The Wolves did our job tonight for a 42-13 W, but we ended up being the first team out of the playoffs tonight.

Just a reminder, if you’re not currently in a sport & consider yourself an athlete, you should be in the weight room! You’ll gain confidence, get tougher, & learn to push thru adversity! Training with a friend makes it even better...plus its free!
