A boys basket ball note for tonight the Riverdale and Kikapoo boys basketball game has
been moved to tomorrow night.
There is a scheduling conflict so they moved to Riverdale Kikapoo boys game to Tuesday night.
JV will start tomorrow at four thirty and varsity will follow.
Some boys games tonight elsewhere Iowa Grant is at Ithaca.
It is senior night for the Ithaca seniors and boys basketball.
LaFarge is at Hillsboro, Austin at Royal, Scholesburg at Castville.
Southwestern travels to Patosi, Wisconsin del Zatloadai, Lancaster at Mineral Point,
Cuba City visits Plattville, Wisconsin Heights at Bellville and Boscowbell at River Ridge.
In girls basketball Riverdale with a good close matchup, a non-conference game tonight
at Highland, its Boscowbell playing at River Ridge and Cuba City at Plattville, plus
Barnabelle travels to River Valley.
Should be good matchup.
We'll have it on the radio tonight beginning with a free game time sponsored by Vittesnik
Power Sports around seven fifteen River Valley girls coach Joe Woodhouse.
Talk to us recently about the possibility of a shot clock coming in to Wisconsin, basketball
and his thoughts.
I like the concept of teams that you get up to eight points and stuff like that.
I feel like some teams will just pull it out and really stop playing basketball and stuff
like that.
You know, press your head and watch, especially at the state tournament and the playoffs
and things like that.
I know you're playing to the win and stuff like that, but I feel like it just flows down
the game and solves it all and things like that where you want to keep playing basketball
on.
I think it definitely be a learning curve for a lot of teams in Wisconsin, but I think
a lot of the neighboring states.
I know Iowa's got it.
I think Minnesota's getting it and things like that, so I think it's kind of an inevitable
thing too that we're going to end up having it and I think it just makes a little faster
pace game and you can't just have those pull out deductions that makes the offense work
to attack and get a good look and then also, you know, defensively getting teams
to play deep on two and not just pack it in and a two three zone and hopefully we can
clean up the game and make it a better game for the girls to develop their skills and
also the fans to watch and things like that.
River Valley Girls Coach Joe Woodhouse is team hosting Bartaveld this evening.
Youth bowling scores from over the weekend.
On Saturday, the girls high series, Jocelyn Adams, with a 538, Abby Weagle rolled a 307.
Jocelyn Adams, with a 195 game, Abby Weagle, a 114.

A fourth quarter collapsed caused the buck, so 132, 119 lost Sunday night.
The Memphis Grizzlies outscored Milwaukee 39-20 in that period.
Yada Sounta de Cumpo led an unusually ball and scoring attack with 30 points, while
six bucks finished in double figures.
Milwaukee's record falls to 26 and 21.
The team travels to Oklahoma City for a tough battle on the road scheduled for tonight.
Dame Lillard says, you can't turn the ball over.
When you get down the stretch of games, in a close game, you gotta take care of the ball.
You know it's important to make sure that we get a shot on every possession, and if you
want to win a game and we can't have turnovers down the stretch of a game.
And Dame says the Grizzlies are a young, fast, upstart team.
They're a young team and an active team, they play hard, they got a lot of depth, so they're
constantly bringing in different bodies and they all come in with that same energy.
You know, they fly around, they crash the glass, they play fast, they play a disrupt
of game, you know, in a physical game.
And you know, to beat a team like this, you got to match that energy, you know, you got
to meet them where they are.
And you know, we gave up a lot of extra opportunities.
The box play at Oklahoma City tonight, that is a seven o'clock tip off time.
Elsewhere it was Detroit over the Chicago Bulls, 127, 119, Cleveland, 144, and Dallas,
101, to round to 115, the Clippers, 108, and Boston, 118, Philadelphia, 110.
College basketball yesterday in Nebraska, knocked off number 16 rated Oregon, 77, 71,
number 18 Illinois, overall, Ohio State, a bicycle of 87, 279, Marquette was knocked
off by Yukon Saturday at home, 77, 69, the Golden Eagle shot, only 32% against the two
time defending national champions.
Senior guard Cam Jones led the offense with 22 points and Chase Ross at 19, Marquette
trailed 42, 29 at half time.
So when they got hot in the second half, they were too far back to catch up.
A crowd of 18,129 set a fice or forum record for the program.
The Eagles play St. John's on the road on Tuesday.
The badger men's team got hot from the outside, outside the three point line, especially
coming from nine points down to beat Northwestern Saturday, 75, 69.
John Tanjay was Wisconsin's top scorer with 27 points.
All of Carter Gilmore's career high 15 points came in the second half.
The badgers trailed by nine at 44, 35 with 14 minutes, 40 seconds remaining by the 3, 33
mark.
They were up 71, 60 Wisconsin, host Indiana coming up on Tuesday night.
Elsewhere in sport news from over the weekend, news from the Brewers.
We haven't heard a lot of Brewer news in the off season, especially not lately.
And certainly Milwaukee looking at the start of the season as all teams are for pictures
and catchers reporting in just a little bit, just about a week or so.
The Brewers catcher William Contreras agreed to a one year contract guaranteeing $6.1
million avoiding an arbitration hearing.
