I spoke with Richland Center coach Brian Pools about all the festivities going on tonight
around this game with Sock Prairie. So we'll introduce all the different levels.
That'll include our Saturday morning youth programs or kindergartners through third graders,
and then our travel teams for through eighth grade will all be individually introduced
in between the JV and the varsity game, and then we'll have a poster night on top of that,
so after the game our varsity guys will stick around and sign the autographs on the posters,
and it should be a fun night. We've done that last couple of years with our youth,
and it's a really fun night.
Youth night, poster night, and a good game between Sock Prairie and Richland Center coming up
at the RCHS Field House tonight. We'll have a game on FM100.9 and WRCO.com,
beginning with our pre-game time around 715. I am Phil Ne.

Janissante de Cuppo again. And de Cuppo is dealing with yet another leg injury. The 76ers lost

Athletic Director Chris McIntosh confirms that the last few subpar football seasons are
impacting badger ticket sales. PBS Wisconsin reports that McIntosh is pointing out that
Wisconsin has actually but the national trend in recent years was increased revenue and ticket
sales. Last year reversed the UW positive trend. The head of the athletics department says he's
hoping our return to the winning ways of the past will bring fans back to Camp Rental Stadium.
Tickets for the 2026 seasons go on sale this week. Packer's secondary coach Ryan Downard is
following Jeff Hathley to the Miami Dolphins. Finsider.com reports that the development Monday.
Hathley was Green Bay's defensive coordinator, but he is moving south to be a head coach
Downard is going to be the secondary coach for the Dolphins. He had spent the last eight seasons
with the Packers. And Freddie Peralta says he's willing to consider a multi-year contract with the
Mets before reaching free agency, but he wants to get settled in New York first. Mets president
of baseball operations David Sterns expressed a similar sentiment after acquiring Peralta in a
trade with Milwaukee last week saying he would definitely allow the all-star pitcher an adjustment
period before potentially broaching a long-term arrangement. Peralta is due to make $8 million
the season after the Brewers picked up their club option on a deal he signed in 2020. He can
become a free agent following the World Series. WRCO Sports has been sponsored by Lakes Gas
