James Bunderman takes a moment to catch his breath during football practice Tuesday afternoon. Bunderman will play for the first time in a year after injury left him on the bench for his junior year.
For James Bunderman, it'll be his first chance to play for the Wolves football team in a year.
A broken collarbone at the start of the football season last year sidelined Bunderman for the whole fall semester. He suited up in pads with the rest of his team, watching and cheering as the Wolves advanced through the playoffs, defeating an undefeated Jackson Hole squad, and making their way to play under the lights at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie.
"I was there for my team, cheering them on" he said.
Initially it was tough on Bunderman, who said the first few weeks were the roughest, but received a lot of support from his teammates.
"They told me I had one more year left and supported me," Bunderman said.
Bunderman said he looks forward to seeing where the team goes this year, believing the Wolves have another chance at travelling to War Memorial Stadium at the end of the season. He said that result depends on if the team can come together when it counts, which he believes will happen.
"I'm excited to see what the season has in store for us," Bunderman said.
The Wolves will play their first game against Riverton High School Sept. 2 in Riverton.
A jamboree involving GRHS, Mountain View High School and Lyman High School is scheduled to take place at Wolves Stadium Friday at 6 p.m.
