Quarterback Caleb Lake gets ready to throw a pass during a home game in Green River last week.
After starting the season with three straight home games, including a 48-0 win over Rawlins, the Green River High School Wolves football team traveled north to take on the Worland Warriors in their annual homecoming game.
Worland kicked off to the Wolves, who started with a 23-yard pass completion from senior quarterback Caleb Lake to fellow senior Jackson Mitchell. Several runs by Bracken Miller and the Wolves were moving the ball, with their offensive lines providing some good blocking, but the drive stalled and the Wolves had to punt the ball. The Warriors moved the ball on a couple plays, but Jackson Mitchell and Gage Finley stopped their runner for a loss and a pass break up by Skyler Lee, and Worland had to punt. The Wolves again got a couple good offensive gains but had to punt and Worland took just two big pass plays before scoring the first touchdown of the game. With the P.A.T. good, the Warriors had taken an early 7-0 lead.
The Wolves got five plays on their next offensive series before being forced to punt once more. Worland was stopped on a couple plays with good defense from Nate Mitchell, Bryson Birch, Kyler Bartlett and Finley among others, but after a big run by Worland's quarterback in the drive, another big pass completion, and a good P.A.T kick, Worland was up 14-0 to start the second quarter.
The Wolves got good field position after a 31-yard kick off return. With a pass complete to Nate Mitchell, Miller carried the ball several times for good yardage before Lake connected with Mitchell for the Wolves' first touchdown. The two-point conversion failed, but the Wolves were on the scoreboard 14-6.
Worland took just two plays including a big 53-yard pass completion for their third touch down of the half, and the P.A.T. made it 21-6. The Wolves ran just five plays before giving the ball back to Worland, who promptly scored again, taking a 28-6 lead into half time.
The two teams both had short drives to start the second half before Worland got off a pass completion and a couple of good runs, culminating with Worland's quarterback taking the ball in from 15 yards out for a 35-6 lead. The Wolves came back with a score of their own to close the gap to 35-13 prior to the start of the 4th quarter.
In the 4th quarter, Worland went mostly to their passing game and scored an early 4th quarter touchdown to up their lead to 41-12. The Wolves came right back on a long drive of their own, with the big plays being a pass completion from Lake to Mitchell and six runs by Bracken Miller, culminating in him taking it in for another Wolves' touchdown. With the two-point conversion no good, the scoring was over with Worland taking the win 41-18.
The Wolves will be home for their next game as they will take on the Powell Panthers.
