Katy Bartell, of Eustis, is the newest recruit for the North Platte Community College Knights Volleyball Team.

The 5-foot, five-inch senior has played hitter and setter for the Hi-Line [Eustis-Farnam/Elwood] varsity volleyball team and has also been a hitter, setter and defensive specialist for club teams.

“We are excited to have Katy join our team as she has been a versatile player for her high school and club teams,” said Alexa McCall, NPCC head women’s volleyball coach. “We will look at her primarily as a DS, but her knowledge of all positions will definitely help her. She is quick, which will be an asset to her as well. We would like to welcome Katy to the Knight family.”

More information about the Knights volleyball team is available at&nbsp;<a href="https://npccknights.com/" target="_blank">npccknights.com/</a>.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. --&nbsp;The fourth-ranked Nebraska wrestling team won eight of 10 bouts, scoring bonus points in six matches, to win its fourth consecutive dual meet and defeat Indiana 35-6 at Wilkinson Hall on Sunday afternoon.The meet began at 141 pounds. No. 8&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6303">Chad Red Jr.</a>&nbsp;wasted no time against Eddie Bolivar, scoring a takedown seconds into the match. Bolivar escaped, but Red then scored a second takedown, earned nearfall points and recorded a pin, all in less than one minute of wrestling.No.16&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6302">Collin Purinton</a>&nbsp;(149) then faced No.14 Graham Rooks in the meet's lone match-up of ranked wrestlers. The two grapplers were scoreless after the first period. Purinton started the second period on top and Rooks was able to score a reversal. Purinton used two escapes to knot the score at two apiece, but Rooks was awarded the match-winning point when&nbsp;Purinton earned his second stalling warning of the match and the Hoosier grappler walked away a 3-2 winner.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

No.18&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6304">Peyton Robb</a>&nbsp;(157) scored a takedown and two nearfall points in the first period against Indiana senior Fernie Silva. The second period saw Robb add to his lead with points via escape and a stalling call on Silva. The redshirt freshman from Owatonna, Minn., finished strong for the Huskers, closing out a 9-1 major decision victory with a third-period takedown and a point for riding time.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6307">Jake Silverstein</a>&nbsp;saw his first dual meet action of the season at 165 pounds. Squaring off against Hoosier junior Dillon Hoey, Silverstein notched a takedown and four nearfall points in the first period, but Hoey was able to get on the board with a reversal. Hoey scored a takedown and ran his riding time total to over two minutes in Period 2. Silverstein started Period 3 on top and Hoey again registered a reversal, making the score 8-6 in favor of Silverstein. Hoey allowed Silverstein to escape, looking for a takedown which would have effectively tied the bout 9-9, but Silverstein got in on a single-leg shot and scored a takedown to win the back-and-forth match by decision, 11-7&nbsp;

No. 6&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6296">Mikey Labriola</a>&nbsp;(174) scored a takedown less than five seconds into his bout with Diego Lemley and needed less than a minute to record the meet's second pin.&nbsp;&nbsp;

No. 11&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6311">Taylor Venz</a>&nbsp;(184) kept the Big Red momentum going after intermission, scoring seven points in the first period and eight points in the second to tally a 15-0 technical fall victory over Jacob Hinz.&nbsp;

No. 5&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6306">Eric Schultz</a>&nbsp;(197) scored takedowns in all three periods and netted nearfall points in Period 3 to earn an 18-6 major decision victory against Indiana freshman Nick Willham.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

No. 16&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6297">Christian Lance</a>&nbsp;(HWT), wrestling for the first time since Jan. 24 against Penn State, used a workman-like effort to make it two consecutive major decision victories for the Huskers. Lance scored one takedown in each of the first two periods before tallying two takedowns in the third period to defeat Jake Kliemola, 12-4.&nbsp;

<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6310">Alex Thomsen</a>&nbsp;(125) and Liam Cronin exchanged escapes and were tied 1-1 when Cronin scored the match's first takedown with less than one minute remaining in the third period. Cronin was tough on top for the remainder of the bout and won 4-1, adding an additional point with one minute and one second of riding time.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

