&nbsp; CHADRON, Neb. -- June 17, 2021 --&nbsp;Following approval from the Nebraska State College System Board of Trustees, Chadron State College has officially added women's wrestling to its athletics' program. With women's wrestling, the first such collegiate program in Nebraska, CSC will sponsor 14 sports. Women's wrestling, a winter sport, will begin competition in 2021. A search for a head coach is underway. "Chadron State College is proud to add women's wrestling," said CSC President&nbsp;Dr. Randy Rhine. "The addition of this program supports CSC's continued movement toward equity on campus with the addition of another women's sport." CSC will join approximately 28 other NCAA institutions that sponsored the sport in 2020-21. Deemed an Emerging Sport in all three NCAA divisions, women's wrestling is expected to appear at as many as 44 NCAA schools this fall. Under the current guidelines for the NCAA Emerging Sports for Women Program, a sport may establish a National Collegiate Championship or a divisional championship if at least 40 NCAA institutions sponsor the sport at the varsity level. "We're excited to be on the leading edge of this Emerging Sport," said Athletics Director Joel Smith. "Adding women's wrestling will enrich the life of our campus and create new academic opportunities for our community and our region." CSC has a longstanding wrestling tradition dating back to 1958. CSC has produced four national champions, 48 All-Americans, and won 371 dual matches. From 1969-2020, CSC's wrestling team had at least one qualifier at national tournaments. CSC also won a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference championship in 1994-95. "Women's wrestling is rapidly growing and it has made a big impact on the continued growth of our sport," said Head Men's Wrestling Coach&nbsp;Brett Hunter. "The addition of women's wrestling at Chadron State is a great thing for our institution and I'm excited that our administration noticed its importance and got this thing rolling. This is a huge win for our sport and Chadron State College".&nbsp; For information about supporting women's wrestling contact the Chadron State Foundation at 308-432-6366.&nbsp;&nbsp;

DENVER (AP) — Pinch-hitter Charlie Blackmon singled home the winning run in the ninth inning and the Colorado Rockies shook off a monster homer by Fernando Tatis Jr. to beat the stumbling San Diego Padres 8-7. Tatis hit a 477-foot homer, the longest of his career and his NL-leading 21st. He also doubled, but the Padres lost for the 13th time in 17 games. The gametime temperature was 99 degrees at Coors Field, and the hot weather contributed to a big offensive day. The teams combined for five home runs and 23 hits and neither starter made it out of the fourth inning. Trevor Story drew a leadoff walk in the Rockies ninth, stole second and scored on Blackmon's single.

Welcome back Cornhusker Fans! It feels good to say that and looking forward to seeing&nbsp; 100% capacity at Nebraska venues this sports season!&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Big Red Blitz 2021, made a stop in Alliance, Wednesday morning to talk about and promote the University of Nebraska and it's athletic programs. Cornhusker Men's basketball Assistant Coach Armon Gates, Head Wrestling Coach Mark Manning and Athletic Director Bill Moos were all on hand,&nbsp; along with Mattie Fowler of the Husker Athletic Fund and former Softball player who served as the emcee.&nbsp; First National Bank-Omaha hosted the event at Newberry's.&nbsp;

Mattie Fowler introduced the special guests and began the morning giving a rundown of the success of all Nebraska Athletic teams this year, despite the challenges of Covid-19.&nbsp; 

Armon Gates is beginning his 4th season as an assistant mens basketball coach under former coach Tim Miles and now under Fred Hoiberg.&nbsp; Coach Gates talked about coming to Nebraska from Northwestern and how he always felt that Pinnacle Bank Arena was one of the top places to play not only in the Big 10 Conference but in the country, giving Nebraska a huge home court advantage.&nbsp; &nbsp;He talked about how he decided to come to Nebraska because of the culture and support that was in place to give athletes the best shot at being successful and how Nebraska has put together a top 15 recruiting class, which he says will blend in with the returning players to give the Huskers the best continuity, they have had in recent years.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Wrestling Coach Mark Manning has had one of the most successful careers as a Cornhusker coach.&nbsp; He has produced 61 All Americans, along with numerous Conference, NCAA and Olympic Champions in his 21 seasons.&nbsp; Even with Covid restrictions in place, the Huskers went 8-1 in duals and finished 3rd in the Big 10 this year.&nbsp; Manning said his&nbsp;philosophy has always been..."recruit and develop" and the goal is to catch up and surpass, conference leaders Iowa and Penn State...and Nebraska is getting closer each season.&nbsp; Husker wrestling is also welcoming an excellent class of recruits along with good numbers coming back and Manning says he will continue to recruit within Nebraska.

