Valley, Richland Center, and Darlington. A further breakdown in tomorrow morning's sports,

but for now, for WRCO, David Wormand, and Kirk Layer, I'm Bill Twining.

Larry's doing a really nice job, but those guys, he's got a, the McCay girls average

at about 18-19 points a game, and she gets 13 rebounds, and Harris can play pretty well,

she gets about seven, now they have an outside shoot with Kaplan, who's average at about

six points a game, so I mean, they've got some players around, but McCay is the one

that we really have to make sure that we step up and not let her get going because she's

good on the inside, and if you follow, she doesn't miss too many free throws.

How about Basqueville, who are your leaders this year, Eric?

We have some good senior leaders with Addison Rounds and Maya Bowmeister and Aubrey Seat,

and a couple underclassmen that have been playing really well and Kylie Johnson and Avery

Updike. So the nice thing about what we have right now is on any given night, one of

those five girls that I mentioned can be your leading scorer, so we have a little versatility,

it's just getting consistent and staying consistent every night and having at least three of

those girls scoring.

You have the WIA playouts come up right around the bend, and I know you don't see it

like you used to, but certainly winning percentage is key, and what games do you see as key here

in the next few weeks for basketball if you're going to get a decent seed?

Obviously, tomorrow night against Riverdale is going to be a big one for us, and Kickipoo

coming up, they're in our similar division, as well as Southwestern, and then we have

some tough games coming up and conference play against Cubicity, Dallington, and Phenomore,

so those are going to be challenging games for us, but there are some games that are

out there that we have to compete really well with to help us with the overall seed.

So today in basketball news, it was Barnabelle over Prairie Dushin, 66 to 30, the final score,

Galena Overlandcaster, 81-56, Lodi DeFeeded Readsburg by Final Score of 65-48, all boys basketball

scores, girls basketball today, Almond Bancroft over Kickipoo, 64-28, and St. Croix Falls

got the win against Adams' friendship, it was 69 to 55.

Wisconsin's high scoring back court of Nick Boyd and John Blackwell combined for 43 points.

Austin Rap carried the Badgers early with five first half three pointers, and the Badgers

beat Ohio State 92-82 today. Blackwell and Boyd, who have combined for over 38 points

per game, finished with 22 and 21 respectively, while scoring all 19 of his points off the

bench in the first half. Nolan winner finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds for his tenth

double-double this season. Ohio State's own dynamic dual, Bruce Thornton and John Mobley Jr.

averaging over 35 a game, finished with 17 and nine respectively. The buck-eyes fall

to 14 and seven, six and five overall in the conference. Adam Clarks, 19, helped seat

in Hall to beat Marquette, 69-64 today, AJ Stanton McCrary, Alissa had 11 points while

shooting four for nine from beyond the arc. Packer GM Brian Goentakoon, Stead Executive

Vice President, Director of Football Operations, Russ Ball, have joined Coach Matt LaFour in

signing multi-year contract extensions. The extensions come after the Packers went 98-1

and made their third straight playoff appearance and sixth in the last seven years. A 31-27

loss at Chicago in the NFC Wildcard playoff round, capped a five-game skid that ended Green Bay's

season. The bills have hired former Badger player Jim Leonard as their defensive coordinator.

Under new head coach Joe Brady, the 43-year-old Leonard spent the last two seasons with the Denver

Broncos, including last year as the team's assistant head coach and defensive pass game coordinator.
