The Lady Wolves and Petersburg’s Lady Vikings club team split a pair of games last week as Wrangell played their first matches of the 2013 softball season. At home to kick off the season, Wrangell won the first game on Thursday, April 25 by a 21-20 margin. Head coach Kathleen Harding said she thought the weather – which contributed to officials calling the game in the sixth inning – had an impact on the game and helped the Lady Wolves to the win. “For having mostly beginners, I think we played...
The Lady Wolves softball team has hit the diamond at the city fields – and are beginning work toward their 2013 season with a pair of seniors leading the way and head coach Kathleen Harding at the helm once again. In 2012 the squad finished last season with a convincing 20-7 win over the Craig Lady Panthers at home, but only after overcoming a 26-38 loss in the two-game opener. It was during the win that Wrangell’s McKenna Harding and Alyssa Allen had back-to-back homers. Allen, and fellow senio...
After what seems like an eternity of wind, rain, snow and generally horrid weather all winter, the staff at Muskeg Meadows Golf Course has opened for business and is poised for the 2013 season to begin. Course manager Shannon Booker said that while the course is currently open for both rounds on the links and for use of the driving range, the kickoff of the course’s season will begin early next month. “The Angerman’s Tournament will be May 4-5 and we are expecting up to 20 participants for that...

On paper it looked like one of the best match ups of the 67th Annual Gold Medal Basketball Tournament as Hydaburg and Wrangell faced off in a Thursday afternoon elimination game that saw Hydaburg get the 67-48 win and Wrangell seats to watch the remainder of the tournament. The paper was unkind for the Stikine River boys as the Thunderbirds shots would not go down as often as they did in Wrangell’s first games of the tournament, while Hydaburg continued to ride the hot hands of the Edenshaw l...
Gold Medal B bracket runner-up Haines had their hands full with Wrangell on Monday. The Merchants could not put the Stikine River boys away as the Thunderbirds, playing their second game in as many days, overcame an early 8-3 Haines run and played to a 38-35 halftime advantage. The Thunderbirds hit seven triples in the half but only one in the second. The Merchants used a series of backdoor cuts if center Ben Egolf could not find post position but lost the battle on the boards in the second...
The Wrangell Wolves varsity basketball squad put in two days of ferocious play during the Region V 2A tournament at Mt. Edgecumbe High School last weekend – and kept it close in a Friday game that saw them eliminated by the slightest of margins. Entering into the tournament as the 4th seed on Thursday, the Wolves drew the Craig Panthers as their opponent. The Panthers won the game by a 73-46 final score. Wrangell led the Panthers 11-8 in the first period off the quartet of Jacob Marshall, Blaine...
The Lady Wolves varsity squad traveled to Mt. Edgecumbe High School in Sitka last week to take part in the 2013 Region V 2A basketball tournament – and nearly came away with a trip to the Alaska State basketball tournament, missing the chance by only a handful of points. Entering the tournament in the 4th seed, the Lady Wolves began their jaunt with a tough 38-31 loss to 3rd seed Craig. During the game, high scorer Darian Meissner went 8-for-12 from the free throw line, and put up a bucket f...

Finishing up their regular season in Petersburg, the Lady Wolves varsity basketball team took a pair of losses during the Vikings’ homecoming event last weekend. The Lady Wolves first loss, a 48-27 drubbing on Friday night, provided a highlight in the form of senior co-captain MiKayla Stokes, however, as she glided in for 13 points – including a trey from beyond the arc and going 4-for-5 from line. Fellow senior Kayla Rooney who had 6 points, and Darian Meissner who put up five of her own, fol...
The Wrangell Wolves traveled to Petersburg last weekend to play their final regular season games during the Vikings’ homecoming celebration and, unfortunately, were sent home packing with two losses. Action began on Friday night, with the Wolves coming out the gate a little slower than expected. The team put up only 8 points in the first period, but were enthused right off the top by a deep three-pointer off the fingertips of Jacob Marshall. The team trailed the entire game, but were able to c...

The Lady Wolves ended their 2012-13 home court run last weekend as they split a pair of games with the visiting Craig Lady Panthers. The Friday night game was victorious for Wrangell as they took away a win in their 33-31 victory – and saw a game where the six-member Craig team got into foul trouble, leaving the door wide open for the Lady Wolves. “Basically, they got into foul territory and only had one other girl to put in the game,” said head coach Dane Vincent. “With that player’s lack of e...
A blistering performance by Wolves senior captain Ryan Reeves was the highlight of last weekend’s trip to Craig for the Wrangell squad – and saw a heartbreaking loss in a game where Reeves scored in the double digits and more. Reeves’ performance was on fire on Sunday night when he scored 21 points for the Wolves off six buckets, a pair of three-pointers, and going 3-for-5 from the line. The performance put forth by Reeves and company was so convincing that Wrangell led the Panthers at the end of the first and third periods. The Panthers won th...
