“We have placed a major emphasis on rebounding this season,” Head Coach Laurie Ivie said. “We out-rebounded the Bison 41-22, and the Laramie Plainsmen 37-28. That is significant to our team, and will remain a focus for us as we head into the weekend at the Flaming Gorge Classic.”
The Wolves will tip off against Rawlins at 7:40 p.m. tonight for the start of the Flaming Gorge Classic Tournament. They will also face Mountain View at 6 p.m. on Friday and Lyman at 4:20 p.m. on Saturday.
