The teams continued practices during the holiday break, preparing for the final two months of the season.

West Iron County’s boys team returned to action at North Dickinson on Jan. 4, and they will travel to Bessemer on Jan. 7. The Wykons’ blue road uniforms will get plenty of time off after that—starting Jan. 12, West Iron [;ays eight of its next nine at home.

Florence will visit on Jan. 12, followed by Calumet, Ironwood and Forest Park. The Wykons travel to Hancock Jan. 26 and then return for home games against Bessemer, Iron Mountain, Houghton and Kingsford.

The Wykon boys are 2-2 so far this season and 1-1 in the West Pac Conference.
