Wolves Advance To State Flag Football Tournament

The Wolf Point Wolves qualified for the state flag football tournament by placing second at the Class A/B divisional tourney held in Glendive on Friday, Oct. 2.

The Wolves advanced by stopping Glasgow, 21-0, in the semi-final round.

Leading the Wolves to the victory were Anna Matejovsky with two touchdowns and Ma’Kenzie Jackson with one receiving touchdown.

Wolf Point then lost a hard-fought 7-6 contest against Glendive in the divisional title game.

Glendive made a scoring threat in the second quarter, but the Wolves forced two straight incompletions to end Glendive’s possession.

Early in the third quarter, the Wolves drove inside Glendive territory on short pass completions from quarterback Maci Fourstar. The junior then raced 17 yards for a touchdown to put Wolf Point ahead 6-0 with 5:54 left in the period.

On Glendive’s next possession, the Red Devils were stopped on strong defensive plays by Paisley Bruner and Addy Smith.

A defensive pass interference call put the Glendive into scoring position during the fourth quarter. Glendive went on to reach the end zone on a pass with 4:36 remaining in the game. The Red Devils ran in the conversion for a 7-6 lead.

The Wolves responded by driving inside Glendive territory. Runs by Matejovsky and Smith advanced the ball as far as the Red Devil 31 before the Wolves lost the ball on downs.

After a nice punt return by Matejovsky, the Wolves drove inside Glendive territory during the final minute but couldn’t score.

The top three teams from the tournament advanced to state. Glasgow downed Poplar, 19-0, in the third-place game.

The state tournament is held this week in Lockwood.
