WRC Sports has sponsored this evening by Schwartz Insurance here. We'll send mutual insurance

agency and lakes, gas company, a dedicated professional supplier of propane. Filney has

a look at area high school events tonight.

The Richland Center soccer team is at Lodi tonight. Sugar River plays at River Valley.

Platville and Caster at Monroe among the area matches and in high school volleyball.

There's a quad at DeSoto, involving Ithaca DeSoto and Weston and Seneca. Also, it will

be action at Kickaboo LaFarge tonight featuring LaFarge, Youth Initiative, North Crawford,

Wozika Stuban and the host Panthers.

And it's the opening night of the SWAL Mineral Point plays at Southwestern in volleyball,

Darlington at Iowa Grant, Cuba City at Phenomore and Riverdale is at Posca Bell. We'll have

that match later on tonight on the radio. Coach Jesse Kinney at Coach of Riverdale talked

about her team not really having a leader. A lot of players that are capable, she says.

They are pretty deep all across the board. So they've done a really superb job at like

understanding that your night is not every night. Thank goodness we have people in every

position that can come in and take care of jobs when somebody might be off. So I've got

a solid group of four seniors that lead the way to senior setters. But then I mean, we've

got returning Zuri and Kira set last year. And then I've got committee coming back at

Libero and then we've switched up some positioning. So now Macy's not in middle, she's in outside.

But it's nice that we have height. We never, we never used to have that consistently. So

we've got all these kids and these couple of sophomores that are pulled up that are sitting

at 5'10", that are just, they're all sponges right now. So we're pretty deep and I think

it'd be hard to nail down that we really ride on one person's back right now. It's kind

of a really nice balance attack across the whole board for our team. So I'm hoping we

can keep it that way. So it's tough to defend. Riverdale at Bosch and Mel came here tonight

on FM 100.9 and wrco.com. JV action began shortly and varsity will follow on the radio.

I'm Phil Ne for WRC Sports. The Milwaukee Brewers will try to bounce back from a series

loss against lowly Colorado when they play in San Francisco starting tonight. Aaron

Chevelle gets the start for the first game. The Giants had some talented players like

third baseman Matt Chapman who just signed a contract extension despite Chapman's performance

this season. The San Francisco bats are ranked just 18th and the pitching staff has an

ERA of 4.20, a little better than average for Major League Baseball. And you can hear

the first game of that three game series tonight on WRC, 107.7 and AM 1450. First pitch

will be at 8.45 with the pregame starting at around 8.10. Green Bay Packers coach Matt

LeFlurs says the team doesn't plan to put Jordan Love on the injured reserve. That's

an indication that the quarterback could return relatively soon. Love injured his left

medial collateral ligament in the final minutes of the Packers season opening 34 to 29

loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday in Brazil. Love would have needed to miss at least

four games if he went on the injured reserve. LeFlurs says Malik Willis will start Sunday's

game against the Indianapolis Colts if Jordan's not cleared. The MCL injury is expected to

sideline Love for multiple games. Last season's opening 34 or last weeks or the 34 to 29

lost to the Eagles wasn't a good night for the defense. But one rookie stood out. Profit

ball focused reports Edger and Cooper made his mark on the game while playing only 11 snaps.

Cooper had four tackles and one past defense during the short time on the field. He was

limited to because he was still recovering from a groin injury. They gave him the top defensive

grade on the team. P.P.F. F. did and its analyst says Cooper can expect to be a starter soon and

should apply consistent pressure from the edge. Two last lackluster performances in wins over

Western Michigan and South Dakota are the main reasons the undefeated Badgers are to touch

down underdogs against Alabama. The Crimson Tide is ranked number four in this week's college football

poll and Wisconsin isn't in the top 25. UW's air raid offense was expected to put on up bundles

of points behind Miami transfer quarterback Tyler Van Dyke. Instead, he's thrown just one touch

down pass and scored one himself on the ground. By comparison, Alabama's Jalen Miller

was nine has nine scoring passes in his first two games. There is one big factor. The Badgers

will have allowed supportive camp Randall Stadium proud urging them on.
