The Dalhart High fall sports teams, volleyball, cross country and football, all started practice over the past several days, with the Lady Wolves beginning volleyball practice on Saturday August 1, the cross country teams starting with a Midnight Madness practice on August 3, and the football team starting their practice at 1 p.m. the same day.
With the exception of last year, when their first practice was at about 6 a.m., the Dalhart cross country runners have had a tradition of holding a Midnight Madness practice for their first practice of the season. The high school runners then started morning practices on Tuesday August 4. The junior high runners will have their next practice early in the morning of the first day of school, Wednesday August 12. The first meet of the year will be the 6-Mile Relay at Canyon on Saturday August 22, and then the first regular meet will be the following week on August 29 at Perryton.
The Lady Wolves volleyball team has been practicing once or twice a day all this week, and will scrimmage at Caprock High tomorrow against both Caprock and Palo Duro. Their first real game will be next Tuesday, August 11 at home against Borger, with the freshmen team starting at 5 p.m. and the JV and varsity following. All three teams will be at tournaments next weekend, with the varsity traveling to Shallowater while the freshmen go to Pampa and the JV team goes to Borger.
The football team practiced Tuesday morning in full pads, but without contact, and then the varsity had an extra practice just wearing helmets and shorts and shirts that afternoon. There were practices scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday morning as well, with another varsity practice Thursday afternoon. Practice tomorrow, Friday August 7, will include contact, but not full contact.
There will be a couple of more morning practices next Monday and Tuesday before the team goes to its regular afternoon practices when school starts on August 12. The Wolves will host Sunray for a scrimmage next Friday, August 14 at 6 p.m. in Memorial Stadium, and will travel to Dimmitt for a scrimmage the following Friday, August 21. The first game of the year will be on Friday August 28 at Perryton.
