The first full week of high school winter sports is upon us, and the schedule-makers did not disappoint. On the girls’ side, the marquee matchup occurs Thursday at Conrad, where the Red Wolves will host St. Elizabeth. These teams have developed a nice rivalry over the past couple of seasons, and the Wolves Den promises to be rocking and full to capacity.
