I am Filney with a look at WRCO sports West and I think I picked up a girl's basketball
win 51-12 last night over North Crawford. The game was played at Weston High School
and featured the silver Eagles taking advantage of turnovers and jumping out to a 27-10 lead at
half-time. They built the lead gradually in the second half and got the 40-point clock going
with 3-49 left in the game. West and I think I improved a 4-9 on the season with the conference
win. North Crawford fell to 1-13. The silver Eagles were led in scoring by Jr. JC Maxwell,
who netted 15. While senior Brooklyn Dickey added 14, Maley Plymer had 9, Aspen Young total 8,
Jenna Hass, hit a 3-pointer, and Faith Tenichka scored 2. The Bulldogs made 4-3 pointers with
Dickey making 2 of them. Brielle Deckard scored 5 for North Crawford, including the teams
only 3-point basket. Following the 51-12 win, Ithaca will now prepare for a game with Kickapoo

The Badgers built a huge first half lead and then coasted to a 98-71 win over Penn State last night.
Wisconsin went on a 38-9 run to lead 50-22 halfway through the game.
It was the sixth straight defeat for the Knitney Lions,
Braden Carrington and John Blackwell, each scored 17 to lead the offense. The Badgers host USC
coming up on Sunday. Also in basketball news, Marquette tries to pin back-to-back wins down
when it plays at Butler at a Big E's conference game coming up tonight. That's something
the Golden Eagles haven't accomplished since early on in the season. Butler's scoring is led by
Finley Biz Jack, with almost 20 points of game. Also for Marquette, a win for back-to-back knights
would get them back on track as they have struggled for much of the season. Christian McCaffrey is the
only the second player to be a finalist for three AP NFL awards. As far as Josh Allen, Trevor Lawrence,
Drake May and Matthew Stafford, they're all in the running for the AP 2025 NFL most valuable
player award. McCaffrey and May are also finalists for the offensive player of the year award.
New Dolphins head coach Jeff Halfley says he has nothing but love for the friends co-workers and
players he leaves behind. Halfley and Miami General Manager John Eric Sullivan spoke with reporters
at a news conference on Thursday. Even though Halfley has no head coaching experience, Sullivan says
bringing him was a slam dunk. The former Packer defensive coordinator says his two years in Green Bay
were the best of his life so far. He calls Packers head coach Matt LaFleur a great coach and a great
friend.
