Boys basketball prepares for final home game

One more week and two more games before the Wolves travel to Cody for Regionals.

Before that trip, the Wolves will face Rock Springs and Star Valley, with the Star Valley game being the final night the Wolves will play at home.

Last week, the Wolves broke even, losing at home against Evanston, but returning from an away game in Jackson with a win. With Evanston, head coach Laurie Ivie said the team played sluggishly during the first half, being out rebounded 21-7 by the Red Devils. The boys would mount a comeback in the fourth quarter, but ultimately lost 75-70.

“If we would have put forth the effort we did in the fourth quarter for the entire game, the outcome would have been different,” Ivie said.

The Wolves visit to Jackson went much better, with the team earning a 67-60 victory over the Broncs. The effort was led by Chase Stoeger’s double-double, scoring 21 points and 11 rebounds. Stoeger was supported by double-digit scoring by Matthew Seymour with 18 points, Haden Courts with 11 and Grant Cobb with 10. Ivie said the team’s defensive effort sparked their offense throughout the entire game.

Tomorrow, the Wolves take on the Tigers in Rock Springs. During the teams’ previous meeting, the Wolves came away with a commanding 83-51 win in Green River. However, Ivie isn’t predicting an easy win in Rock Springs.

“Rock Springs has continued to improve every game winning big games over the weekend against Riverton and Cody,” Ivie said. “We have continued to improve as well. It should be a battle.”

The varsity game is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. at Rock Springs High School.

On Friday, the Wolves will take on Star Valley in an opportunity to even the score with the team in front of a home crowd. During their last meeting, Star Valley defeated the Wolves in a close 68-65 game. Ivie said the Wolves will have to control the tempo with the Braves if they want to win.

The game is scheduled to start at 7 p.m.

Senior night for both the boys and girls basketball teams will take place prior to the game.