Athletic Director Bill Moos is beginning his 4th year heading up Nebraska Athletic's.&nbsp; 2020 has been a challenging and at times maddening year.&nbsp; Moos said the athletic offices resembled a ghost town at times and some very difficult decisions had to be made.&nbsp; Moos said that how Nebraska navigated this crisis would define us.&nbsp; The Athletic Department was looking at a potential&nbsp; $100 million dollar loss of revenue.&nbsp; The difficult decision was made to eliminate 17 full time positions and furlough 51 others and put in a 10% salary reduction accross the board.&nbsp; &nbsp;When football was cancelled that meant an even larger loss.&nbsp; &nbsp;Moos said Nebraska had a football schedule in place, for a young team&nbsp; to be successful last season. Then decisions were made to cancel football.&nbsp; &nbsp;Moos said he probably removed himself from Big 10 Commissioner Kevin Warren's Christmas card list, when he fought to play a football season, after The Big 10 voted not to play.&nbsp; &nbsp;Moos said he told the Commisioner..."Nebraska needs Football...and Football needs Nebraska!"&nbsp; &nbsp;Moos said Nebraska and Ohio State were the only teams that argued to play.&nbsp; The Conference then voted to play a Big 10 only schedule with no fans and no tailgating,&nbsp; while other&nbsp; conferences played their entire season.&nbsp; &nbsp;Dispite a non-favorable schedule,&nbsp; no fans and limited conference support,&nbsp; &nbsp;The Huskers played through and finished strong.&nbsp; Moos said.." I am proud of what we did."

Moos also praised the Nebraska Baseball team on their recent Conference Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance. Head Coach Will Bolt was Conference coach of the year, Spencer Schwellenbach, Player of the Year and Max Anderson, Freshman of the Year. The Huskers were hindered a bit with a conference only schedule and a difficult draw in regional play, but took top rated Arkansas down to a final, winner take all game before their season ended.&nbsp; Moos said he hopes the Big 10 will make baseball a higher priority in the future and is looking to upgrade the baseball practice facilities.&nbsp; 

Moos said he is also excited about the new Athletic complex that is being built just outside Memorial Stadium, that will be state of the art,&nbsp; for not only football, but all athletic programs.&nbsp;

Several questions came up regarding Nebraska and the Big 10. Moos responded..."We are in the Big 10, we need to compete in the Big 10 and be in position to win in the Big 10.&nbsp; He said, "I have hired eleven coaches since I have been here...all big time,&nbsp; &nbsp;and we have everything in place to be successful in this conference and on a national level.&nbsp; Moos said, we are looking forward to welcoming our fans back and also, the Cornhusker Marching Band,&nbsp; Cheerleaders and the entire student body to all of our venues.&nbsp; "We are ready to take care of business!"

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Three Chadron State College rodeo contestants got off to their starts at the College National Finals Rodeos in Casper on Sunday.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Rowdy Moon of Sargent, Neb., scored 68.5 points while riding his bareback and both Quincy Segelke of Rozet, Wyo., and Brianna Williams of Buffalo, S.D., caught their first calves in breakaway roping.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Segelke’s time was 3.2 seconds, good for a tie for 13th&nbsp;and 14th&nbsp;in the opening go-round.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The breakaway leader in the first go was Winter Williams of Southwest Oklahoma State in 1.9 seconds.&nbsp; Thirty-four breakaway ropers caught their calves, 22 of them in 4.3 seconds or faster. The remaining 24 missed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Moon’s points placed him 22nd&nbsp;among the 30 bareback riders who made it to the eight-second whistle on Sunday. Only five others failed to get a score.&nbsp; The first round leader is Cole Franks of Clarendon College in Texas with 83.5 points.&nbsp;

