The Wrangell Wolves continue to go undefeated against the Craig Panthers this year, after their most recent games this past week. It has been a difficult season for the Wolves, who have faced tough opponents and several hard-fought losses. Their only previous win, this season, was also against Craig High School during the Clarke Cochrane Tournament back in December.
During their first game on Friday, Jan. 31, the Wolves managed to stay ahead of the Panthers by a few baskets. The final score was 57-46 in favor of Wrangell. Saturday night’s game, on Feb. 1, was heavily in favor of Wrangell. With a final score of 60-39, Wrangell claimed their third win of the season.
Coach Cody Angerman said he was incredibly proud of his team. They played hard this past weekend, and he is happy to see the results. They have been practicing hard, he said, with an emphasis on their defensive game, and the results are starting to show. Having a strong defense makes the rest of the game come together much better, he said, and creates more opportunities for the team to pull ahead.
“Before we were just kind of swinging the ball around, just waiting for something to open up,” he said.
The Wolves will be playing against Craig again this week in a set of home games on Feb. 7 and 8. Angerman said that he does not like to go into games expecting a win or a loss, but he is confident in the Wolves’ abilities.
“I think we don’t really need to change anything,” he said. “Just tie up some loose ends and we’ll be good.”
