Dave Darling and Chris Klurken, who are assistant coaches for the Hornets, are on staff for Saturday's game.
Coach Troxel is looking forward to the game.
What will be really neat about this is this will be probably the largest crowd any of these kids have ever played in front of you know and so the WFCA wants to make sure that there's a lot of representation and again a lot of the proceeds that come out of that go towards Children's Wisconsin as well.
So tickets should be available at the door.
I think we may have a handful of free tickets you know still left so if anybody's interested just reach out to
to us or to me and we'll see what we can do.
But we would love to have a lot of, you know, Southwest Wisconsin SWC and especially Richland center representation at this all start game.
Do you know if this is broadcast televised or anything anywhere?
Yep, it'll be broadcast.
I haven't got the link yet.
I believe it's from Salinsky sports.
They're probably big in Northern Wisconsin.
And so we'll have that link and we'll share it out on a lot of platforms that we can so people can watch from afar.
So good opportunity, right?
If you can't make the trip or the heat's too much.
you know, sit in your air conditioned living room right and watch these guys go out and battle and, and really defend the South as they take down the North.
Brady Dosh and Liam Fingerson are gearing up for the game and also looking forward to the challenge.
Looking forward to meeting the new group of guys that I've never been around in my life, you know, and then seeing them stands packed.
That's going to be special to me.
What about you, Liam?
I'm looking forward to just working hard again.
get a chance to go ahead guys get some pancakes and hopefully

There was one game yesterday in terms of sports and the MLB level, but most teams will be taking to the field today.
And that includes the Brewers as the Brewers return to action today to host the Miami Marlins to begin the second half of the season.
They are five games in the lead in the National League Central, and their game tonight against the Marlins will have a 640 first pitch time, which you can hear on WRCE AM 1450 FM 107.7.
Also speaking of the Brewers, Major League Baseball has released the 2027 regular season schedule, assuming.
Players aren't locked out by then.
The Brewers would begin the season at home against the LA Angels.
After the series, the Atlanta Braves would visit.
Then Milwaukee would depart on a six game road trip, according to brewerfanatic.com.
Next season would open with an April 24th single game between the San Francisco Giants and the New York Yankees.
That's the earliest opening date in league history.
Recruiting efforts by the Wisconsin football coaches have earned a commitment from four-star linebacker prospect, Hale Britt.
24-7 Sports reports that Britt is the first commitment for the recruiting class of 2028.
He was offered a scholarship during an April visit to Madison.
Following that, he made recruiting stops at Notre Dame, Alabama, and Virginia Tech.

Why wait?
NFL front office executive scouts and coaches say Packer linebacker Edrian Cooper is among the top 10 players at his position.
ESPN reports that Cooper checks in at number nine.
The third year backer has produced 205 total tackles, 17 tackles for loss, 10 quarterback hits, eight pass breakups, three forced fumbles, and an interception in his first 30 games.
At least one NFL defensive coach points to his size, speed, and run in hitability, saying few players can match his ability.
Cooper's just 24 years old.
The NBA is going to investigate the four-year $64 million contract extension the Bucks have signed with veteran guard Gary Trent Jr.
Trent is coming off the worst season of his career.
An expert say he normally would have signed a minimum of or a near minimum deal.
CBS Sports reports accusations that the money is payback for the players last two contracts that were well below normal.
Milwaukee's never been penalized for circumventing NBA cap rules, but it has four violations of free agency rules.
For WRCO Sports, I'm Bo Henrichs.
