Wilhour Welcomes “The Pride of Clay County” to State Capitol

“I was honored to welcome Coach Brian Tackitt, his coaching staff, players, and cheerleaders! keep up the great effort and reaching for the top! This team has been the pride of Clay County this past year as they have driven excitement, hometown pride, sportsmanship, and even charity at their games.

After 112 years of Flora Wolves Football, the 2025 team is the first in school history to win a playoff game, taking it a step further and making it into the IHSA Elite 8.  

The wolves finished this season with a record of 10-2, and, undoubtedly, they have now set the standard for what every team after them will aspire to become.

I am honored to welcome Head Coach Brian Tackitt, his coaching staff, the football players and cheerleaders of the Flora Football Elite 8 team to their capitol this morning. 

Go Wolves!
