UT offers 20 scholarships
to same high school
Days before Michigan starts spring practice in
Florida at IMG Academy, Tennessee offered scholarships to 20 football players from the boarding school.
IMG football coach Kevin Wright posted on Twitter
that the Volunteers made an unprecedented move
on Friday. Scholarship offers are non-binding along
with oral commitments recruits make to schools.
Wright listed the 20 players in his tweet. Thirteen
are in the class of 2017, including Josh Kaindoh, a
defensive lineman considered one of the best recruits
in the country. Six are juniors and one, offensive lineman EJ Ndoma Ogar, is in the class of 2019.
IMGs campus is in Bradenton, Florida, but it
draws top players for all over the country and plays a
national schedule.

PREP ROUNDUP
Division 3
G-E-T 47, Arcadia 33
GALESVILLE After a lethargic
first half from both teams, the secondseeded Red Hawks (19-4) were able to
open the game up going 5-for-8 from
three point range to put away the Raiders (8-16).
Freshman Lexi Wagner scored a
game-high 17 points, while senior Madison Doerr added 10 for the Red Hawks.
Annika Anderson and Abbey Zastrow
led the seventh-seeded Raiders with 17
points combined.
G-E-T hosts third-seeded Bloomer at
7p.m. today in the regional final.
Cochrane-Fountain Citys Melani Skroch (15) puts up a shot during a WIAA Division 4 playoff
game against Onalaska Luther on Friday in Fountain City.
BIG NINE
Winona 55, Austin 44
AUSTIN Danneka Voegeli had 13
points and the fifth-ranked Winhawks
picked up a solid win on the road to
close the regular season.
It was a great team win on the road
in a really tough environment, WSHS
coach Tim Gleason said. It was loud in
there. But we showed good composure
throughout the second half.
The Packers (14-11, 12-10) got to
within seven at 45-38 on a 3-pointer
by Shayley Vesel with 6 minutes to play,
but Winona (20-6, 16-6) finished strong
defensively.
They present some challenges.
Ruth is 6-3 in the middle. Shes really
long. It presents some challenges not
only for our defense, but our offense. I
was really impressed with the way we
handled that.
Jayne Emerson stuffed the stat
sheed with eight points, nine rebounds
and six assists. Hallee Hoeppner had 12
points and five assists.
The Winhawks, who won 20 games
in a season for the first time in school
history, will make their case for a No. 1
seed in this mornings seeding meeting.
Winona and second-ranked KassonMantorville (25-2), a team the Winhawks beat 61-59 at the Lewiston Auto
Holiday Tournament at Winona State,
are the candidates for the top seed.
From B1
Earlier in the day, Pomeroy, making his first trip to the state tournament, was pinned by Mahtomedis
Devin Fitzpatrick (40-1), the states
second-ranked wrestler, in 2 minutes,
44 seconds. Pomeroy ended his season 33-10.
In Class A, St. Charles placed two
wrestlers into todays semifinals.
Mark Buringa (40-0), the No. 2
wrestler at 113 pounds and a fifthplace finisher as an eighth-grader
last year at 106, pinned both of his
opponents Friday. He stuck Minneotas Avery Vanoverbeke in 1:35,
then pinned Jake Anders of Pierz in
3:09.
Hell face another undefeated
wrestler in Jace Greving (39-0) of Deer
River in the semifinals. Top-ranked
Ethan Cota (44-1) of Kenyon-Wanamingo awaits on the other side of the
bracket if he gets past Hunter Burnett
(39-0) of Pipestone.
Lane Heim advanced to the 145pound semifinals with a couple of

WASHINGTON After
finishing a four-game
homestand with a third
victory Friday night, the
Washington Capitals said
they havent been as good
as recent results suggest.
Dmitry Orlov scored
w i t h 5 : 0 4 re m a i n i n g
after Alex
Ove c h k i n
got a tying
goa l ea rlier in the
p e r i o d to
help Washington close
the homestand with a
Kuemper
3-2 comeback win
over the Minnesota Wild.
The NHL-leading Capitals won despite another
slow start, and they think
their 17-point lead over
their nearest conference
rival is providing a motivational challenge.
Its human nature,
when you know youre
in a good spot and you
dont need to push it, said
Ovechkin, who scored his
league-best 40th goal.
But as soon as they score
one goal or two goals, its
OK, we have to wake up
and play our game.
Brooks Orpik also
scored, and Braden Holtby
made 30 stops for Washington after he was pulled
early in the second period
of a loss Wednesday night
to Montreal.
If not for their late rally,
the Capitals wouldve suffered consecutive defeats in
regulation for the first time
this season. As it was, all
four games of this homestand were decided by one
goal, and the visitors scored
WOLNER
of third place.
The Wolner brothers will
be joined at state by senior
Derrick Prenot, who scored
a 423.65 and finished third.
Hes heading back to state
for the third straight season.
There were highlights
beyond the state qualifiers, such as junior Yousef
Almatrok dropping time in
his two events, Riley Jorgenson finishing fifth in
the 500 freestyle and strong
contributions from eighthgraders Herczeg and Tanner
Lozenski, among others.
I cant wait to come
back here with these guys
next year, Mayer said. Im
already looking forward to
it.