No. 14&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41449">Ridge Lovett</a>&nbsp;(133) closed out the match with a hard-fought 4-2 victory over fellow freshman Cayden Rooks. Lovett, coming off a victory by pinfall on Friday, scored via a takedown in Period 1, an escape in Period 2 and added a point for riding time.&nbsp;

With the win, the Huskers move to 9-3 overall with a 4-3 mark in conference action while Indiana slips to 1-9 overall and 1-8 in the Big Ten.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Huskers will host their final home dual of the season when No. 22 Michigan (6-4, 5-2 Big Ten) comes to Lincoln on Friday, Feb. 14. The meet will begin at 8 p.m. and be televised by BTN, with Senior Night festivities taking place prior to the start of the dual.

2/5 Signing day for NPHS! Pics and Audio

NPHS had ten athletes compete in the All Class State RAW Powerlifting Meet on February 1st. Creighton Prep High School hosted the meet that included 230 participants. The athletes competed by weight class and completed the bench press, squat and deadlift. Athletes are given three attempts to lifts as much weight as they can in each lift. The best attempt at each lift is then added together to figure the athletes total pounds lifted. Athletes then earn individual medals and team points based off of their total pounds lifted.

These Bulldogs placed in the top five overall for their respective weight classes:

Name: Wt. Class Squat Bench Deadlift Total lbs Place

Nicholas Spradlin 275 365 245 495 1105 5th

David Rinke, Will Kramer, Tanner Brittenham, Peyton Dimmit, Zach Alexander and Jackson Carter.

It is exciting to see the continued strength gains that athletes are making in our program. We had a number of athletes break personal records for their best attempts.

A huge benefit to attending these meets is the opportunity to compete in an event and to also see the strength level of other athletes.

I really appreciate the parental and administrative support to allow us to attend this meet2

Press Release by&nbsp;Samantha Geisler – Sports and Events Marketing Specialist

(North Platte, Nebraska, January 30th, 2020) – Hundreds of boxers will descend on central Nebraska, July 31st – August 2nd, 2020 for the Buffalo Bill Brawl National Open Boxing Tournament, sanctioned by USA Boxing. This 3-day Boxing Tournament to be held at the D&amp;N Event Center in North Platte is open to ALL boxers, novice or elite, of ALL ages and weight divisions (8 – 40+) and is designed to provide all amateur boxers with a platform where they can show off their talents. These events will bring amateur boxers from all around the country, including Missouri, Texas, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Wyoming, and more. Samantha Geisler, Sports and Events Marketing Specialist with the North Platte Area Sports Commission has been working with USA Boxing and the Nebraska subsidiary the Nebraska Local Boxing Committee (LBC) on this event for almost a year “We finally got our sanction and now we can finally start to promote the event,” says Geisler. “The Buffalo Bill Brawl National Open Boxing Tournament is the first and largest boxing tournament of its kind in Nebraska, and it is going to be held in our own front yard. We are excited to be hosting this event.” Registration for this tournament opened on January 30th and the cost is $25 to compete.

“The Buffalo Bill Brawl National Open Boxing Tournament is exactly the kind of event that North Platte is perfectly suited for,” said North Platte / Lincoln County Visitors Bureau Executive Director Lisa Burke. “The Nebraska Local Boxing Committee wants a central location where competitors from Omaha, Lincoln and Kansas City can face boxers from Denver, Cheyenne and Rapid City. North Platte is that location, and can be that location for many other sports.”

Representing the Nebraska LBC as the Tournament Director is Nate Walenta, owner of T.J. Sokol Boxing in Crete, NE. Nate is a former amateur and professional boxer who has been involved in boxing to some capacity for about 25 years. "The 2020 Olympics will be happening during this tournament. The Buffalo Bill Brawl National Open Boxing Tournament will provide the first step for the United States 2024 Olympic boxing team. Athletes gain experience through tournaments like this and the LBC is able to raise funds for stipends for our athletes to travel to other national tournaments." Says Walenta.

