The Wrangell Wolves had a winning weekend over the Panthers last weekend during their games at Craig High School.
“It was a long trip, but we came out with two JV wins and two varsity wins, so you can’t be too disappointed about that,” Wrangell coach Cody Angerman said afterward.
On January 12 Wrangell’s varsity players played hard against the home team, racking up 72 points to Craig’s 61 in a high-scoring game. Trevor Miller made a difference during the game’s second half, dropping half a dozen three-pointers and going two for two on free throws.
“He really hit some big shots,” said Angerman.
The next evening proved to be a bit tougher, with Craig stepping up its offensive game. Angerman said his team had shown some soft spots in its playing, showing there’s still room for improvement as the season heads toward its halfway point.
“Every weekend so far we’ve progressed,” he commented. “Everybody’s been working really hard.”
During Saturday’s game, he said Riley Blatchley and
freshman Brett Abrahamson had been instrumental in Wrangell’s close 70-68 victory, with the latter landing some big shots of his own and playing well defensively. Tymon Teat was a team leader during both the weekend’s games.
“He really stepped up and carried the load offensively,” said Angerman.
Junior varsity players also had a good weekend, winning Friday’s afternoon match 63-42 over Craig, and again on Saturday 75-33.
Looking ahead, the team
will be hosting Haines for its first home games of the
season this week. The Glacier Bears will be making a
midweek appearance, however, with games already scheduled over yesterday and this morning.
“It will be nice to be home,” Angerman said.
His players have been on the road for three straight weeks, putting in appearances at Ketchikan and Petersburg already before last weekend’s in Craig. After hosting Haines the Wolves will head out to Metlakatla next week for its midseason games, returning home for a rematch with Craig February 7 and 8.
