The Ely High School football team relied on a dominant defense all season and especially during a cold, wind-driven rain last Friday to beat Cook County High School, 27-0, in the Section 7 9-Man championship game at Les Knuti Field in Esko. The Timberwolves make their third trip to the state tournament beginning tonight at Bemidji State University when they take on Section 8 champion Stephen-Argyle Central High School. The Wolves have made three trips to state in the past four years. Look for full coverage of last week’s game the sports section of this week's Timberjay.
