Ely boys look to climb

They have a little more height, plenty of experience, and some proven scorers.

That could add up to be a winning combination for the Ely Timberwolves. While graduation took mega-scorer Caid Chittum from the high school boys basketball program, the Wolves return one of the region’s best shooters in senior Jack Davies, an all-around threat in senior Drew Johnson and third-year starter Wyatt Tedrick.

Add several others who figure to provide a decent amount of depth, and the Wolves have good reason for optimism heading into the 2025-26 season, which started last night at International Falls.
