Timberwolves Secure Impressive 29-7 Win Over Rebels
The Cattaraugus-Little Valley Youth Timberwolves midget team delivered a strong performance on their home turf at Catt-Little Valley School, defeating the Cuba-Rushford Rebels 29-7. Head Coach Devin Huber’s squad showed remarkable teamwork on both sides of the ball, leading to a decisive victory.

Coach Devin Huber commended his players for their collective effort, saying, “Our boys came out as an entire unit and left it all out on the field. Everyone had a chance to get their fair share of time this week. We were very happy with all of our players, first and second-year. Our offense stepped up with multiple players contributing in key roles, while the line held strong throughout the game. We have made it our mission to reinforce that games are won and lost on the line on both offense and defense this year. This continues to be a special group of kids, who have a lot of heart and drive both on and off the field.”
The collective energy and intensity the Timberwolves brought to the field propelled them to victory, delivering an all-around impressive team performance that bodes well for the rest of the season.
