The Kane Lady Wolves are back on track as they won their last two matches against St. Marys and Punxsutawney.Â
"The girls have been playing much better these last few weeks and they’re really focused on trying to get to districts," said Kane head varsity volleyball coach Judy Kessler. "Last week we beat St. Marys in three and tonight Punxsy in four. We just keep looking to our next match and focusing on it and not looking too far down the road. Ultimately, we want to be in the district final match, but that’s in our future. Right now, we have teams to beat."
The Kane Wolves soccer team traveled to St. Marys to take on the Dutchmen on Tuesday afternoon.
Kane already played St. Marys at home three weeks ago and came away with a one-goal loss. Despite the loss in the previous match Kane generated little offense and got beat in the middle of the field. The Wolves knew they would need to bulk up the central part of the field and generate more offense to have a chance to win the game.

The Kane Lady Wolves soccer team honored five seniors prior to Monday's game. The home team would pull out a big 2-1 win over Clarion.
"We couldn't have been paired up against a better team for our Senior Recognition game," said Kane girls varsity soccer coach Allie Saquin. "The girls came out ready to play and did a great job as a team."
In the first half the Lady Wolves were able to hold clarion to only three shots on goal. The defense worked well on challenging the ball and keeping their offense out.

I received a nice note from a friend who read my column where I mentioned being in Alaska. He said that it brought back a lot of memories of when he used to drive truck up the Alaskan Highway and back. I never knew he drove that route, but I can imagine the stories he could write about those drives. When I lived in Alaska, I did a lot of driving, mostly in the Anchorage area, but ever so often, I would go up north towards Fairbanks. In the late 60s early 70s there was only one highway heading up to Fairbanks.
On a night that was filled with emotion in the stadium the Kane Wolves and Elk County Catholic Crusaders put on a classic high school football game as the Wolves fell short, 13-6.
