Strong players return to team

The Lady Wolves return to the field this year with a large group of freshmen and several returning players from last year.

Head girls soccer coach Tracy Wyant said the team attracted 14 freshmen and has five seniors. Wyant said some of the new players have club experience and the returning players have become team leaders.

The senior players are Kylee Hosford, Michaelee Wisniewski, Jose Alatorre, Zoe Turner and Kelby Pope.

“I’ve got a good core returning,” Wyant said.

Wyant said the recent tournament the girls participated in allowed them a chance to work out which players will fit in which positions, while competing in a format where wins and losses don’t matter as much to the overall success of the team.

“(The tournament) gave us a starting point,” she said.

Wyant said the girls are working hard during their practices in preparation for their first conference game against Rock Springs April 4.

Last year, the Lady Wolves were seeded fifth at Regionals and were knocked out of competition by Natrona County in the opening round of the tournament. The girls did not advance to state.
