Hinrichses team up to coach Wilcox-Hildreth boys basketball program | Sports | h

Posted on Saturday, January 10 @ 00:00:49 PST (14 reads)

Wilcox — some coaches have a right-hand man. for wilcox-hildreth boys basketball coach matt hinrichs, its a right-hand woman. thats because his wife, allie, is a falcons assistant. the couple, who married in 2023 and farm near hildreth, are in their first season leading matts alma mater. He was hired last spring to resurrect the program he played for during its most successful stretch to date. i actually have a lot of fun with it, said allie. I always just think of it as basketball is basketball. It doesnt matter if its boys or girls. Its just been fun coaching together. we give each other and sometimes the kids give us a hard time and say funny stuff to us about being married, but were having a whole bunch of fun. its been more so recently, since the falcons achieved their first win of their new era. they cruised to a 74-36 win over arapahoe dec. 18 in wilcox, which has helped increase the buy-in to the culture the husband-wife duo are trying to establish. they won a second, more competitive game against giltner/harvard in their first contest back from moratorium. now, they are playing more freely, without the pressure of shaking the monkey off their backs. now, theres hope and more desire to practice harder to yield more winning results. now, theres belief in the process matt and allie are trying to instill in their takeover of the program. it takes a lot of time and effort and were just trying to instill that things dont happen overnight, matt said. You gotta learn and grow. A lot of that comes during the offseason. But its just continual work and willingness to get better, even when the result maybe doesnt say what you want it to say. there should be plenty of faith that the couple can turn the program around. both allie and matt bring extensive basketball experience and knowledge to wilcox. matt was a junior at wil-hil when the consolidated program earned its first-ever berth to the state tournament. The falcons were 24-3 during that 2014-15 run — their best season to date. allie, whose maiden name is bauer, was on a state tournament team at elm creek as a sophomore in 2017. She then went on to a successful career at hastings college, first as a bench contributor and later earning a full-time starting role during the latter half of her senior year. while at hc, the broncos experienced some turbulence after allies first season, which had promising national title hopes before being cut short by the covid-19 pandemic. shes using those trials and tribulations to inspire the falcons. one quote ive said a lot this year with the guys is temporary inconvenience, permanent improvement, allie said. Were just trying to break some old habits and instill some really good, new ones. With that, theres a lot of inconvenience. Youre uncomfortable. They have to overcome that in order for things to change. the falcons notched just five wins last season. They had three the year before that, then two and just one in 2021-22. entering friday, wilcox-hildreth was 2-8. But neither of the coaches are discouraged. weve already seen great growth from our team and i think were a better team than our record shows and just trying to get better each day, matt said. allie and matt officially began dating in 2020, but their history dates back further than that. though three grades apart, they both played for schools in the fort kearny conference and occasionally crossed paths. Both are also coaches kids. allies first impression of matt as a hooper was hes ok, i guess. matt has always been impressed by allies skillset. ive always thought shes the best shooter ive ever been around, so i wanted to have somebody like that on my coaching staff, matt said. their styles and philosophies might be opposites, but perhaps thats why they work so well together. im more of the defense, matt said. Shes more the high-powered offense. the stats from their playing days reflect that. matt finished his career with 96 blocks, including tallying 67 as a senior in 2015-16, and 586 rebounds. Never the scorer his wife was, matt did average 13.1 points in his final competitive season. in all but her freshman season at elm creek, allie averaged double digits, reaching a high of 19.3 points per outing as a senior in 2018-19. She was a career 33% shooter from beyond the arc — her specialty as she advanced to hastings college. with the broncos, allie canned 37% of her 3-pointers, including a whopping 39% as a senior. while they cant lace up for the falcons, they can do plenty else to put them in a position to be successful. that includes rigorous film study — often done apart from each other first, then convening later — as well as practice planning. the spirit of competition drives them both. Though thats something theyve always known, in their short time on the sideline together, it has been underscored. when we were first going out, we were a little more competitive with each other, allie said. I think now were kind of putting that together so were more competitive in how can we make ourselves better and how can we channel that for the betterment of the program. the hinrichses appear to be the perfect collaborative pair. allie always envisioned herself doing some coaching, just not as the head of a program. luckily, matt plans to be at wilcox-hildreth as long as theyll have him, which means allies seat on the bench is secure, so long as they want to work together. as of now, they dont see that changing. They do, however, see the program evolving. maybe were not getting the wins right now, allie said. But hopefully with just overall improvement, then we can make a permanent change in our program and then well start to see just some positive outcome.

