Wolves howl to double victory

To say that the Prescott

Curley Wolves and Prescott

Curley Cubs won is a gross

understatement. The fact is,

the Wolves put in an appearance

on the Gurdon Go-

Devils home turf and simply

refused to allow the Devils to

score a single touchdown. The

final score was 44-0.

The game started as a shoving

match with both teams

making the push to within a

few yards of a touchdown but

the defense refusing to allow

the score. Then the Wolves

shoved the Devils back over

the Wolf goal line and took a

two-point lead.

There followed a series of

plays that included turnovers

on both sides with the Wolves

forcing a turnover at the

Devils own 2-yard line. With

4:34 left in the first quarter,

the Wolves made the first

touchdown and took the score

to 8-0. Halfway through the

second quarter, the Devils

gave up the ball to the Wolves

but immediately took it back

on a fumble. The mistake wasnt

overly costly because the

Wolves quickly intercepted.

With seconds left in the first

half, the Wolves scored again,

a trend that would send the

Wolves to a clear victory early

in the second half when the

touchdowns were plentiful and

unanswered.

The Wolves remained on

the Devils 50-yard line long

enough to receive the traveling

trophy sponsored by the

Gurdon Times and Nevada

County Picayune.

Prescott head coach Greg

Smith said the upcoming game

against Fouke is not one of the

teams traditional rivals, but

the teams coach is Smiths

brother, meaning theres some

serious rivalry anyway.
