Guy Grace prepares to pass to another Green River player during action at home earlier in the season. The Wolves are looking to earn a second win against Rock Springs when they take the Tigers on at Tiger Stadium at 5 p.m.
An 8-0 loss to Jackson served as a wake-up call for the Wolves soccer program.
The boys travelled to Jackson Saturday following an away game in Star Valley last Thursday that resulted in a 1-1 overtime tie and saw one of the Braves being removed from the game due to a red card violation.
With Jackson, head soccer coach Jorge Salseco didn't mince words when it came to what led to the loss.
"We just didn't show up," he said.
This loss comes after the Wolves were able to hold Jackson to only four goals when the Broncs visited Green River March 24.
Salcedo said the team has started slacking on the defensive side of the game, which has led to the coaches focusing on defense during practices throughout the week. He said the boys know how to play defensively and create plays, but need to focus more on that side of the game.
The Wolves will take on the Rock Springs Tigers at Tiger Stadium today at 5 p.m. The last meeting between the two teams ended in a 2-0 victory for the Wolves April 12. The Wolves have a 4-3-1 record in the 4A West Conference, placing them fourth overall. The Tigers have a 5-3 record in the conference, ranking them third.
Salcedo said the team isn't concerned with Rock Springs, saying the coaches are focusing on getting the players up to the level they need to be at for the remainder of the season. He said the team should be ready for what Rock Springs can bring to the field.
The Wolves are expected to take the field in Rock Springs more galvanized than in their match with Jackson.
"They definitely got the message," Salcedo concluded.
Following today's game in Rock Springs, the Wolves will travel to Evanston Friday. They will then go to Casper next week to take on Kelly Walsh May 6 and Natrona May 7.
