LET'S GO!! First football game of the season is tonight at 7pm in Lake Preston v the Iroquois-Lake Preston Sharks! If you are attending the game, please do not cross coned-off areas on the field. There is no livestream available for the game tonight due to the location change.
After a couple weeks of wheeling, dealing, scheming, and compromising, Mr. Hanson was able to make a Homecoming Week Volleyball game work! Long story short: Aberdeen Christian will be coming to Wilmot for a 6:00pm game Thursday, September 25th.
Background for those interested: Mr. Hanson plans out two years in advance when putting together schedules. SDHSAA numbers each week during the athletic year starting in July. ADs look at corresponding weeks for dates with teams, sometimes adding or removing teams from their schedules. Then they look at specific dates (example: Tuesday of Week 14). ADs work to find dates that work out.
THEN, each spring schools receive their football schedule from the state. The state sent out schedules in the middle of April. Mr. Hulscher and Mr. Hanson then immediately started looking for an appropriate homecoming date and week. They look at the bye week, and then determine which home game is most appropriate- can't be too early in the season, can't be too late. We check with the alumni group and the city to make sure the community center is available. A date that worked for all was picked. Much later, it was noted that there were no home volleyball games that week on our schedule. A reminder that the original volleyball schedule had been established with other teams and also officials had those dates on their schedule.
It is a miraculous feat to find two officials with the date open to make this work, and a team as gracious as Aberdeen Christian to make this work. We will be travelling to Aberdeen the next two years for our games. All dates and times will be updated shortly on Bound, sportsYou, and our school calendar. In the meantime, you can download and print this calendar for our volleyball schedule this year!

Due to flooding from the recent rains, the game on Friday (8/22) will be moved to Lake Preston.
Excited about Wolves football and also feeling nostalgic? Mr. Hanson had some old video if you're interested! Games from 1992 ( if you still have a VCR) through 2010. First come first serve and if no takers by the end of the week, they will be in the "permanent archive" (dumpster).
It was just pointed out that in the pocket calendars, there is a September 3rd date for a volleyball game with Waubay-Summit. This should have been September 2nd, as September 3rd is a Wednesday. Sorry for any confusion!