When Alliance High School students return in the fall they will see some big changes to the main building.&nbsp; Besides the usual clean up and spruce up that goes on every summer, the students will see a bright, fresh , new look to the AHS&nbsp;Gymnasium.&nbsp; The gym floor has been striped of the top layer of varnish,&nbsp; sanded down to the bare wood.. and then repainted, varnished and sealed.&nbsp; &nbsp;AHS Activities Director Anita James says the project has been going on for the past week or so and is nearing completion....&nbsp; "The company we went through has done a great job of sticking to the design we wanted and it's going to look different, that's for sure......"Our floor has been slick for the past few years, so with the help of Dr Unzicker,&nbsp; our School Board approved it to be sanded down and completely redone...and we are hoping that fixes the issue...it brightens the gym up a lot and it will be a different look when fans walk in this fall."

Anita says the new floor will keep the unique parquet look of the old floor and will feature bright, blue boundaries along the basketball court.&nbsp; Bulldogs,&nbsp; printed on the baselines.&nbsp; &nbsp;The area between the free throw lane and the 3 point line shaded in a light brown.&nbsp; Alliance painted in large, blue, capital letters, along the south sideline and in the center a large, blue, Bulldog paw....Anita says&nbsp; "that paw is really going to stand out along with the other features...it's pretty cool!"&nbsp;&nbsp;

Anita says up next, the floor needs to be clear waxed and coated and then has to set for a few weeks, but will be ready when the students return and begin to prepare for the new school year,&nbsp; and athletes, coaches and fans are really going to like what they see .... ."when I saw it for the first time, it gave me goosebumps...it is going to be great for our students, which is what it's all about".&nbsp;

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Peyton Manning was elected to the Broncos&nbsp;Ring of Fame&nbsp;on Wednesday in recognition of his record-breaking four-year run in Denver that culminated with a victory in Super Bowl 50.

Manning will be honored during a game against Washington at Empower Field at Mile High on Halloween, less than three months after his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 8.

“From Floyd Little to Karl Mecklenburg to Steve Atwater to many others, I’ve always looked up at the names around the stadium and admired the great players the Broncos have had over the years," Manning said in a statement. “I’m very humbled to now join them as a Ring of Famer.”

The six-member selection committee&nbsp;unanimously&nbsp;selected Manning as the 35th member of the team’s Ring of Fame. Last year’s honoree, former coach&nbsp;Mike Shanahan, also will be honored this season after the pandemic prevented his ceremony in 2020.

Manning joins Champ Bailey (2019) as the only Broncos selected to the team’s Ring of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the same season.

Manning's four seasons in Denver from 2012-15 “were marked by record-setting individual success and exceptional leadership that helped the Broncos to multiple Super Bowls and one of the winningest periods in team history,” team CEO and President Joe Ellis said.

Manning joined the Broncos as a free agent on March 20, 2012, after his release from the Colts following a 14-year run in Indianapolis that included a win in Super Bowl 41.

At the time, his future in football was cloudy because he was coming off multiple neck fusion surgeries that left him with numbness in his throwing hand and he had missed the entire 2011 season.

He replaced Tim Tebow and took over a Broncos team that had gone 8-8 the year before his arrival and led them to two Super Bowls and one championship over the next four seasons.

Along the way, Manning won Comeback Player of the Year, his record fifth MVP award, two AP First-Team All-Pro honors and three Pro Bowl honors.

The Broncos lost Super Bowl 48 to Seattle but returned two years later and beat Carolina for the franchise's third Super Bowl title.

“He just kind of created this sense of energy for everybody — not just the offense or the defense but even the janitors and coaches,” said linebacker Von Miller, the Super Bowl 50 MVP. “The coaches started coaching different, the janitors, the cooks, they all had this sort of spark, and it was the Peyton Manning Effect."

A month after Denver's 24-10 win over the Panthers in Super Bowl 50, Manning retired a champion just as his boss, John Elway, had done following his second straight Super Bowl title in 1999.

“When Peyton arrived in 2012, his impact and standard was felt throughout our team, the entire organization and in the community," Ellis said. “Coming back from a serious injury — with a new team in a new city — to not only win MVP but to have one of the greatest single seasons ever by any player was a remarkable feat.”

Manning is the fifth QB elected to the team's Ring of Fame, joining Elway, Craig Morton, Charley Johnson and Frank Tripucka.

