The Lady Wolves had an amazing weekend in Haines last weekend, playing against the Glacier Bears. Adding on another two victories, the girl's basketball team is now 4-0 in conference games.
The Lady Wolves basketball team travelled to Haines to face off against the Glacier Bears in the second weekend of conference games this season. Things went in Wrangell's favor in both games, and the team walked away with two more victories under their belts. The Lady Wolves are now 4-0 in conference play.
On Friday night, Jan. 18, the Lady Wolves took a commanding lead right from the start. They lead by 23 points by the end of the first quarter, with Haines not able to make a single basket. By the end of the third quarter, the Glacier Bears had only managed to make eight points. When the buzzer went off at the end of the fourth quarter, the Lady Wolves had blown the Glacier Bears out of the water, 63 points to their 16.
Saturday's game was more challenging, but still a win for Wrangell. The Glacier Bears fought hard to make baskets and keep up, but Wrangell was able to maintain a solid lead. The last varsity game also went to the Lady Wolves, 79 to Haines' 45. Coach Laurie Brown said that Saturday's game was a good opportunity for her younger players to show off their skills.
"It was a really good weekend," said Brown. "The whole group worked well at attacking the basket and playing on defense."
This weekend, Wrangell will host home games against Metlakatla. They will also face off against Petersburg, the weekend after next, during homecoming.
