"Our conditioning really paid off," explained Head Coach Clinton Landon, "especially with the two games on Friday and an early game in the morning on Saturday."

Vasco stayed out of the Mountain View game due to a trip up during the Pinedale game, and Coach Landon and Vasco both decided to keep her out of this game to get some rest. Still, the entire team worked hard to face their opponent.

"It was a big team effort and it was fun to watch the team to start coming together," said Coach Landon.

The Lady Wolves will have two weeks off during the Christmas Break and will head to the Cheyenne Invite. On Thursday, January 9, The Lady Wolves will play Cheyenne Central. On Friday, January 10, the team will play Wheatland. On Saturday, January 11, the team will play Southeast High School.

"Central is one of the top teams. It is going to be a challenge for us," explained Coach Landon.