Weigh-ins and competition draw will be Friday July 31 at the Best Western Plus, where brackets and bouts will be determined. The tournament will take place in two sessions on Saturday and one on Sunday morning August 1 and 2 at the D&amp;N Event Center, with the Championship rounds on Sunday afternoon. Champions will receive a custom leather belt and the title of Buffalo Bill Brawl Champion, while the runner-up will receive a trophy.

North Platte’s representing gym will be Top Tier with coach JJ Connelly, the only local gym that is USA Boxing certified. More information on this event can be found at PLAYNORTHPLATTE.COM/BBBRAWL.

The North Platte Area Sports Commission estimates that this 3-day event will bring an economic impact of over $350,000 to the community through lodging, retail, food, and beverage. The sports commission developed this estimate by using the Event Impact Calculator developed by Destinations International provided by membership in the national organization Sports ETA: Sports Events and Tourism Association.&nbsp;

Registration and Tickets for the Buffalo Bill Brawl National Open Boxing Tournament is open online at PLAYNORTHPLATTE.COM/BBBRAWL&nbsp; or call Local Event Coordinator: Samantha Geisler at (308)221-6865 or <a href="mailto:sgeisler@playnorthplatte.com">sgeisler@playnorthplatte.com</a> or Tournament Director: Nate Walenta at (402)890-4836 or nemesisboxing@hotmail.com.

NPHS Wrestling: GINW vs NPHS Duel

The Kansas City Royals signed outfielder Alex Gordon to a $4 million contract for next season, giving the rebuilding club a veteran presence in what is expected to be a young lineup under new manager Mike Matheny. The Royals designated right-hander Heath Fillmyer for assignment Wednesday in a corresponding roster move. The 35-year-old Gordon, a three-time All-Star, won his seventh Gold Glove last season to move within one of Frank White for the most in franchise history.

Wisconsin used a record-breaking performance from beyond the 3-point line to pull away for an 82-68 win over the visiting Nebraska men's basketball team Tuesday night at the Kohl Center.

The Badgers were 18-of-34 from the 3-point line, shooting 53 percent from beyond the arc. The 18 3-pointers were a Wisconsin record and were also the most 3-pointers Nebraska has ever allowed. Wisconsin, which entered the game averaging only six 3-pointers per game in Big Ten play, hit 10 threes in the second half alone, to break open what was a one-point game at the half.

Eight different Badgers knocked down a 3-pointer, as Wisconsin's 18 threes were 10 more than they had made in any previous Big Ten game this season. Brad Davison hit four 3-pointers to pace the Badgers with 14 points, while Brevin Pritzl also knocked down four threes for all 12 of his points. D'Mitrik Trice had a trio of 3-pointers to add 11 points, while Nate Reuvers also scored 11. Wisconsin improved to 12-7 with the win and moved to 5-3 in Big Ten play.

Wisconsin's record-breaking night spoiled a solid offensive outing for Nebraska, as the Huskers placed four players in double figures. Despite missing 10 of its last 11 shots, NU shot 43.3 percent from the field, including better than 55 percent in the first half.&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=9932">Dachon Burke Jr.</a>&nbsp;led all scorers with 20 points, his third 20-point effort this season and 13th of his career. Burke hit 10-of-14 shots and grabbed a season-high eight rebounds.

<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=9934">Kevin Cross</a>&nbsp;added 17 points for Nebraska – including 10 in the second half – to post the highest-scoring Big Ten game of his career.&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=9939">Cam Mack</a>&nbsp;finished in double figures for the 12th straight game, scoring 14 points and adding seven rebounds and six assists.&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=9943">Thorir Thorbjarnarson</a>&nbsp;rounded out the Husker quartet in double figures with 12 points, while Yvan Ouderaogo added eight rebounds for the Big Red.

Nebraska fell to 7-12 overall with the loss and dropped to 2-6 in Big Ten play. The Huskers had 10-0 runs in each half but ultimately could not overcome the Badgers' long-range shooting.

