Weiser wrestlers were in Elgin, Ore., last weekend at the John Rysdam Memorial Tournament where they handily took first place by beating Baker, Ore., among others.

Weiser varsity basketball coach Brad Adolfson credited a solid defensive effort by the Wolverines as key in Thursday night’s 54-37 win over New Plymouth at home.
 “I think we played pretty good defense, and I think that leads to better opportunities offensively. The key was our defense. It was just a great overall team win,” Adolfson said.
 New Plymouth’s best scorer, Kaden Leslie, had 23 points on a recent night against Vale, but he couldn’t buy a basket at Weiser against the Wolverines.

The Lady Wolverines paired up against both the Melba Mustangs and the Lady Trojans from Nampa Christian High School last week, and came up short in both non-conference games.
 Sara Lundberg was on fire from behind the arc, with four three-point buckets, but the rest of the Wolverine squad struggled with their shots and were successful with their shot selection only 26 percent of the time.  
 However, the fast-pace and shooting of Melba proved to be too much for the Wolverines to overcome; dropping the game 53-32.