Uganda: Boys Outperform Girls in 2025 a-Level Cambridge Results - allAfrica.com

Posted on Saturday, January 10 @ 00:00:49 PST (11 reads)

Ugandan educationists have renewed calls for continuous review of the national education curriculum to enhance learners global competitiveness following the release of the 2025 a-level cambridge examination results. the call was made on friday by mohammed kakiika, head teacher of vienna college namugongo, during the official release of the schools cambridge examination results, an event that attracted hundreds of students and parents. kakiika urged government, through the ministry of education and sports, to ensure the education curriculum remains practical, relevant and aligned with international standards. we need an education system that equips learners with practical skills and global competencies.

Darren Rizzi, Jeff Hafley, Anthony Campanile up for NFL head coach jobs

Posted on Saturday, January 10 @ 00:00:49 PST (13 reads)

These north jersey natives emerge as nfl head coaching candidates art stapleton have you heard the one about the three jersey boys who jump into the nfl head coaching cycle together? new jersey natives darren rizzi, jeff hafley and anthony campanile have emerged as candidates across the league, and they also have something in common: all three bergen county coaches are with teams that enter the nfl playoffs with dreams of winning a super bowl. rizzi is the special teams coordinator of the denver broncos, the top seed in the afc. His team has a bye and will begin its chase for a spot in super bowl 60 the following weekend at home. hafley is the defensive coordinator for the green bay packers, who open their pursuit on saturday night on the road against the rival chicago bears. The two nfc north rivals split their regular season series. and campanile is the defensive coordinator of the jacksonville jaguars, who will play host to the buffalo bills on sunday afternoon. here is a look at their profiles and potential candidacies: broncos special teams coordinator darren rizzi rizzi, 55, will interview for the giants head coaching vacancy saturday, and itll be a virtual session due to nfl restrictions placed upon coaches whose current teams are still in the postseason. the hillsdale native was inducted into the bergen catholic hall of fame in 2013. He finished his high school career with the crusaders with 69 receptions, establishing a school record that stood for 22 years. rizzi worked with giants general manager joe schoen for eight years when the two were with the dolphins in miami. He has been an interim head coach for the dolphins and the saints, and wound up following sean payton to denver last season. its about time someone recognizes how good darren rizzi is, pro football hall of fame defensive end jason taylor said when rizzi was interviewed for the dolphins head coaching job in 2019. Taylor played under rizzi with the dolphins. Glad to see hes getting a look. Played for him and have known him for years. Great coach, leader, pro and teacher. Demands accountability and respect. rizzi joined the dolphins with four years of experience as a college head coach, including the 2008 season at the university of rhode island. Prior to taking over the program at uri, rizzi was a top assistant on greg schianos staff at rutgers for the previous six seasons (2002-07). before his stint at rutgers, rizzi was the head coach at the university of new haven, where he guided the chargers to a three-year record of 15-14 from 1999-2001. green bay packers defensive coordinator jeff hafley hafley, 46, had been prominently mentioned for months as one of those to watch as the giants coaching search unfolded. The franchise has strong ties to boston college, where hafley served as head coach from 2020-23, and his coaching resume includes stops in college (wpi, albany, pittsburgh, rutgers, ohio state and boston college) and the nfl (buccaneers, 49ers, browns and packers) where he worked with some of the brightest and best minds in the game. with the packers playing their playoff opener saturday night and hafley unable to interview until tuesday at the earliest, the giants have not put in an interview request as of yet. That could come this weekend, although given john harbaughs presence and anticipated interview next week, the plan remains uncertain. in an interesting turn of events, the dolphins hired packers executive jon-eric sullivan as their gm, and its believed that hafley will be in strong consideration in miami. with the cleveland browns, hafley worked with kyle shanahan, mike mcdaniel, aaron glenn and kevin o’connell. With the 49ers, he worked under shanahan and with robert saleh and demeco ryans. All have become head coaches in the nfl, with shanahan and oconnell among the most respected. hafleys defense in green bay has been praised for its discipline, sound tackling and ability to find the football. The montvale native has matched wits with some of the leagues best offensive minds - the bears ben johnson and the broncos sean payton, most notably - and hell go head-to-head with johnson again. jacksonville jaguars defensive coordinator anthony campanile campanile, 43, is thriving as dc in jacksonville with head coach liam coen, whose gamble on the coach and not necessarily the resume stacked with experience has paid off. His time working with brian flores and vic fangio in miami with the dolphins, greg schiano at rutgers and jim harbaugh at michigan has provided valuable intel from respected coaches at the college and pro levels. He has built a defense in jacksonville that is a blend of flores and fangio - two aggressive styles. Theres no questioning campaniles distinct in-your-face personality that screams north jersey, where he was born and raised in fair lawn. campaniles football life played out on the fields of bergen county as part of what stands as one of the states most decorated high school gridiron legacies. His father, mike, was the iconic coach of paramus catholic, while his four sons have followed in his footsteps. Anthony coached at rutgers, where he played, before working at don bosco prior to stops at boston college and michigan with jim harbaugh. his brother, nunzio, coached with anthony at don bosco and led bergen catholic to a state title; hes now the offensive coordinator at uconn. Vito, his older brother, is the head coach of state champion bergen catholic, which won four straight titles under his leadership. Youngest brother nick won a state championship as the coach of depaul. campanile has spent the past six seasons as an nfl assistant coach, first with the miami dolphins as linebackers coach (2020-23) and then with the packers as the linebackers coach and running game coordinator for hafleys defense before jumping to the jaguars as a coordinator for the first time. the jaguars are one of the best stories in the nfl playoffs due to a surprising resurgence under coen with campanile by his side. The jaguars led the league in run defense (85.6 yards per game) and were only third team since 2000 to not allow an opposing rusher to reach 75 yards in a single game. like hafley, campanile appears on track to get an interview with the dolphins. He has familiarity with their new gm from his one season in green bay, and others should be coming, especially if the jaguars defense plays well against josh allen and the bills on sunday.

