jstyf@shawmedia.com Dalton Wagner went to the Army All-American Combine last week in San Antonio prepared and made an impression among Class of 2017 offensive tackles, measuring 6-foot-8¾ and weighing 294. On Tuesday, that impression turned into a scholarship offer from Dalton Wagner Louisville for the Richmond-Burton junior after a conversation with offensive line coach Chris Klenakis. It’s his second Division I offer, along with an offer from Miami (Ohio) on Christmas. “From what I’ve seen, it’s very cool,” Wagner said of Louisville. “I just can’t wait to get out and see the campus. It looks very promising.” Wagner hopes to visit the school some-
time soon, noting Klenakis has coached 23 NFL linemen. Wagner was joined locally at the combine by sophomore offensive linemen Jeff Jenkins (Prairie Ridge) and Wyatt Blake (Crystal Lake Central) along with Hampshire junior quarterback Jake Vincent. Wagner said he prepared for the combine events with Chris Leathers of Your World Fitness in Spring Grove along with working with his brother, R-B grad and Southern Illinois redshirt freshman lineman Bryce Wagner, on pass protection and some of the offensive line training work. “It was an all-new stage, a stage I’ve never been on,” Wagner said of the combine. “It was a lot of fun. I think I did pretty well in the combine portion, and 1-on-1s were awesome.” Wagner plans to take this week off and then start planning visits to places such as Louisville and several Big Ten schools soon.
Woodstock North, jr., F
By TIM SIECK sports@nwherald.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Even on what Woodstock North would consider an off night on the offensive end of the court, the Thunder showed they can be a pretty explosive team capable of scoring in bunches. North broke open what was a tie game at halftime and pulled away from Crystal Lake Central in the third quarter, as the Thunder defeated the Tigers, 63-52, in a Fox Valley Conference Fox Division girls basketball game at Crystal Lake Central High School. Early in Tuesday’s game, it was clear that defense was going to play a factor. Each shot was closely contested and turnovers were numerous.
Busch was 10 of 11 from the foul line, all in the second half, and finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds. THE NUMBER

AND ANOTHER THING ...
Crystal Lake Central uses a 14-player rotation, making hockey-like substitutions every 60-90 seconds. The fresh legs helped the Tigers force 26 turnovers. Each team put together a 7-0 run in the second quarter, and the first half ended with the score tied at 25. The game changed in the third quarter when North (7-10, 2-4 FVC Fox) scored 22 points and finished the quarter on a 17-0 run. The
Thunder shot 57 percent in the quarter and were a perfect 6 for 6 from the foul line. “Our free-throw percentage has been around 70 percent all season, and tonight we were able to shoot even better than that,” Thunder coach Mike Lewis said. “It really helped us getting in the bonus in the third quarter and we were able to win the game from the line.” The Tigers (2-16, 0-7) were able to cut the lead to 10 in the fourth quarter. But North hit its late free throws, especially in the fourth quarter, when the Thunder shot 12 for 15 from the line. Haley Ahr led the Thunder with 20 points and eight rebounds. Central kept the game close for 27 of the 32 minutes, but the run by the Thunder at the end of the third cost the Tigers. Central was led by Natalie Freund with 12 points. “Our defense was affected by our poor shooting, especially in the third quarter,” Lichtenheld said. “Our mistakes led to free throws, and they rarely missed.”

HOUSTON – NFL owners voted Tuesday night to allow the St. Louis Rams to move to a new stadium just outside Los Angeles, and the San Diego Chargers will have an option to share the facility. The Oakland Raiders, who also wanted to move to the area, could move to Los Angeles if San Diego doesn’t, commissioner Roger Goodell said. The moves end the NFL’s 21-year absence from the nation’s second-largest media market. The compromise – the Chargers and Raiders wanted to share a new stadium in Carson, California, and the Rams wanted to move to nearby Inglewood – was approved 30-2 after the other options did not get enough votes. The Chargers can continue to negotiate with San Diego for a
owner Stan Kroenke at the $1.8 billion complex he is building.
Baseball Hall of Famer, ex-Cub Irvin dies at 96
HOUSTON – Hall of Famer Monte Irvin, a power-hitting outfielder who starred for the New York Giants in the 1950s in a career abbreviated by major league baseball’s exclusion of black players, has died. He was 96. The Hall of Fame said Irvin died Monday night of natural causes at his Houston home. Irvin was 30 when he joined the Giants in 1949, two years after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier. Irvin spent seven of his eight big league seasons with the Giants and one year with the Cubs in 1956.
