There are lots of events going on this evening, we begin our schedule with wrestling action.
Action for River Valley tonight, they will be hosting boys and girls wrestling matches.
Senior night festivities begin at 635 followed by boys JV and girls matches, then the boys
varsity duel as well as River Valley plays host to Lancaster.
I talked to coach Dan McAvick of River Valley about that event.
Yeah, we have a duel against Lancaster on the 24th and then we're going to wrestle in
Rachel's Center on the 31st of January, so those are our last two duel meets of the
year.
Right now, I think we're sitting 10 and 10 on the year for duel meet record and I know
the kids are very conscious of that, like they want to finish with the winning record.
And so they're definitely doing everything they can to make some tweaks because we did
lose the win, Caster, at SWC duels, but again, some kids didn't make weight, we had some
injuries.
We're still trying to find a way to get Noel Radkin to the lineup, but also not use him
too much to aggravate his previous injury.
So we're still trying to find ways to make it happen to get a full lineup so we can be
somewhat healthy going into the Lancaster duel and then finishing it against Richelm
Setter.

host Fennamore and Iowa Grant Highland in a big SWAL wrestling night and Hillsboro
host Kikabula Farge and Royal Wadiwak Center.

and Richelm Center travels to Dodgeville.
Here's Hornet Boys coach Brian Pulse.
You know, coming into that Lancaster game, you know, the season has always has its ups
and downs.
We were playing some good basketball and then, you know, this wave of illness happened.
We didn't play our best game against Lancaster.
So hopefully this break will help us and another good night of practice.
And then we go through a pretty tough stretch where we have three games in a row.
So a real big stretch in our schedule here and it's going to be a pretty big challenge.