Comment on Things Im Loving Friday #579 by KLC

Posted on Saturday, January 10 @ 00:00:49 PST (15 reads)

Right after publishing this blog post today, i’m actually off to the airport to celebrate ashley, one of my best friends from college. She’s getting married in february and a big group of us rented a large house on anna maria island in florida to spend her bachelorette weekend together. I’m ready for sunshine and quality time with some of my very best friends! but for now, keep on scrolling if you’re here today to check out this week’s roundup of favorites! things i’m loving friday - rat a tat catcard game our boys have loved uno for years but i am admittedly sooo over uno. Enter rat a tat cat!! I included this card game in chase’s christmas stocking for semi-selfish reasons (no more uno, pleaseee) and it ended up being the biggest hit for kids and adults!! It’s a super fun game to play with memory, a little risk and some strategy involved but simple enough for young kids to learn and play. (Even rhett at 5yo picked it up after being on a team with me for a couple of rounds, though i do think ages 6+ are probably best.) a quick summary of how to play: each player is dealt 4 cards they place in front of them face down. Each player then peeks at the two cards on the outsides and flips them back over. The two cards in the middle remain a mystery! Players then take turns drawing a card or picking up a card from the discard pile, trying to swap out their cards for the lowest number cards possible. (There is some risk involved since you don’t know your middle cards! There are also a few cards in the game that shake things up.) When you think you have the lowest number cards, you call out “rat a tat cat” ad everyone gets one more turn before revealing your cards. It’s a blast, i’m telling ya!! Also, so far it’s caused less fights/intense emotions than uno, so i’ll take it! i’m not sure what to call these uggs — slippers? Slip-ons? Booties? — Whatever they are, they are wonderful and i’ve been wearing them non-stop since i got them for christmas… maybe a little too much, honestly, because they’ve zapped my desire to get dressed in anything other than sweats all week long. It’s been a few years since i’ve had a new pair of uggs and the interior feels a little more plush now, making them extra comfy and cozy! (As far as sizing, i am wearing my usual boots/sneaker size which is 1/2 size up from my sandal/flats size.) And just fyi, this amazon version looks very similar with great reviews and is quite a bit cheaper — i had a good experience with a pair of cozy project cloud boots i ordered in the past in case that’s helpful! i cannot tell you how pumped i am about this protein powder! I had no idea a protein powder like this even existed — one made solely with almonds and nothing else — and i ordered it so fast when i saw it on amazon. I love almonds and had a feeling this unflavored almond protein powder would be something i would enjoy. I’ve been loving it so, so much, especially stirred into a warm bowl of oats, added to my basil/chia pudding and blended into smoothies. I just had to share this one in case any of you out there have always kind of wondered why a more neutral plant-based protein powder (that didn’t rely on pea protein) didn’t exist? (Fyi, they also have chocolate and vanilla almond protein powders but i’m not a fan of monk fruit as a sweetener so i’m a little hesitant to try them.) Note: this is not a sweet protein powder and definitely tastes like almonds/almond flour which i love but it’s important to note since it’s a pretty big departure from most other protein powders out there. i’m pretty excited because now i feel like i have a few go-to protein powders in my arsenal that i genuinely enjoy and look forward to using and that’s something i’ve struggled to find for a while now. If you’d like a more detailed breakdown of the protein powders i use and love and how i prefer to use them (what recipes, etc.), Let me know and i’ll add it