Looking at local sports, first of all, today in Voice Basketball, Luther over Westby,
84-63. Small dusting of games today, as the boys basketball tournament is going to wrap
up right around the corner, they'll wrap up the seating tomorrow. That is in WIAA Girls
Basketball begins on Tuesday night across the state, the boys basketball tournament,
the following Tuesday night. Today it was team sectional wrestling across the state
of Wisconsin. Bill Twining has more about the tournament at Cashton.
The area WIAA Division III boys team sectional wrestling tournament was held Saturday at
Cashton. Six teams were involved. The top six finishers at the Brookwood sectional
from the previous week. Top two seeds Aquinas and Landcaster received buys. There were two
matches wrestled. Prairie D'Shean took on Riverdale and Iowa Grant Highland, basketball
was Eco-Stuven. Here's how things went in the first match in the quarterfinals Prairie
D'Shean was a 46-29 winner over Riverdale. The black hawks benefiting from three pins and
two technical falls and accepted three forfits from a short-handed Riverdale team, which
was without state tournament qualifier Lakota Brewer, who was nursing an injury.
Chieftains who were able to pick up wins on the mat were Wyatt Schram, a technical fall
at one-hundred-six pounds. Both Hunter Wilkinson and Brody Meece scored falls for the Chieftains,
who also benefited from a pair of forfits. James Schram at one-hundred-thirteen pounds
and Grant Matthews at 285, but not enough for Riverdale, bowing out into quarterfinals
at the team sectional 46-29 at the hands of Prairie D'Shean. In the other quarterfinal
that was wrestled, it was Iowa Grant Highland posting a 63 to 16 win over basketball
was Eco-Stuven. Basketball was Eco-Stuven only to win three way classes, benefiting from
pins from Junior Ashton Yudelhoeven and Senior Job-Wetter and also a major decision from
freshman Canaan-Wetter, but Moscow-Bell-Wazika-Stuven falls to Iowa Grant Highland 63 to 16. That
moved both Prairie D'Shean and Iowa Grant Highland into the semi-finals against Aquinas
and Landcaster respectively. The Prairie D'Shean Aquinas match was no match from the beginning.
Aquinas scored an 82 to nothing win over Prairie D'Shean for the winning blue goals of Aquinas
eight pins, a major decision and accepted five forfits from Prairie D'Shean, which was defeated
in the semi-finals 82 to nothing. In the other semi-final, this one went down to the wire and was one
and the very last match by Iowa Grant Highland 41 to 38. Iowa Grant Highland went into that final
bout at 157 pounds with a six-point lead over Landcaster 41 to 35 and even though Junior
Traten-McLiamonds of the flying arrows posted a victory 11-9, it wasn't enough for Landcaster
and Iowa Grant Highland posted a 41 to 38 win. The dual meet began at 165 pounds with a pin from
defending state champion Jackson Bussey of Iowa Grant Highland. Brock Hinderman scored a
technical fall for the winners. Griffin Wineske was a pin winner, also scoring falls for Iowa
Grant Highland Wyatt Hoffman, freshman Oliver Christensen, Hayden Altman and Max Kelly to lead Iowa
Grant Highland to a 41 38 semi-final win over Landcaster. Landcaster bounced back to beat Prairie
D'Shean for third place, but in the championship match, it was Aquinas prevailing 47 to 30 over
Iowa Grant Highland and winning the team's sectional championship at Cashton on Saturday Aquinas
taking first picking up individual victories for Iowa Grant Highland in the championship loss
where Brock Hinderman, a junior at 175 pounds scoring a fall, sophomore Griffin Wineske, also with
the first period pin, freshman Wyatt Hoffman scored a fall and that brought Iowa Grant Highland
to within closing distance. They trailed 35 to 18, but needed to win the final four weight classes
to do so. We're unable to do that. Aquinas posted wins at 144 and 150 pounds to put the dual away
and then forfeited to Brian Yeleneck and Jackson bussy of Iowa Grant Highland with the win
under their belt. The Aquinas bluecolds win the team's sectional championship Saturday at Cashton.
Iowa Grant Highland takes second by virtue of a previous win over Landcaster and Aquinas now
goes to the state team tournament. The first weekend in March, Iowa Grant Highland will wait and see
if they might draw that at large birth for a team that qualifies for state that is not a team
sectional champion. We'll see what happens. Reporting for WRSTO Sports and David Wormand, I'm Bill
Twining. Thanks Bill. Well, number 24 Wisconsin takes on the Iowa Hawkeyes after Braden
Carrickins scored 20 points in Wisconsin's 86 69 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes. Sunday's
matchup is the first of the season between the squads. Wisconsin is 10 and 5 against the big 10

Michigan is the number one overall seed in the preliminary rankings by the committee that will
select the 68 team men's field for the NCAA tournament. The Wolverines were joined by Duke,
Arizona and Iowa State as the number one seeds in the reveal show on CBS. The cyclones got the last
number one seed ahead of Yukon and Houston. Saturday's reveal is a snapshot of where things stand
with less than a month left until selection Sunday. Generally, the teams listed above the cut line
for a top four regional seed stay there. Selection Sunday is March 15th. The final four is in Indian
apolis. Today, Minnesota defeated Rutgers by a score of 80 to 61. Ryan Rollins made a career high
7-3 pointers and scored 27 to help the Milwaukee Bucks beat the New Orleans Pelicans 139-1 18 last night
for their third straight victory and sixth in seven games. Jordan Stolls has missed out on his
chance to become the first man since 1994 to collect three gold medals in long track speed skating at
one Olympics. He finished fourth in the mass start today behind 40-year-old champion,
Jorat Bergsma of Netherlands. Bergsma is the oldest man to win a speed skating gold and he adds
that to his bronze in the 10,000 meters earlier at the games. The gold and the women's mass start,
the last speed skating event at these Olympics also went to a Dutch skater. The United States and
Canada facing off in the gold medal game in Men's Hockey on the final day of the Milan Olympics.
Eileen Goo is chasing her first gold of the 2026 games in the rescheduled women's Olympic free ski
half pipe final as well. And Bill Nasrowski, the Hall of Fame second baseman, who won eight gold
glove awards for his steady work in the field and the hearts of countless Pittsburgh Pirates fans
for historic walkoff home run in game seven of the 1960 World Series has died of the age of 89.
The Pirates announced his death today. Pirates owner Bob Nunning says Masrowski who died on Friday
was one of a kind, a true Pirates legend. The Pirates retired Masrowski's number nine in 1987.
The club had a statue of him erected on Bill Masrowski Way in 2010.
