Desert Mountain next face off against the 13-2 Casteel Colts on Tuesday, Jan. 9 @ 7 p.m. The Colts have been incredible this season and are currently ranked as the No. 16 team in Arizona.
The Wolves can turn it around with a victory here and gain some much-needed momentum as the end of the regular season approaches.
