It looks like the Wolverines did it again in a low scoring football game on Friday night. They held on to win with a 13 to 7 victory in overtime. A 36 yard touchdown run in the second quarter by the Wolverine’s Matt Libert was the first score of the game. Both teams struggled on offense and were pretty ineffective throwing key interceptions throughout the game. Filer came back in the fourth quarter and scored on a 1 yard touchdown run to even up the score. Both teams couldnt come up with any other scores and it sent the game into overtime. The Wildcats had their chance in the overtime, but Mike Smith’s third-down pass intended for Tyson Johnson was intercepted at the one-yard line by Wolverines defensive back Carter Stewart. A couple of hard runs by Wolverine’s Thompson drove in for the winning touchdown and the game was over. Next stop for the Wolverines is at Buhl next Friday night on the 15th.

Wow!!! What a game. For those of you who didnt leave the crowded city for the long weekend got a chance to see a very exciting football game. What a difference a week makes. The Wolverines came out ready to play. After a heartbreaking loss last week, Coach Glenn had every intention of keeping his players fired up for four quarters.

The Wolverines jumped out to an early lead shortly after kickoff when the defense came up with an interception deep in Preston’s territory. The offense rambled in for the score to start out like last week. The Defense from the Wolverines did a much better job of tackling and flying to the ball. The offense continues to get better behind a much bigger offensive line than last year. The kids look like they are making steady progress on staying on blocks better and executing Coach Glenn’s plays. But everyone in the stands had a feeling that Preston wouldn’t give up, and that was the right call. Preston’s special teams took some wind out of the Wolverines when they returned a punt up the sidelines for a touchdown. The game came down to the final minutes with both teams scoring on each other. Wood river had a 40 to 32 lead in the final minutes but Preston was driving the ball down deep into Wolverine territory. The Wolverine defense ended the game this time like they started with a key interception in the final seconds of play around there own 15 yard line.

I will miss the next couple of weeks because there will be no high school football to watch with the Wolverines on the road. We won’t be able to cheer them back on until Homecoming on September 22. Let’s all turn out and welcome them back to valley and help them to victory.

With cooler temperatures starting to come around, one passion is coming this way for me. Football. For me, it all starts with High school and then college before I go full swing into the NFL season. The much anticipated start of Wolverine football happened this last Friday night. Their preseason opponent was Fruitland, a well coached and disciplined football program which would prove a tough and challenging game for our wolverines. When I arrived at the game, the stands were full with a very enthusiastic crowd backing the 2nd year coach. I have to say that it is also nice to see a lot of kids out for this year’s program. Coach Glenn definitely had the wolverines fired up to start out this game. The offense and defense played well in the first quarter. The offense seemed to move the ball pretty well for the wolverines first game moving the ball for first downs and not getting many penalties to start. The defensive players were flying to the ball and making good tackles. The wolverines moved out to an early lead in the first half by good execution of the offense and some good plays by the defense. However, the well disciplined Fruitland came back and took over the second half. The wolverine defense wasn’t able to stop the inside run play or the sweep around the end. The Fruitland offense was able to come from behind and score 3 touchdowns and covert all their 2 point conversions. Final score, Fruitland 24 Wolverines 10. I have confidence that Coach Glenn will get the team to pull together for 4 quarters and lead his team to a winning season. Let’s stay behind these kids and show up this Friday night at 7:00p.m. to cheer your Wolverine Football program on.

Go Wolverines!!!!
