In the last game of the COVID-19-shortened season in 2020, the Wyoming Wolves beat the Holland Dutch 34-26.
Since that night in October 2020, the Wolves have won only one game.
Nearly two years later, on a rain-filled and chilly homecoming night, the Wolves again emerged victorious against the Holland Dutch 34-13 on Friday night.
Two plays into the opening drive, the Wolves lost junior quarterback Jay Johnson to an injury.
As Johnson was helped off the field, he had a moment of embrace with junior quarterback Adrian Moore, who would take over at quarterback for the Wolves.
Moore would get Wyoming on the board first, scoring on a QB keeper from seven yards out early in the first quarter.
After a long punt by Holland’s Dylan Floes, the Wolves’ senior running back Donavyn Edwards took the first play 64 yards down the sideline to put Wyoming up 13-0.
The second quarter saw two long drives by the home team end in turnovers.
Mauricio Hernandez-Keys helped the defensive effort with an interception in the end zone late in the second quarter.
Wyoming led 13-0 at halftime
Junior running back Jack TerVeen came into Week 8 averaging 125 rushing yards over the last four games.
TerVeen had wide-open running lanes all night long on his way to another 100-yard game and punched the ball past the goal line three times.
Wyoming (1-7) ends the 2023 season at home next Friday hosting the Muskegon Big Reds (6-2).
