hulm felt that the team worked hard, but just needed to work on closing out this game.
The Varsity was next up. The Moguls got out to an early 9-0 lead before the Wolves woke up and went on a 11-0 run and took a 24-16 lead into the half.
The second half was all Lady Wolves as they scored 21 points in the third quarter and won the game, 63-42. I thought we came out a little flat and needed to get going a lot sooner. Our defensive pressure was good and it created timely turnovers that we were able to convert.
On Saturday, the Lady Wolves traveled to Lusk. The JV team responded to what Coach Hulm felt they needed to do the night before and played really well. They were able to get the lead and take care of it for a 44-40 victory. Coach Hulm was proud of the effort and the ability to talk about what needed to happen the night before and then execute on Saturday.
The Varsity took the floor next and came out strong. The Lady Wolves jumped out to a 33-14 halftime lead. The Tigers were able to come back and cut the lead to 10 midway through the fourth quarter.
When the game got tight, the Wolves kept their composure and executed at the end of the game for a 59-46 victory. The team was happy with the victory but we know there are things that we can improve on. Overall, it was a good weekend. We found ourselves in situations that we had to recognize and learn from, which is a good opportunity to improve.
The Lady Wolves return to action on Friday when they take on Big Horn and Saturday versus Wright. Both games are at home. Friday night is our Black Out night where we are asking everyone to wear black and Saturday is a Hawaiian themed night.
Come out and support your Moorcroft Wolves!
