Still, it has been a tough season for the Wolves and they were unable to win a conference game, putting them in last place in their quad. To prepare for regionals, Head Coach Laurie Ivie said they will focus on beating Riverton.
"Defense, specifically our transition D, will be incredibly important," added Coach Ivie.
The Wolves will travel to Star Valley to play in the 4A West Regionals on Thursday. Green River plays Riverton at 12 p.m., and if the Wolves win the game they will play again on Friday at 6 p.m. If they lose the game they will play again on Friday at noon, with games continuing through Saturday.