A two time all star Contreras had asked for $6.5 million and had been offered $5.6 million
when proposed figures were exchanged.
His deal with the reigning nationally central champions includes a team option for 2026.
Contreras now 27, battered 281 with a 365 on base percentage, 23 homers and 92 RBI's in
155 games last year and was an all star for the second time in three seasons.
He hit 289 in 2023 with a 367 on base percentage, 17 homeruns and 78 RBI's.
And a move that could hit both the linebacking core and the running backs room.
The packers need to replace assistant coach Anthony Caponelli.
He's taken a job as defensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
He's been given a lot of credit for the development of rookie linebacker Ezra and Cooper.
And the Green Bay rushing attack was one of the most effective in the NFL during the
2020 season.
This will be Caponelli's first defensive coordinator position at the professional level.

Here's Filney with a look at local sports for tonight.
Boys, basketball games in the area tonight. Cuba City is at Plattville. Iowa Grant at
Ithaca. The bulldogs are hosting Senior Night. LaFarge at Hillsboro, Austin at Royal,
Sholesburg at Castville. Southwestern at Potosi, Wisconsin delves visits Lodi, landcaster
at Mineral Point, Cuba City at Plattville. Wisconsin Heights at Bellville, Bosca Bell
at River Ridge. In Grossbast, Cabal Riverdale at Highland, Bosca Bell at River Ridge, Cuba
City is at Plattville and Barnabyville at River Valley. Well, the game a little bit later
around tonight on WRC, beginning with the Viteznik Power Sports pregame show, around
715. Joe Woodhouse at Coach at River Valley was asked recently about the possibility of
bringing the shot clock into girls basketball in the state of Wisconsin.
I like the concept of, I don't know, teams that you get up six, eight points and stuff
like that. I feel like some teams will just pull it out and really stop playing basketball
and stuff like that. And that's, you know, frustrating to watch, especially at the state
tournament and the playoffs and things like that. I know you're playing to the win and stuff
like that, but I feel like it's just closed down the game and solved it all and things
like that where you want to keep playing basketball. And I think it definitely be a learning curve
for a lot of teams in Wisconsin, but I think a lot of the neighboring states. I know I always
got it. I think Minnesota's getting it and things like that. So I think it's kind of an
inevitable thing too that we're going to end up having it. And I think it just makes a
little faster pace game and you can't just have those pull-out suggestions that makes the
offense work to attack and get a good book. And then also, you know, defensively,
getting teams to play deep on two and not just tack it in and a two-three zone. And
hopefully we can clean up the game and make it a better game for the girls to develop their skills
and also the fans to watch and things like that. That's River Valley girls basketball coach Joe
Woodhouse. I'm Philney for WRCO Sports. A fourth quarter claps cost the bucks a 132-119 loss
last night. The Memphis Grizzlies outscored Milwaukee 39-20 in that period. Yannisantut Kupo
led an unusually balanced scoring attack with 30 points while six bucks finished in double figures.
Milwaukee's record falls to 26 and 21. The team travels to Oklahoma City for a tough
tough battle on the road scheduled for tonight. Yannisantut Kupo, Damian, Lillard and Chris
Middleton won't be available for tonight's game against Oklahoma City because the bucks second
bucks second game in two days. The bucks are beginning a three-game trip on one night after
losing 132-119 at home to Memphis. After Kupo was dealing with Wright Patela Tindy and Mopathy,
Lillard has a sore left groin and the bucks are monitoring Middleton's work load as he comes
back from offseason surgery to each of his ankles. And to Kupo and to Kupo I should say Lillard
and Middleton played Sunday against the Grizzlies. The list of the NBA players who might get
traded before this 3pm or Eastern deadline on Thursday is a long one. According to Milwaukee
Star and Yannisantut Kupo, it includes basically everybody. After this weekend, he might be right.
Luca Donsick is now with the Los Angeles Lakers and Anthony Davis is now with the Dallas
Mavericks. It's the first time that the two rating all NBA players were traded for one another
in a season. That move overshadowed another one that sent DeBaron Fox from Sacramento to San
Antonio where he will play with Victor Wenbayama. And a move that could hit both the linebacking
core and the running backs room that Packers need to replace assistant coach Anthony Campanille.
He's taken a job as defensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Campanille has been
given a lot of credit for the development of rookie linebacker Edger and Cooper and the Green Bay
rushing attack was one of the most effective in the NFL during the 2024 season. This will be
Campanille's first defensive coordinator position at the professional level. And umpire Pat
Holberg was fired by Major League Baseball for sharing his legal sports gambling accounts with a
friend who bet on baseball games and for intentionally deleting electronic messages pertinent to
the lease investigation. MLB opened the investigation last February when it was brought to its
attention by the sports book and Holberg did not umpire last season. While MLB says the investigation
did not uncover evidence Holberg personally bet on baseball or manipulated games. MLB senior vice
president of on field operations Michael Hill recommended on May 24th that Holberg be fired.
Commissioner Ron Manfred said yes said today he upheld Hill's decision among the highest rated
umpires at judging the strike zone Holberg can apply for reinstatement no early than the 20
earlier than the 2026 spring training. WRCSports has been sponsored by Schwartz Insurance your Wilson
