Lady Wolves fall to Craig in first home games of the season

The Wrangell Lady Wolves volleyball team, held their first home games of the season last Saturday against the Craig Lady Panthers. The games were hard-fought, but ultimately Wrangell was not able to claim any victories this time around.

As part of a COVID-19 mitigation plan, the public was not invited to attend the games. Instead, they were live-streamed to the school district's YouTube channel.

The first game had the two teams neck-and-neck for a good portion of the game, with the Lady Wolves maintaining a narrow lead at several points. The game tied up at 17-17, where Craig managed to pull ahead. The final score was 20-25, a win for Craig.

The second game went heavily in Craig's favor. They took the lead early and held on to it right up to the end. The final score was 17-25.

Wrangell got the first score of game three, but Craig was able to pull ahead 4-6. Then, it was Wrangell's turn to pull ahead. However, Craig managed to keep up and tied the game at 12-12. They then took the lead and eventually claimed victory. The final score of the game was 14-25.

WHS Activities Director Trisa Rooney said the Lady Wolves are scheduled to travel to Petersburg this weekend for their next set of games. However, as Petersburg has seen several recent cases of COVID-19, she said a final decision to go has not been made as of Oct. 20.
