Jonathan Dahl held true to his word on a friendly rivalry wager! Jonathan our Wells Booster Club President, challenged Carlin High Schools Booster Club President, Tasha Caple, that the loser of the Carlin vs Wells football game had to wear a shirt from the winning team. With plenty of good-natured teasing, Jon proudly rocked the Carlin colors at the Cross Country meet in Wells the next day! 🏃♂️😂

After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Carlin, Wells was happy to have turned things around on Thursday. They took down the Pyramid Lake Lakers 52-36. This was payback for the Leopards, who suffered a 44-8 loss the last time these two teams met.

09/25/25 vs Eureka 1
10/11/24 vs Owyhee 1
10/04/24 vs Varsity Opponent 1
Wells was led to victory by Johnny Glascock and Gage Uhlig. Glascock rushed for 123 yards and two scores on only 11 carries, while Uhlig rushed for 69 yards and three TDs. Those three rushing touchdowns gave Uhlig a new career-high.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Wells was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 364 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 187 rushing yards in six consecutive games.
The win got Wells back to even at 4-4. As for Pyramid Lake, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-5.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Wells will host Mineral County at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Serpents will roll in looking for their sixth straight victory, something the Leopards surely won't give up without a fight. As for Pyramid Lake, they will look to defend their home field on Thursday against Coleville at 6:00 p.m. The Lakers will be up against the Wolves' rather soft defense (which has allowed 53 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
