The Wrangell High School wrestling and volleyball teams stayed in town last weekend instead of traveling for matches, due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns.
A wrestler tested positive for COVID-19 last week after returning from a match in Anchorage with eight other athletes from the squad. The team was scheduled to compete in Ketchikan last weekend but ended up canceling due to the close-contact exposure. The tournament in Ketchikan was still held.
The volleyball team was scheduled to compete in Petersburg for a second weekend in a row, and for a second weekend in a row the trip was canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak there.
The wrestlers were scheduled to travel to Palmer to compete in the Lancer Smith Memorial tournament this weekend but will not be attending. Only one match in Juneau, planned for Dec. 3-4, remains on the schedule before regionals are held in Wrangell Dec. 10-11 and state tournament in Anchorage Dec. 17-18.
The volleyball team is scheduled to go to Haines for regionals this weekend. As of Monday, coach Alyssa Allen said the team was planning to travel to the games.
