(WFRV) – The final weeks of the high school basketball regular season are nearing their climax, and conference titles are being decided at several venues around northeastern Wisconsin.
In this edition of High School Sports Xtra, we recap an exciting game of the week with Fox Valley Lutheran winning a tie for the North Eastern Conference crown. We also discuss the hockey playoffs with Notre Dame head coach Cory McCracken, our Team of the Week awards, and a countdown to our top 5 home plays.
This week’s show features an amazing comeback story on the wrestling mat. Luxembourg-Casco’s Max Runesmann, the quarterback who fractured his fibula in a soccer game on Sept. 23, has reinstated his card to the state championship for his wrestling title defense just five months after sustaining a leg injury.