Manning was inducted into the Colts’ Ring of Honor in 2017, the same year he was a College Football Hall of Fame inductee for his success at Tennessee before Indianapolis made him the top overall draft pick in 1998.

Kicker Brandon McManus, the only active Bronco other than Miller who played with Manning, called the five-time MVP "an incredible competitor, probably more than athlete. I don't think he was the greatest athlete per se. But he was the best competitor in the world, and he knew how to win.”

Manning, who still lives in Denver, said the city and the Broncos were everything he'd hoped for when he arrived in 2012 and “once I got my confidence we went on a heckuva run and never looked back.”

He credited his “many great teammates and coaches” and singled out Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Wes Welker and Emmanuel Sanders on offense along with defensive stars Miller, Aqib Talib and DeMarcus Ware.

“It ended up being a great decision to come here not only to play for the Broncos but to be part of this special community,” Manning said. "Denver is a destination city. Our family is proud to call Denver our home and live in this community even after football. I’m very appreciative and grateful for my time with the Broncos. It’s a tremendous honor to be named to the Denver Broncos Ring of Fame.”

Big Red Blitz coming to Western Nebraska

Fayetteville, Ark. – No. 19 Nebraska pushed top-ranked Arkansas to the brink, but the Razorbacks used a two-out, eighth-inning rally to break open a 2-2 deadlock and punched their ticket to the Super Regional with a&nbsp; 6-2 victory,&nbsp; Monday evening at Baum-Walker Stadium.

Nebraska, which reached the regional final round for the first time since 2007,&nbsp; jumped out to a 2-0 lead before Arkansas closer Kevin Kopps slammed the door with seven shutout innings of relief to improve to 12-0 on the season.

With the loss, the Huskers end their season with a 34-14 record after nearly becoming the fourth team since 1999 to knock off the No. 1 national seed in regional play.&nbsp; Arkansas improved to 49-11 and will host NC State in a Super Regional this weekend.

Luke Roskam belted his 10th&nbsp; homer of the year, while Jaxon Hallmark drove in the Huskers' other run, as Nebraska was limited to four hits. Kopps, who went 2-0 with a save in the regional, fanned eight over a career-high 7.0 innings of work, kept the hosts in the game until Arkansas rallied in the later innings.

Kopps, who entered the game in a two-on, no-out situation in the third, allowed one inherited runner to score before getting stronger as the game progressed, retiring 13 of the final 14 Huskers he faced.

Arkansas finally broke through in the eighth with two outs against the Husker bullpen. Three straight walks by Koty Frank (3-1) loaded the bases before Jake Bunz uncorked a wild pitch to allow Christian Franklin to score the go-ahead run. Pinch hitter Charlie Welch then gave Arkansas breathing room with a three-run homer to make it 6-2.

Early on, it looked to be the Huskers' night, as the Huskers pushed across runs in the second and the third and got a strong bounce back performance from Cade Povich, who took a shutout into the fifth. The left-hander, who threw 64 pitches over a 3.1-inning start against Northeastern on Friday, allowed one run on three hits over 4.1 innings. The first-team All-Big Ten pitcher struck out six and walked two over a 65-pitch effort.

The Huskers touched up Arkansas starter Jaxon Wiggins, who lasted just 2.0 innings.&nbsp; Roskam led off the second with a monster home run to right field that gave NU a 1-0 lead, as the senior sent a 3-1 offering over the wall in right.&nbsp; &nbsp;Wiggins opened the third by walking Mogo Hagge and Logan Foster, Nebraska's No. 8 and 9 hitters before the Razorbacks called on Kopps.&nbsp; Joe Acker's sacrifice bunt moved both runners into scoring position before Hallmark's groundout plated Hagge to give NU a 2-0 lead.&nbsp; NU had a chance to do further damage, as Spencer Schwellenbach put a good swing on a 1-2 pitch,&nbsp; but was robbed of extra bases on a diving catch from center fielder Christian Franklin.

Arkansas broke up the shutout in the bottom of the fifth with a leadoff homer from Casey Optiz for his second round tripper of the year. Arkansas threatened with a one out double by Janel Battles&nbsp; and a&nbsp; walk to Zack Gregory to chase Povich,&nbsp; but Cam Wynne retired the next two hitters to escape unscathed.