to my list of blog posts to write! - birdie & harlowby taylor wolfe genre: memoir / my rating: a- my first book of 2026 set the bar high for the rest of my reads for this year. Birdie & harlow is a memoir by taylor wolfe — known on ig as the hilarious @thedailytay — and it’s a book that’s been on my radar for a while now. I knew the memoir mainly focused on taylor’s relationship with her vizsla, harlow, and her transition into life as a new mom but i had no idea i’d find it so immensely relatable, hilarious and emotional. We have so many shared experiences — namely a serious infatuation with our dogs, miscarriage and motherhood — and the way taylor shares her life through this book had me laughing out loud, sobbing and seeing myself through her words in such a strong way. if you adore your dog in an intense way, have experienced a miscarriage or are in the postpartum period of life or newly removed from it, i think this book would be one you would immensely enjoy. And if you like to laugh out loud one moment and find yourself with tears rolling down your face the next, you might like it, too. also, i have to give the author of this memoir a shout out because we lost our first vizsla, sadie, around the same time that her vizsla harlow passed. I reached out to her on instagram because i was so devastated and more heartbroken than i thought i would be… and i thought i would be really heartbroken. I knew she was deeply affected by the loss of harlow and the messages we exchanged made me feel less alone in my intense grief over the loss of our beloved dog. Whenever i see good people doing good work, it’s so fun to support them and she definitely deserves a lot of praise for this heartwarming and heartbreaking memoir. - top 10 of december 2025 sharing your top 10 favs from 2025! blog posts your top 10 favorites clare v. Moyen messenger(my most-used beloved bag. Absolutely gorgeous, perfect for mom-life and holds a ton without being too big or cumbersome. I love swapping out the straps to add interest and change up the look!)Mini epicurean cutting board(the cutting board of my dreams — super slim, non-toxic, dishwasher safe and non-porous so it doesn’t retain smells/flavors. The mini size is perfect for slicing up an apple, bell pepper, etc. And is one of my most-used kitchen items.)Baublebar tennis bracelet(the small stones give this semi-fine bracelet such a gorgeously feminine and delicate feel. I never take mine off and it’s held up perfectly. I have the 1.5mm stones and the 6.15in circumference and love that it doesn’t feel as floppy/fall down into my palm.)Deep storage bin boxes(hugely helpful for art supply organizations. Unlike other bins i’ve tried, the vertical bins in these boxes are deep enough for colored pencils and crayola clicks markers.)Material microplastic-free large cutting board(slim, non-toxic, dishwasher safe! I got it because it’s large but, most importantly, it has a groove along the outside to keep juices/liquids from running off. If you love epicurean boards, you’ll love this one, too!)Tongue scraper(random but useful! Comes in a two pack. Ryan and i use ours every day and truly believe it helps keep our breath fresh and our mouths feeling cleaner.)Box cutter(the best of the best for breaking down boxes.)Parallelle makeup bag(one of my fav finds of 2025. Stores makeup/beauty products vertically so they’re a breeze to find. I leave mine out on my vanity and use it very day — i have the large!)Battery daddy(very handy for keeping batteries organized and accessible.)Mini massage gun(small but mighty and way less cumbersome than the larger massage guns out there. I honestly reach for this one over our bigger, much more expensive massage gun.) - friday flashbacks spinach banana muffins (i made these again this week and they continue to be a big hit with our whole family.) chicken and chickpea salad (for anyone looking for a meal-prep friendly, high protein lunch option!) question of the day what is one thing you’re loving this week?

