The Lady Wolves travelled to Craig High School this past weekend for another round of games against the Lady Panthers. Wrangell claimed two exciting wins over Craig two weeks ago, on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. This time around, however, the Lady Panthers put up a tough fight. Both teams walked away with one win each.
The first game, on Feb. 7, went in Wrangell’s favor. It was a close game, but the Lady Wolves managed to maintain a narrow lead and claim a win. The final score was 43-50. The second game, on Feb. 8, was very close. Both teams stayed practically neck-and-neck up until the end. The game ended with Craig barely holding a three-point lead. The final score was 54-51.
Coach Laurie Brown said that their defensive game was their main shortcoming in Saturday’s game. The team’s zone defense was not as effective against the Lady Panthers after three games in a row, she said. Brown also added that her team was struggling to keep up with Craig in making points on Saturday.
“We just were having a hard time finding that basket,” she said.
All in all, though, Brown said she was happy with the Lady Wolves’ performance. They are going to work on strengthening their defensive game moving forward, she said. The Lady Wolves will be facing off against Metlakatla this weekend, Feb. 14 and 15. Brown said she is excited to play against the Miss Chiefs again.
“We’re really looking forward to these games,” she said. “This is the team to beat.”
