High School Boys Basketball: Richland Center at River Valley

I am Phil Ney with WRC Osports tonight boys basketball action in the area Richland Center will be at River Valley

It's a rematch for the teams after the Hornets won on a close one earlier this season. Here's coach Brian Pulse

We were able to make some plays in those last few minutes and pull out that victory

So we know they're going to be ready for us. They're actually playing really good basketball. They gave Lancaster a really tough game

Last week themselves. So it's going to be a quick turnaround

You know, like I mentioned before we have just that one practice in between so it's hard to get your scouting in and you don't want to overwhelm

Our guys with too much information, but it's getting right back at it and we're looking forward to going on the road and and head of the Valley

Luke Fatcher recently spoke to me about how his team got a win against

Plattville in conference play really putting a priority on blocking off correctly, you know, creating contact before we go to the basketball just with our

smaller size than a lot of teams and you know, they brought a great intensity against Plattville and

Anytime you can combine the effort the attitudes. It's it's going to work in your favor

And there is wrestling action tonight. It's the dual night for the conferences of the Ridge and Valley

Scenic Bluffs and Six Rivers. Here is Coach Troy Clary of Ithaca, Weston

matches during one day. It starts at 4.45 at Blanchardville. Yeah, that'll keep you busy a lot of

duels. It'll be a late night. I'm sure too on it. Yeah, late night and a lot of travel.

Try to keep the kids with the bus ride. Kind of got to get them ready as soon as we get there and

try to relax a little bit and just get ready to wrestle. And then it's all good.

Kind of a prerequisite for the postseason. It's hard to believe that February is right around the

corner, isn't it? Yeah, winter really flies by. You know, the kids are always busy doing practices

and events and the holidays. It just needs a couple of months just really flying.

The dual night tonight for the Ridge and Valley Six Rivers and Scenic Bluffs teams.

And then they will have their conference individual meet coming up next Saturday, February 7th.

That will be hosted by North Crawford bowling scores from the merchants bowling league.

An incredible comeback for the Badger men's basketball team last night. They managed to eradicate

a 20 point deficit while winning the latest border battle 67 63 a three pointer in the closing

seconds of the first half and given Minnesota a 35 15 edge the entire second half belong to

Wisconsin though John Blackwell scored a game high 23 Nick Boyd had 21 Blackwell scored the last

seven points of the big 10 game coach Greg guard afterwards talked about what made the difference.

Aggressiveness physicality we had a pulse like so we initiated things better we were on attack

mode better we got to the free throw line you know we didn't play I thought we were just

tougher in all aspects of the game the team continued to work extremely hard as they got the win

in Madison we were more physically engaged we were initiating contact and and hence obviously

on the offensive then we were able to get to the bonus quick and play at the free throw line quite

a bit in the second half but defense let out you know we had more bite to us and what we did

in the in the first half. The Badger's host Ohio State coming up on Saturday also in state last