Graftons 6-foot-8 senior Brody Lillemoen in rare company with 48-point performan

Posted on Saturday, January 10 @ 00:00:49 PST (13 reads)

Graftons 6-foot-8 senior brody lillemoen in rare company with 48-point performance story by grand forks herald tom miller, grand forks herald sat, january 10, 2026 at 1:36 am utc · 3 min read jan. 9—grand forks — at 6-foot-8, grafton senior brody lillemoen is one of the taller north dakota boys basketball players in the area. that doesnt mean lillemoen isnt afraid to stretch the court with his shooting. advertisement advertisement advertisement earlier this week, lillemoen used 7-for-12 shooting from 3-point range to rack up 48 points in a road win over langdon area-munich. the 48-point showing is believed to be a school record. After lillemoen scored 41 points last season against east grand forks senior high, graftons athletic department did some research and believes lance anderson held the school record with 42 in the 1980s and anthony kliniske had 41 in 2008. it felt good to finally get in a rhythm, lillemoen said. That was a nice feeling. My teammates were giving me the ball and making nice passes, too. Everyone else was hitting shots, as well, so that helps. in the langdon game, lillemoen was 17-for-25 from the field, 7-for-12 on treys and 7-for-8 from the foul line. advertisement advertisement advertisement hes always been a shooter, said grafton head coach riley lillemoen, brodys father. Hes being chased and doubled, so its not easy shots, either. lillemoen shot around 30 percent from 3-point range last season and is hitting at 42 percent through four games in the 2025-26 season. The big performance had lillemoens scoring average up at 29.5 points per game. On thursday night, he poured in 31 points in a win over thompson. hes not the only tall scorer for the spoilers. Reggie rice, a 6-foot-6 senior, averages more than 20.0 points per game. Rice had 28 points in graftons win over thompson on thursday. its definitely a great 1-2 punch, riley lillemoen said. Were trying to fill the other pieces and gain experience at our other spots right now. advertisement advertisement advertisement since 2000, only 12 players have passed 50 points in a single game at the north dakota division a or division b levels, according to hoopster. legendary figure steve blehm of the north dakota school of the deaf holds the state record at 85 points in a game in 1971. according to hoopster, only one north dakota player in the bottom two divisions has reached 60 points in the last 48 years: walker braaten of westhope-newburg scored 60 in 2025. lillemoen said hed like to play college basketball next season but hasnt made any decisions of where he plans to play next season. the spoilers finished short of the state tournament last season, falling to four winds-minnewaukan in the regional tournament. advertisement advertisement advertisement grafton is off to a 4-1 start with the only loss coming to region 1 leader central cass. The spoilers sit atop region 2 but will have tough competition from four winds and devils lake, among others, come tournament time. the spoilers are adjusting to life without 6-foot-7 kyler droog, whos now at mayville state for baseball. Droog was a key figure for the spoilers the last few seasons. that was a big hit for us with scoring, rebound and defense, riley lillemoen said. Were getting in the swing of things and had just two games before christmas. Were kind of just getting rolling. Hopefully, we can find a groove. We have youth and inexperience, and these guys havent played as a group much, so were finding our way. advertisement advertisement

