  • Brandon Arteaga scored the field goal, leading the team to victory. Key players on defense created tackles, helping protect the ball. 
  • Communication played a main role in this game, not only among team members but also with those who were cheering on the Wolves. 

What’s next | The Wolves will have a home game against the Kennedy Golden Cougars Friday, Sept. 16.

Team Thoughts | “I go ‘till I drop, I don’t stop, I keep going. I’m working out seven days a week, I’m always trying to put my city on my back and trying to represent the school that I come from.” Urial Rios says.

Our thoughts | After many losses, this game brings pride and hope to our school, but also adds some pressure for the team in the upcoming game.