Wisconsin led 39-38 at the half thanks to its 3-point shooting. The Badgers were 8-of-16 from beyond the arc in the first half, matching their most 3-pointers in a Big Ten game this season. But the Huskers were able to withstand the Badgers' hot shooting with an efficient offensive performance of their own. Nebraska shot 55.6 percent in the first half, and the Huskers' 38 points were the second-most first-half points Wisconsin has allowed all season.

NU knocked down four 3-pointers of its own in the first half, and the Huskers were 11-of-16 from inside the arc while scoring 18 points in the paint. Mack and Burke each had 12 first-half points, combining to go 10-of-14 from the field.

Nebraska came out strong, scoring on four of its first five possessions to build an early four-point lead. But Wisconsin answered with a 3-point barrage. The Badgers' first three field goals were all 3-pointers, with the third tying the game at nine. Wisconsin knocked down three more 3-pointers during an 11-3 run that forced a Husker timeout with the Badgers on top 24-15 midway through the half. At that point, Wisconsin was 6-of-10 from beyond the arc after entering the game shooting just 30 percent from long range in Big Ten play.

After the early onslaught, Nebraska held Wisconsin scoreless over the next five minutes. The Huskers took advantage, using a 10-0 run to take a 25-24 lead with six minutes left in the half. Burke scored the first four points of the run before Mack capped the spurt with back-to-back 3-pointers just 46 seconds apart.

Wisconsin regained a five-point lead with a 7-1 run over the next two minutes, before Nebraska hit its final six shots of the half to pull within one at the break. NU tied the game on a Cross jumper with 45 seconds remaining, but Wisconsin hit its eighth 3-pointer of the half to regain the lead before Mack's beat the buzzer with a runner in the lane to trim the Badger lead to 39-38 heading into the locker room.

Coming out of the locker room, Wisconsin pulled away by outscoring the Huskers 20-4 over the first 5:30 of the second half. The Badgers scored the first 10 points of the period – including two more 3-pointers – to take a 49-38 lead. Following a Husker timeout,&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=9933">Haanif Cheatham</a>&nbsp;ended the run with his first basket of the game before Davison hit his third 3-pointer of the half to give Wisconsin a 52-40 lead at the first media timeout.

Wisconsin stretched its lead to as many as 17, but the Huskers cut the lead back to single digits with a run of their own. Cross scored the first six points of a 10-0 run, with Burke adding the final four points as Nebraska trimmed the lead to 63-58 with nine minutes to play. But Wisconsin hit four more 3-pointers over the next four minutes to put the game away. The teams traded 3-pointers before the Badgers knocked down a trio of 3-pointers during a 13-1 run that put the game out of reach with Wisconsin stretching its lead to 79-62. The Huskers scored the final four points of the game at the free-throw line to account for the final margin, as Nebraska made just one field goal over the final seven minutes.

Nebraska continues its stretch of four road contests in five games on Saturday, when the Huskers travel to New Jersey to take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights for the second time this season. Saturday's tipoff is set for 1 p.m. (Central), and the game will be televised on BTN, with the Husker Sports Network providing a live radio coverage.

