The Weiser Wolverine varsity boys golf team played in their first golf match of the season on Wednesday, March 10. The weather was beautiful for the Ice Breaker tournament at River Bend Golf Course in Homedale.
“I am very proud of the efforts given by our Wolverine golfers today. We are very young as a team and we didn’t have a season last year. Those things could have led to a very challenging and frustrating round of golf. Our boys had great attitudes, showing composure and class,” said head coach Jon Lundberg.

Lady Wolverines looking for a successful season with a lot of talented players

A year ago, the world was upended by a microorganism and the country was literally shut down, and no one was immune to the virus or the consequences of the lockdown. Even in the rural community of Weiser, everything changed and sadly, the group of Lady Wolverines that comprise the softball team were told their season was over before it even began.
Seniors hoping to get noticed by collegiate coaches were left with no venue to showcase their skills and athletes that live for the love of softball were left with a hole in their lives and their schedules.

Thirteen boys and six girls will compete on the greens for the Wolverines. With those numbers, it will be the first time in a long time Weiser girl’s will not be able to have a JV team.
Coach Jon Lundberg shared that the numbers on the girls side are a little lower this year, having been affected by not having a season last year, but that is fairly typical for girl’s golf, as usually, Weiser is one of the few that has a JV girls’ team.
“We are really excited to have a season. We are going to need to work hard, but it’s going to be exciting,” Lundberg said.

Wolverine tennis will have 32 players on the courts this year. Of those 32, eight are returning varsity players and five are seniors. Coach Angie Soulen said this should be a great season for the Wolverines.
Soulen said that she expects that all the players will be fun to watch: from the beginners from whom you will see amazing improvement throughout the short season as well as the returning state competitors Emma Tolman and Denica McClellan.
The Wolverines had 16 seniors graduate last year, so there is room for new players to rise up as leaders for the team.
