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...
The Lady Wolves split a pair of home games against Metlakatla last weekend and walked away with a squeaker of a win on Friday – and a loss on Saturday despite one player’s outstanding accuracy from beyond three-point land. The Friday night matchup saw the Lady Wolves best the Miss Chieftains 34-31 on Wrangell’s home court, with sophomore Darian Meissner leading the pack with 14 points off five buckets and shooting 66 percent (4-6) from the free throw line. Senior Alyssa Allen was on fire both...
After a four-game winning streak over Haines during the past two weeks, the Wolves basketball team dropped a pair in Metlakatla as the Chieftains held Wrangell to 32 points on both Friday and Saturday nights. The Chieftains took home their first win in a 47-32 final score that saw Wrangell senior Ryan Reeves rise to the occasion and make his usual double-digit tally. He ended the night on Friday with 12 points, including a deep three-pointer in the opening minutes of the third period. Devon...
After having one of the most successful seasons in the history of Little League in Wrangell, league president Brennon Eagle says he’s looking ahead to a greater season in 2013. Eagle, who is sitting as the president of Wrangell’s organization, said he is looking for parents and others who are interested in being a part of the season. “Our last season was so successful and we’re looking to build on that,” Eagle said. “We’re looking at games starting tentatively by the end of April. We had 115 kids in Little League last year, which is the most w...
After a heartbreaking string of losses to a number of Southeast teams, the Wolves overcame major adversity and a lack of previous defensive play to take Haines in four straight games both on the road and at home over the past two weekends. The home rally, as some might call it, began last Friday night as Wrangell cruised through turbulent waters to arrive at a 56-46 final score against the Glacier Bears. The team led nearly the entire game and was eclipsed only once in the third period when...
In the oral history of Native Alaskans, the thunderbird is a creature that is revered, respected, sometimes feared, and responsible for stirring the winds with storms and thunder when it flies.

The Lady Wolves split the difference against Haines over the weekend by taking away a 38-35 win on Saturday – after a close game on Friday night that saw Wrangell fall by only three points in a 36-33 loss to the Lady Glacier Bears. Wrangell senior Alyssa Allen led the Lady Wolves on Saturday with 14 points, including two buckets and a successful three-pointer. Her greatest contribution, however, came at the line where she went 7-for-10. Teammate MiKayla Stokes was also in double digits with 10 p...
A defensive battle was the name of the game this week as the Wrangell Wolves faced off against the Haines Glacier Bears in a two-day away game series that saw Wrangell walk away with a pair of wins for their effort. The Wolves ended up playing the games on a rare Sunday-Monday series thanks to bad weather that left the team stuck in Ketchikan. The delay was due to bad weather in Juneau that socked in the team. They flew Saturday to Juneau and then took a ferry on Sunday to Haines. After the...
