Any time you have constant rain and then wind along with it, there are going to be challenges on all of the holes. I really...

Moorcroft’s boys’ basketball team, the smallest 3A school in the state, fought in the Regionals last week with determination and grit. Coach Nick Redden had two goals for this year’s Regionals: “To have people gain respect for Moorcroft Basketball and to leave a mark; everything past that was going to be above and beyond”. The Wolves took on Torrington on Thursday and while they lost this first game, Redden spoke of the team’s fortitude, saying, “Going up against a difficult team like that we definitely held our own.” The coach speaks to the r...
On Thursday, the Lady Wolves traveled to Torrington for the first round of the 3A Regional Basketball Tournament. Moorcroft’s first opponent was the Wheatland Lady Bulldogs.

The second half picked up offensively and the Lady Wolves found themselves down 18-17 to start the 4th quarter. The last quarter was back and forth; the Lady Wolves had opportunities to take the lead in the last minute but c...

On Friday night, the Lady Wolves welcomed the Lady Bulldogs from Wheatland for the last game of the regular season. We knew going in that it was going to be a competitive game. The game got off to a good start with neither team able to pull away and both teams were tied going into the half. I was pleased with where we were going into the half. It was really a defensive battle in the first half and that continued into the second half. Moorcroft found themselves down six points with 3:00 minutes...
The Moorcroft Wolves boys' basketball team have made it to Regionals this year and will play against Torrington or Rawlins in the three-seed bracket. As of the time of this report, these two remaining teams had not played due to inclement weather and neither had forfeited. According to Coach Nick Redden, this third position is good. "We would have to play some of our best basketball against [number one teams] Douglas or Buffalo; we've held very well with Buffalo before, but it's a mind-set...
On Friday, the Lady Wolves traveled to Buffalo to take on the Lady Bison. Buffalo came out quickly and jumped out to a 22-5 first quarter lead. The Lady Wolves were able to close the gap and found themselves down, 32-17 at halftime. Buffalo was able to pull away in the second half for a 66-37 victory. We had a couple of quarters where we weren’t able to get defensive stops and our offense stalled. I thought the other two quarters were good, but we need to be able to put all four quarters together. On Saturday, the Lady Eagles from Tongue R...
