The weekend presents a significant test for both programs as Kelly Walsh comes into the weekend with the No. 1-ranked girls team in 4A, while the boys are tied for second place on the latest coaches and media polls.

Green River enters after splitting road matches at Jackson, with the boys now 4-1 and ranked No. 5 in Class 4A, and the girls sitting at 3-2. The Wolves will look to respond at home, where they opened the season undefeated, as they take on a Natrona County team Friday before facing Kelly Walsh on Saturday.

Rock Springs, meanwhile, will look to build momentum after a tough pair of games in the cold last week at home against Jackson, the top-ranked boys team and the third-ranked girls team.
