Lady Wolves victorious in last home games of the season

The Wrangell Lady Wolves hosted their final home games of the season last Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 25 and 26, against the Haines Glacier Bears. It was the final set of home games for two seniors on the team, Kaylyn Easterly and Maddy Harding.

"Those two have been crucial in our success as a team,'' Coach Laurie Brown said.

In both games, Wrangell blew Haines out of the water and walked away with two big wins. The first game opened with Wrangell taking a commanding lead in the first quarter, 27-7. They maintained this lead for the rest of the game. The Lady Wolves pulled ahead further in the second quarter, 44-15. The final score in the third quarter was 53-17. The final score for the game was 68-24, a win for Wrangell.

Wednesday's game also went in favor of Wrangell. The game opened with a score of 14-11. The second quarter saw the Lady Wolves push their lead to 35-20, and then 49-25 in the third quarter. Finally, the game ended with a score of 61-27, another win for Wrangell.

"The girls played well and were able to work on some things we wanted to perfect before Regionals,'' Brown said.

The Lady Wolves will be heading to Regionals next. Brown said they will be leaving for Juneau on March 10, and will be going up against the Petersburg Lady Vikings first. Brown said that all of the teams are very competitive this year, and that Regionals will go to whichever team shows up and plays the hardest.
