And the Holman Varsity Reserves came away with a team championship holding off Oostberg and

the rest of the 12 team field to win the title. Holman Varsity Reserved with 208 and a half points

Oostberg in second with 197. Third to Riverdale with 163 and a half first appearance for the

Chiefs in the tournament. Fourth to Royal Wanywalk Center, a strong finals round,

moves Royal Wanywalk Center in the fourth place with 132 and a half,

106 and Parkview, the defending champion slips to eighth place with 98 points.

Oostberg had four individual titleists, both Holman and Riverdale with three,

Parkview with two, Richland Center and Verona with one a piece. Richland Center's

low and champion was the tournament's most valuable wrestler, Ethan Hady. The senior takes his

second title here at Ithaca Weston with a victory in overtime over medium of the Holman Varsity

Reserves who finished actually ahead of him at the by state, although they did not meet.

Hady beats Needham in the finals and wins the most valuable trophy in the process. Here's how

things went by team. Let's check and see how the area teams did. First of all, for

Oost Ithaca Weston, they had three in the finals, but all fell short. Aston Bennett and 150

pounds. Nolan Walder at 165 and Caden Coleman at 215, all placed second for Ithaca Weston.

Also, Karek Thompson was a runner-up for the co-op, Brock Ponson finished. Fourth, Deacon McDonnell,

a freshman was fifth at 175 pounds, and fellow freshman Reed Lobshaw was seventh at 190, Ben

Otto also with a seventh place finish at 215. For the Richland Center Hornets leading the way,

the tournament's most valuable wrestler, Ethan Hady. He had four pins along the way and then

that championship win six-three in older time. Also, placing for the Hornets, both Caden Stibi,

a freshman at 113, and Mason Jalenek, a senior at 190, finished third in their wake classes.

Raiden Kloppi, a senior at 285, was fourth, actually had the injury default out of his last match

with a nose bleed, but he finishes fourth at 285, fifth place efforts from Brock Barrett in 132

pounds, and Ethan Bindle at 215, and freshman Blake Muller was sixth at 144. For the Riverdale

Chiefs, they had three champions, Brody Mies, and 138 pounds wins the title there. Jalen Child,

a great addition to the lineup at 190, had five pins, and took the championship in that wake class,

and Grant Matthews with five pins of his own takes the title at 285 pounds, including one in the

championship match. Also, placing for the Chiefs, and Lakota Brewer was runner up at 132 pounds,

James Schram at 106, and Wyatt McGuire at 120, each place third,

Reporting for WR field sports and David Wormand, I'm Bill Dwight.

Thanks Bill. Today, there were a few basketball games in the area. It was Barnaville over Perried

O'Shean, 61-39, and Platteville, the big victory against a tough Edgewood team, the final score,

81-61, Holman over Rochester by the final of 74-65, and Luther 52-43 over Winona Cotter.

John Blackwell scored 28, and number 24 Wisconsin defeated Southern California, 84-69,

to extend its winning streak to seven games. Max Klesmet added 15, and Nolan Winter 15 for the

Badgers, who actually have an average margin of victory of 16.1 points during their win streak.

St. Thomas led the Trojans with 19 points, and Russian Aegee also scored 15 USC,

which had won its last two games, led for only 49 seconds on Saturday. Perried O'Shean

winner over Oregon, final score 65-58 in other college action today. Zach Fremantle had 14 and 10

rebounds, and Xavier hung on in the final seconds to beat number seven Marquette 59-57,

to earn its third straight victory while snapping the Golden Eagles six-game winning streak.

Xavier, now 12 and 7, 4 and 4 in the Big East, never trailed and led by as many as 19,

but needed to make a stop in the final seconds to preserve the victory.

Xavier's Dalin Swayne appeared to knock the ball away, as Marquette's Stevie Mitchell was driving

to the basket before a potential tying shot could be attempted. Yannis Anthony Kubo had 35

points and 12 rebounds to lead the box to a 1-30 to 1-12 victory over the Raptors. Damien

Lillard added 26 and Ada says from Milwaukee, which swept the three game season series from Toronto.

Bobby Portis scored 15 and Chris Middleton 13 in 24 minutes off the bench. Yannis posted his 12th

straight double double, the second longest active streak in the NBA. The New York Jets interviewed

Minnesota Viking defensive coordinator Brian Flores and quarterbacks coach Josh McCowan

and Green Day Packer defensive coordinator Jeff Hathley for their head coaching vacancy.

The trio increased the list to 15 coaching candidates to meet with the Jets. We've also

conducted 15 interviews for their general manager job. Flores filed a federal lawsuit in 2022

against the league, the dolphins, the giants and the Broncos, alleging racist hiring practices

for leadership positions across the NFL. Hathley is coming off his first season running

Green Bay's defense, McCown, a former Jets quarterback who has two years of NFL coaching experience.
