High School Boys Basketball: Wisconsin Dells at River Valley

there are games scheduled for tonight. We'll read the list. There are a few that probably

won't be played with schools, not in session because of the weather, but we'll let you

know about that later today. I think I slated to go to Brookwood in boys and girls basket

ball. Girls basket all Riverdale and one Ewoks Center, North Crawford Atlanta and Caster,

Kikapoo Black Hawk, Verokwed Westby, Highland at Belmont, Iowa Grant visits Dodgeville,

Darling, Tenet, New Glarris, Potosi Castle at River Ridge, Sock Prairie at Mineral Point,

and Edgewood got the win against Redsburg, 7647. There was plenty of wrestling tournament action

going on at Weston Schools on Saturday. Bill Twining was there. The annual Ithaca Weston

invitational wrestling tournament was held Saturday at Weston High School. Weathering the absence

of Richland Settlers wrestlers, there were 10 teams that competed despite the inclement weather

and the tourney ran smoothly. For the second year in a row, the Holman Varsity reserves took

the team title, bolstered by five individual champions. Holman totaled 301 and a half points

while Sock Prairie Wisconsin Heights in its first appearance at the Ithaca Weston invitational

was a distance second with 213 and Verona was third with 202. The Riverdale Chieftains wrote

on the shoulders of four champions and took fourth place as a team with 182 points and host

Ithaca Weston place fifth with 130 and a half. Rounding out the scoring were Oosterberg,

Parkview Albany, Rhinelander, River Ridge, and Blair Taylor.

Riverdale's four champions were led by two-time titleist Brody Mies and Grant Matthews, both seniors.

Also winning titles for the Chieftains were junior Lakota Brewer at 150 pounds

and sophomore Wyatt Schram at 106. Sockmore James Schram placed third at 113 pounds

while three teammates all juniors placed fifth, Grant Sturdyvent, Colton Perrin, and Wilhelm

Buchholz. Ithaca Weston was led by junior Blake Bingham who swept the competition

and won the title at 138 pounds. Senior Derek Franson reached the finals and placed second at 144

while freshman Braxton Fowl was third at 157, freshman Spencer Nelson fourth at 175,

and two teammates placed fifth, Karek Thompson at 113, and senior Ashton Bennett at 150.

Four individuals were repeat winners at the Ithaca Weston Invitational on Saturday, Brody Mies

and Grant Matthews at Riverdale, senior Liam Richards of Oosterberg, and sophomore Rex

Landcaster of the Holman Varsity Reserves. Brody Mies was a 16 to four major decision winner over

Derek Franson of Ithaca Weston in the final at 144, and Grant Matthews scored a technical fall

over Ethan McIntosh of Verona at 285. For Ithaca Weston, Blake Bingham scored a fall in the final

at 138, his fourth pin of the tournament. Other champions Saturday included Brian Brian

of Suck Prairie Wisconsin Heights, Brennan Oth and Jackson Goonsler Soda of Verona,

and the Holman Varsity Reserves 5, Brendan Henderson, Rex Landcaster, Brock Needham,

Olly Strosser, and AJ Allish. Other notes from the Ithaca Weston Invitational on Saturday saw

a fourth place finish from Holman Freshman Owen Lambries, the son of Richland Setter

recent Hall of Honor wrestling inductee Justin Lambries, a runner-up effort from Ethan McIntosh

of Verona, the son of UW Athletic Director Chris McIntosh, and a championship effort from junior

Brennan Oth of Verona, the son of two-time state champion Jason Oth of Royal High School.

A highlight of the day came just before the placement matches when five individuals were

inducted into the Ithaca Weston Wrestling Hall of Fame. They included Wayne Osborne, Richard

Walt Smith, Jim Chappell, Gary Anderson, and Mike Dre. Wayne Osborne was responsible for getting

the wrestling program started at Weston High School in 1960. Richard Walt Smith started the Ithaca

Wrestling program in 1963 and served as the school's first wrestling coach. Jim Chappell

coached Weston Wrestling for five years, 1964 to 1969. Gary Anderson posted a career wrestling

record of 60, 20 and one before graduating from Ithaca and then wrestling at the UW Richland.

And Mike Dre was a two-time state runner-up for Weston in 1989 and 1990,

putting together a career record of 72 and 14 wrestling for the silver Eagles.

The Packers have reportedly reached an agreement on a multi-year extension with head coach Matt

LaFlor. Details of the deal have not been released. CBS Sports reported that there have been

questions about the coach's future after the collapse against the Bears. Those have been answered.

LaFlor calls his situation in Green Bay one of one saying it's a very unique situation.

There was plenty of football drama and action over the weekend. First of all, Matthew Stafford

and the Rams survived an incredible throw by Caleb Williams that forced over time,

beating a Chicago Bears 20 to 17 to advance to the NFC championship game.

Harrison Mevis kicked a 42-yard field goal in overtime after Cam Curle intercepted a deep pass

by Williams on the Bears' first possession of the extra period. Stafford completed a 16-yard pass

to Puka Nakua to get the Rams into field goal range and set up Mevis. The Rams will visit NFC

West rival Seattle, coming up Sunday in their first trip to the conference championship game

since 2021 when they won the Super Bowl. Drake May threw three touchdown passes. Marcus Jones

returned one of CJ Stroud's four-hitterceptions for a touchdown and the Patriots defeated the

Texans 28-16 to advance to the NFC championship game for the first time in seven years. They will

play at Denver, coming up Sunday. Their last NFC title game trip was during their run to their

sixth Super Bowl title in the 2018 season. May had finished 16 of 27 were 179 yards.

The Big Ten conference has had a chance to have a third consecutive national championship

in college football when top-rated Indiana squares off with tent ranked Miami in Miami.

The Hoosiers are a perfect 15-0 on the season after securing blowout wins over Alabama and Oregon

in the Rose and Peach Bulls to advance to tonight's championship contest. This is Indiana's first

title game appearance in program history. The underdog Hurricanes silenced Texas A&M upset last

years defending champion Ohio State and came back to edge Ole Miss in one of the hardest college

football playoff paths to date. Miami is playing for its sixth national title. Kickoff time is set for

630 this evening. The Badgers had a nice win over the weekend. Guard Nick Boyd led Wisconsin

to a high scoring win over Rutgers Saturday by pouring in 32 points. The Badgers have won four

games in a row. Boyd's three pointer and two free throws help Wisconsin build a 14-point lead

with three minutes left in the game. He also had nine assists. The Badgers are off until Thursday

when they travel to Penn State. A pair of struggling teams meet today in the NBA during Martin Luther

King's junior day. In Atlanta, the Hoax have lost three straight games. The visiting bucks have dropped

four out of five. There was a brief surge when Yana sounded a cumpo return to the lineup,

but the team has not only been losing lately, but it's been losing big. Atlanta is reportedly playing

without three significant players. That tip off time noon today, and I'm Phil Ney with an update

on sports.
