The Lady Wolves finished their regular season with a full sweep against visiting Craig High School players on Feb. 20 and 21.
"It was really nice to get some wins before regionals," said Jack Carney, the high school's activity director.
Wrangell took an early lead
in Friday's game, building on
that each quarter for a 51 to 24 win.
"Amy Jenson and Taylor Bean really did well," said Carney. During Friday's game, the pair led with 15 and 16 points between them.
Saturday's game was more closely played, with the Lady Wolves maintaining an 18 to 15 lead at the half. The girls put down a number of free-throws in the final quarter, beating Craig 42 to 30.
Bean and Jenson again led the team for scores, with 11 and 10 points. Marsha McCay also led the team for free throws, netting seven of her 15.
Being their last game of the season, time was taken to honor outgoing seniors Darian Meissner, McCay and Caroline Ward.
"That was nice to see," said Carney. "They'll definitely be missed in the coming season."
The junior varsity Lady Wolves also played a good
weekend, winning 38 to 28 on Friday, and playing a tight second half Saturday to win 28 over Craig's 25.
The girls will head to Ketchikan March 4 to play in the Region V Tournament in Ketchikan.
