the Badgers Vito Brown into the floor late in the 1^st half on
Saturday night.

three spots in both college basketball polls this week.  The Badgers still haven’t cracked the top 25

The Marian University
men’s hockey team is ranked #11 in this week’s D3hockey.com and USCHO
polls.  The Sabres are 13-4-1 on the
season and have won 9 games in a row heading into this weekend’s regular season
ending series against Aurora.

 

Fond
du Lac High School senior Will Wright has won the Burlsworth
Character Award’ for the Fond du Lac
Football Team.  Brandon Burlsworth is
considered the greatest walk-on in NCAA football history.  He was drafted in the 1st round in 1999 by
the Colts and died shortly after in a car accident.  This summer, the movie “Greater” is
coming out in theaters chronicling the life of Brandon Burlsworth.  At the end of the movie, Will’s name will be
listed in the credits. Will was nominated in October and we found out last week
that he was selected as a recipient.