The Razorbacks used the long ball to tie the score in the sixth, as Robert Moore's two-out homer, his 14th&nbsp; of the season, tied the score at two.

Kopps retired his seventh straight Husker in the top of the seventh and the Huskers brought in freshman Emmett Olson in the bottom of the inning.&nbsp; The lefty got a leadoff pop out and then gave up an infield single to Battles.&nbsp; With the go-ahead run on base, the Huskers brought in Frank, who got a pair of fly outs to keep the game tied after seven frames.

The Huskers (34-13) trailed 3-2 after four frames, but used a three-run fifth inning and Schwellenbach slammed the door with a career-best 4.2 shutout innings to silence a Baum-Walker Stadium crowd of 11,084. The Big Ten Player of the Year, who also had an RBI single, fanned four and allowed just one hit - lowering his season ERA to 0.57. The Huskers will look to become the fourth team to knock off the No. 1 overall seed in regional play since the NCAA Tournament went to 64 teams in 1999. Monday's first pitch between the Huskers and Razorbacks (48-11) is set for 6 p.m. (CT). Of the previous three teams to eliminate the No. 1 national seed in regionals, two have been from the Big Ten (Michigan, 2007 and Maryland, 2015). <a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=42677">Griffin Everitt</a>&nbsp;had the game's biggest hit, a two-out, two-run single in the fifth to give the Nebraska the lead for good and finished 2-for-4 with two RBI.&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=42657">Jaxon Hallmark</a>&nbsp;homered for the second straight game and had two RBI, while&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=42678">Brice Matthews</a>&nbsp;also added two hits for the winners. While Schwellenbach earned the win, the Huskers may not have gotten to Monday without a gutty performance from starter&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=42662">Kyle Perry</a>. The left-hander, who had pitched just six innings all year after recovering from elbow surgery, went a season-high 4.1 innings and fanned seven while allowing three runs on three hits. Due to NCAA Tournament rules, Arkansas was the visitor on the scoreboard Sunday night and Perry put the Razorbacks down in order with a pair of strikeouts sandwiched around a fly out to start the game. Nebraska's offense then jumped out to a 1-0 lead on Hallmark's 10th&nbsp;home run of the season. The senior from Midland, Texas, belted a 2-2 pitch from Lael Lockhart off the batter's eye in center field. It was Hallmark's second homer of the day, as he also hit a solo homer in NU's 18-4 win over NJIT. Perry retired the leadoff hitter in the third and then walked Battles before Matt Goodheart singled to left, Arkansas's first hit of the night. Cayden Wallace followed with an RBI single and a costly fielding error in center allowed him to take second. With two runners in scoring position Perry got a fly out, but then uncorked a wild pitch that scored Goodheart and on the play a throwing error by Everitt allowed Wallace to also score to give Arkansas a 3-1 lead.

Arkansas mounted a threat in the fifth when Battles worked a one-out walk and Goodheart followed with a single, putting runners on first and third. The Huskers went to Schwellenbach and the right hander struck out Wallace before getting a fly out to strand both runners. After getting the Huskers out of a jam in the top of the fifth, Schwellenbach tied the game in the bottom of the inning and then the Huskers retook the lead. Acker and Hallmark produced consecutive one-out singles before Schwellenbach's RBI single knotted the game at three. With a pair of Huskers in scoring position, the Razorbacks went to reliever Ryan Costeiu. The right hander struck out Roskam for the second out, but Everitt came through with a two-RBI single that put Nebraska back in front, 5-3 Lockhard (3-3) lasted 4.1 innings, but allowed five runs, four earned, on eight hits to take the loss. Costeiu worked out of a jam in the sixth, stranding a pair of runners. Matthews drew a leadoff walk, Hagge laid down a sacrifice bunt, but reach on a fielding error, and then a wild pitch put both in scoring position with no out. Costeiu was able to escape unharmed with a strikeout, a pop out and a fly out. Both teams went down in order in the seventh, and the Huskers took a 5-3 lead to the eighth. Facing Arkansas's 2-3-4 hitters, Schwellenbach retired them in order, including an inning-ending strikeout. Arkansas threatened against the Husker closer in the ninth, putting runners on the corners with one out. Christian Franklin opened the frame with a walk and eventually got to third on a ground out and a wild pitch.