Oswego County TodayDavid W. Davis

Posted on Saturday, January 10 @ 00:00:49 PST (13 reads)

Oswego – david w. Davis (91) was born on 6/9/1934 in trenton, new jersey, to thurlow and ellen bradley, one of 4 sons born at home. John b, walter g, thomas j, and david, the youngest, by 20 minutes than his twin, tommy. Parents, 3 brothers, and his adult son all predeceased him. In 1960, dave met & married linda sue pollock; the couple has now celebrated 65 years of living in oswego, new york. raising 5 children on david’s favorite great lake, ontario, the children being jeff (wife elise), todd (wife gail johnson), scott (deceased), steve (wife sara), and favorite daughter penny hays (husband brent). Fourteen grandchildren: jasmine davis, taylor davis, amy davis, brandi davis kerling, kimberly davis, danny davis, vanessa bowen, samantha, ben, caleb, noah, and ella davis, joshua & andrew hays. Great grandchildren: chava, jackson, kayne, brielle, easton, meadow, henry, quinn, lyla, sawyer, kinsley, landon, and spencer. It was important to him to view their many activities over the years until ill health prevailed, one of the things grandchildren recall over time… “grandma & grandpa were always there watching us”. growing up in n.J., Dave recalls getting up early to get their chores done before their irish mother could think of even more for them to do. In the summers, the 4 boys spent time in vermont, living at their neighboring aunt ellie’s and grandmother’s home and working on moore farm, picking blueberries, and going to dinners. His aunt called the boys “devils”. Due to his mother’s untimely death at age 46, dave and his father relocated to new york as mr.Davis took employment as a chemist. david enrolled in college at suny oswego, majoring in education, graduating in 1951 with a bachelor’s degree. He taught social studies for 32 years, retiring in 1990 from central square. During this time, he was a part of the local teachers’ union and a member of the labor council. He spoke highly of many colleagues and “most” students. Growing up and teaching, dave always had side jobs such as painting houses, cleaning, and laboring for the county and for neighbor mike falise. Due to health problems, he regularly attended lakeside center for years, until its closing due to covid. He was always laughing and joking with the nurses and other patients. He also found hands-on help for his other friends and acquaintances as they dealt with terminal illnesses. Dave’s catholic education was influenced by one monsignor peter b, as well as his predisposition of being frequently in trouble with the nuns at queen of peace. Possessing a beautiful voice, he, as an older adult, became part of st. Mary’s choir. If you could ask dave now what he is most proud of, he would say 1.) Helping raise 5 children to turn out well. 2.) 10 years of service in the army national guard as a staff sergeant in troop d, and earning the sharpshooter’s award. 3.) Teaching flag football with ernie b. If you asked others about dave, they would say he likes ice cream from mcconkeys (or was it bills?); His favorite car would be a rolls royce; a good steak and guinness; his father’s favorite whiskey, canadian club, antique road show, and old war movies on pbs; and collecting antiques. Others might note that dave loves a good argument (he is seldom wrong). Dave would want others to know that he once floated down the dead river in me (w/o a lifejacket) even though he couldn’t swim. Son scott wilson davis died at the end of the shift at ofd in 2010. Dave has always felt a strong tie to the fire dept., And he feels they made him a part of their family. the many nieces and nephews remain widely scattered geographically, but close in dave’s thoughts and prayers, with hopes that his brother’s children have happy, healthy lives. Although he denied ‘liking’ the picture of mel brooks as it pertained to being his look-a-like, dave’s sense of humor prevailed throughout his lifetime. dying one week ago today on december 30th, 2025, per his request, family services will be private with a celebration of life planned for june 20th, 2026, at aoh. Arrangements are under the caring guidance of nelson funeral home. print this entry
