Story Written By: Damon Cook @ CHSAANow.com

AURORA, Colo. — Wray High School is off to an undefeated 4-0 start headed by coach Levi Kramer. Kramer has been the long-time coach for the Eagles and has them ready for conference play.

Through those four games, Wray has scored 168 points, while allowing just 35. After a tough 28-27 loss in the 1A state semifinals a year ago, the veterans that the Eagles have returned could spark a different outcome this year.
