There might be more to come on Sunday in South West Victorian Football Association round three.
Wolves have a massive weekend of soccer coming up with most teams playing at the club's Harris Street Reserve home.
The undefeated under 16s take on the Portland Panthers.
Howe, 15, said teamwork had been the Wolves' strength so far this season.
He said "just kicking around with mates" was what he missed about the soccer during the coronavirus pandemic-enforced break in 2020.
The first-year skipper, who has been playing soccer for four years, said his favourite position was right-wing.
The under 14s look forward to a battle with Stawell Pioneers.
Hasell, 14, alternates between goal keeper and centre-midfield.
He explained his side was also unbeaten.
"The first game was very close, the score was 4-3, the second game was good too," he said.
Hasell enjoys the friendships that come with soccer and missed the sport last year.
"I did, it was pretty boring just staying inside since we couldn't go out," he said.
Boyle's under 12 yellow side is also taking on Stawell Pioneers.
The team is yet to taste victory but the skipper said they've had a great time getting back on the pitch.
"It was good because we all missed a year or so of sport because of COVID," Boyle said.
"It was just fun kicking the ball around with my mates."
Boyle, who has been playing soccer for three years, plays striker or midfield.
Unlike the three other sides, the under 12 Wolves black team, will play at Scotts Creek on Sunday.
The group has one win and one loss to start the season.
Chuck, who also plays as a striker or midfielder, has been playing the sport for two years.
He managed to kick four goals in the side's 7-0 round two triumph over Portland Panthers.
He said the people were what made the club great.
