You know, the girls are out there, they're fighting, they're scrapping, and you know, sometimes
we've had to put girls in positions where, you know, we wouldn't normally, but, you
know, whether it was an injury or an illness, and all we've asked how the girls, they just
keep fighting and adapt, and, you know, something goes wrong, you've got to play the next
play, you can't worry about what just happened, and just continue to move forward as a team
and as a, as a program. So we're excited for what we're seeing and what we're building,
and again, hopefully we'll be able to show that on the court these next two weeks.
Richland Center Girls team host Verokwa this evening, and we'll have the call on WRC OFS
Sports. I'm Philney.
The Milwaukee Bucks dropped 125 to 111 decision to the Golden State Warriors last night,
despite 38 points from Damien Lillard. Milwaukee has lost 8 of its last 10 games. The team
was playing with Alps superstar Janisata Tukupo, who is expected to be sidelined until after
the NBA All-Star game. New Bucks Center Kyle Kuzma scored 21. Milwaukee travels to Minnesota
for a Wednesday night showdown with the Timberwolves.
Milwaukee Bucks general manager John Horst said trading Chris Middleton was the toughest
decision of his career because of everything that three time All-Star has done for the franchise.
Trading Middleton to the Washington Wizards brought fire forward. Kyle Kuzma to Milwaukee
and put the Bucks under the second salary cap apron, giving them the flexibility to make
other moves during the off season. Horst says he believes the moves he made last week
should make Milwaukee more dangerous this season, adding that ownership didn't ask him
to lower the payroll. Badger's Cornerback, Nizier 4 Green, has won an additional year of
college football eligibility in a courtroom. The ruling follows similar decisions in court
affecting other college players. The All-American for Queens Legal Victory represents a major
change in NCAA eligibility guidelines. It establishes a precedent for such cases in the
future. In this week's AP college basketball poll, Wisconsin's two major college basketball
teams are moving in opposite directions. With a couple of wins, the Badgers have jumped
five positions to number 16, only Arizona and Ole Miss improved more. Writing a three-game
losing streak, Marquette has fallen seven positions to number 18. The Golden Eagles were ranked
among the top ten programs for more than two months. Marquette plays tonight at home
against the Paul. Wisconsin doesn't take the court until Saturday at Purdue.
And former All-Star Outfielder Austin Hayes is guaranteed $5 million in his one-year contract
with Cincinnati Reds and can earn $500,000 in performance bonuses for played appearances.
Hayes has a $4 million salary this season as part of a deal announced on January 30.
His agreement includes a $12 million mutual option for 2026 with a $1 million buyout.
Left-hander Wade Miley, who formerly pitched for Milwaukee, who agreed to a minor league contract
on February 4th, would get a $2.5 million salary while in the major leagues.
