Ethica improved to eight and three on the season with an 85-40 boys basketball winner

visiting New Lisbon last night. The Bulldogs ran to a 48-27 lead at halftime and got the

Bangor travels to Waniwak Center, Nasida at Hillsboro, New Lisbon at Cashton, Brookwood at Royal.

In the SWAL, Darling Center Mineral Point, Phenomore at Iowa Grant,

Southwestern at Cuba City, and Boscombelle visits Riverdale. Well, that game tonight on WRC

Oredio, pre-game time sponsored by the Technic Power Sports will be around 715 for Coach Larry

Swigham's team. They have played all right lately. We played our most complete game of the year

right before our Christmas break against Iowa Grant. And I'll beat them by 33 points, which was

really impressive. I thought it was going to be a really tight game. Kind of got up early,

and we're able to stain all the way through. Then right after break here, let's see LaFarge,

we played on Thursday night. Definitely a sluggish first half for us. I think the halftime

score was 18 to 8. But we were able to put them away, be on 53, 23. So very happy with that start.

A lot of times long breaks make it a little difficult to get back into the rhythm. So

we've got a really busy week ahead with Boscombe Tuesday and then at Southwestern on Friday.

So that's Coach Larry Swigham Riverdale getting set to host Boscombelle. That's our featured game

this evening from the area. Boys, basketball on the schedule, bearable at Adam's Friendship,

Lancaster at Southwestern, and Evansville visits Dodgeville.

led by John Blackwell and Stephen Crowell Blackwell scored 21 points and Crowell had 17

as the Badgers even their big 10 conference record at 2 and 2 Wisconsin built a lead of 16 points

in the first half before the Scarlet Knights closed within three twice in the second half.

The Badgers will host Minnesota on Friday night coach Greg guard talked about how tough it is

winning on the road as it always is when you come in here and try to come out on the left hand side

it's going to be a rock fight at times. I thought we were showed some grittiness and some toughness

maybe when things didn't flow as smoothly as they can sometimes for us offensively and we had

different guys step up and make plays and you know able to withstand the run at us there in the

second half and and then get separation and put it away. The box have finally taken down a weaker

opponent after rolling over Toronto Monday night 128 104 Milwaukee's lead was as large as 33

at one point. Yannis out to the Cumpo produced his fourth triple double with 11 points 12 rebounds

and 13 assists. Damien Lillard led the scoring column with 25. The box had dropped several recent

games to teams with sub 500 records. Second year NBA sensation Victor Wimbanyama leads the spurs

Christian Watson. The second year pro suffer the serious injury in Sunday's 2422 loss to the

Bears as the team looks ahead to the wildcard round of the NFL playoffs against the Eagles.

Head coach Matt Florettel's reporters he expects quarterbacks Jordan love and Malik Willis

to be ready to go by the weekend. Wide receiver Romeo Dobbs appears to be improving after missing

the Chicago game with an illness. Matt Florett talked about Watson's perils. This is his presence

on the field alone. He's so versatile in his ability to play multiple positions. You can put him

at the X the F the Z. You can move them all over the place. Obviously he's got an element in terms

of his size and speed. That's tough to replicate. There's not many built like him. I hurt for him.

Obviously hurt for our team. But I also just more for him just because I know how much he's put

into this thing. New England's Jared Mayo Jacksonville's Doug Peterson or two NFL coaches out of a

job while Giants coach Brian Dabble is also among those who look like they will be back next fall.

It's the day after the NFL's regular season, which usually means a tough day for coaches as under

achieving teams move quickly to make changes. Camilla ran for two touchdowns and threw for two more

to lead North Dakota state to its record 10th football championship subdivision title.

The bison beat top seeded and previously undefeated Montana state 3532 on Monday night.

Some other defenses have carried the last four teams still in the hunt for the national championship.

If you want offense, look elsewhere this weekend. The defenses with all Americans spread

throughout the lineups are the story of the semis Ohio State Texas Penn State and Notre Dame.

All rank in the top eight nationally in total defense. The buckais and long horns meet in the

cotton bowl on Friday. The knitney lions and fighting Irish play in the orange ball on Saturday.

And I'm Phil knee with sports.
