Iron-Buhl spoiled the Wolves’ Fall Homecoming celebration, cruising to a 54-8 high school football victory. Yet while the host Timberwolves fell to 0-3 in what, at first glance, looked like a lopsided affair, the hosts had some shining moments in the opening half.

Ely was competitive for much of the first half and reached the end zone twice in a more respectable, 38-14 defeat in this year’s clash, held Sept. 3 at Barnum.