NU Can't Overcome Badger 3-Point Barrage

EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Jalen Smith scored a career-high 25 points, and No. 17 Maryland rallied to beat Northwestern 77-66 on Tuesday night. The Terrapins trailed by as much as 15 in the first half and were down 10 in the second when they went on a 15-2 run. Back-to-back 3-pointers by Aaron Wiggins and Anthony Cowan Jr. gave Maryland (15-4, 5-3 Big Ten) its first lead of the game at 56-55 with 9:10 remaining before Smith punctuated it with a hard dunk. Smith also hit a huge 3 with just under two minutes left to make it 72-63, sending the Terrapins to their second straight win after back-to-back losses. Pat Spencer led Northwestern (6-12, 1-7) with 17 points. But the Wildcats lost for the eighth time in nine games.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — No. 21 Illinois used a second-half offensive flurry to pull away from Purdue 79-62 for its fifth consecutive win. Kofi Cockburn scored 22 points to lead the Fighting Illini on Tuesday night. Trent Frazier had 21. Illinois swept the Boilermakers for the first time since 2008-09 and is off to its best start in Big Ten play since 2005-06. Nojel Eastern led Purdue with 14 points as the Boilermakers' 15-game winning streak in home conference games came to an end. Illinois erased a 30-29 halftime deficit by scoring the first seven points of the second half and never trailed again.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Brad Davison scored 14 points, D'Mitrik Trice added 11 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists and Wisconsin used a big second half to power past Nebraska 82-68. After leading 39-38 at halftime, the Badgers opened the second half on a 20-4 run to hand the Cornhuskers their fourth straight loss. Davison sparked the surge by knocking down back-to-back 3s out of the locker room. Dachon Burke Jr. had a game-high 20 points and Kevin Cross scored 17 off the bench for Nebraska, which countered with a 19-7 run of its own to pull within 66-61.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State says former assistant coach Kerry Coombs is coming back to the Buckeyes as defensive coordinator. Coombs spent 2012-2017 on the Ohio State staff as cornerbacks coach. He's spent the past two seasons in the NFL as cornerbacks coach for the Tennessee Titans. Coombs moves into the slot vacated by Jeff Hafley, who was hired as head coach at Boston College. Coombs coached five first-round draft choices from his unit while with the Buckeyes. Every starting Ohio State cornerback in Coombs’ six-year tenure reached the NFL.

UNDATED (AP) — Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, Ohio State defensive end Chase Young and Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor are among 99 juniors granted eligibility by the NFL into the draft. The NFL on Tuesday released the official list of 120 players who gave up college eligibility to enter the draft. Most previously made their intentions public. Among that 120 are 16 players who notified the NFL they had completed college degree requirements and were therefore eligible to be selected in the April 23-25 draft in Las Vegas. The total of 120 players who left behind college eligibility to enter the draft is down from the record 132 last season. The 99 juniors granted early entry by the league is also down from 103 last year.

NPHS Wrestling: Trojan Border Wars results

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (January 16, 2020)— Twenty-three high school coaches from across the country have been selected as 2019 National Coaches of the Year by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Coaches Association.

The NFHS, which has been recognizing coaches through an awards program since 1982, honors coaches in the top 10 girls sports and top 10 boys sports (by participation numbers), and in two “other” sports – one for boys and one for girls – that are not included in the top 10 listings. The NFHS also recognizes a spirit coach as a separate award category. Winners of NFHS awards must be active coaches during the year for which they receive their award. This year’s awards recognize coaches for the 2018-19 school year.

Recipients of this year’s national awards for boys sports included Jim Orcutt, the boys golf coach for North Platte High School during the 2018-19 school year.

If Major League Baseball really wants to stop its teams from electronically stealing signs, it might consider fighting technology with more technology. Baseball is a sport that's increasingly driven by analytics and advancements. But the majority of signs between players and coaches are delivered with low-tech hand signals. Those can easily be seen and the temptation to cheat is obvious. The Houston Astros were punished after an MLB investigation found they used electronics to steal signs. One partial model for a fix already exists in the NCAA's Southeastern Conference, where coaches and catchers communicate through an earpiece.

NPHS Wrestling: Triangular vs Scottsbluff and Hastings results

Story by Tessa Burford, NPCC Communications

]The North Platte Community College Volleyball team finished a competitive fall season and continues to represent the Knights well during their post-season. NPCC’s Erica Hopping was named to the&nbsp;Omaha World-Herald&nbsp;All-Nebraska Volleyball team, as a first team qualifier. Three additional members of NPCC’s 2019 Volleyball team, Bailey Chintala, Gabby Menghini and Sydney Mullin, were honorably mentioned for All-Nebraska Volleyball.

Hopping had 1,239 assists and 330 digs on the season. Averaging 9.25 assists per set, she also averaged 2.46 digs per set. This earned Hopping the rank of eighth in the nation and second in the region for assists, as well as 15th&nbsp;in the nation for assists per set.

Similarly, two former Knights volleyballers continued their careers after graduating NPCC and both ultimately qualified for national tournament play during the 2019 season.
