Prep report: Smith makes fourth Wisconsin state title match
Northwestern’s Ian Smith will get his chance to wrestle for a second state championship at the Wisconsin state wrestling meet, but only after coming out on top in a sudden-victory situation against Blake Thiry of Prairie du Chien on Friday night at the Kohl Center in Madison.
Smith, the top seed in Division 2, 215 pounds, found himself in a tough situation against the fifth-seeded junior in the semifinals. After a scoreless first period, the only scoring in regulation time was a single escape point both ways.
The decisive move came quickly, as Smith scored the winning takedown just 21 seconds into overtime to claim the win and a berth in his fourth consecutive state championship match.
The win put Smith into Saturday’s championship match against Chase Matthias of Two Rivers, a rematch of the match in which he won his first state championship, at 195 pounds last year, in which Smith scored a late point to win 3-2. Smith met the same wrestler, Clayton Whiting of Oconto Falls, in title bouts in 2021 and 2022.
Smith successfully navigated his first hurdle to a state championship when he prevailed in a 13-4 major decision over Teige Perkins of Richland Center.
Northwestern’s Ivan Woodhull dropped his opening match at 126 points in a 6-0 decision to Michael Bostwick of Luxemburg-Casco, who went on to lose his next match, ending Woodhull’s tournament.
In the girls tournament on Thursday, Northwestern’s Adeline Pooler was pinned in 1:27 by Killian Kiernan of Muskego, which, after Kiernan lost her subsequent match, ended Pooler’s participation.
The finals session in which Smith is to wrestle Matthias is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Two Harbors 67, Greenway 46
The Agates held the host Raiders to just 17 points in the second half and claimed a 21-point road win on Friday night in Coleraine.
Jace Roberg scored 25 in the win, while Trevor Kleive and Jace Gomez finished with 14 and 13, respectively.
For Greenway, Gage Olson scored 25, but no other Raider scored more than six.
North Woods 80, Chisholm 78
The Grizzlies overcame a small halftime deficit and knocked off the Bluestreaks on Friday in Chisholm.
Jonah Burnett scored 26 and Louie Panicci 23 for North Woods, which outscored Chisholm 43-38 in the second half of their closely contested duel.
Lawrence Oberg scored 22 for Chisholm, which had a half-court bid at the buzzer miss the mark.
Barnum 77, Cook County 36
The Bombers had three scorers in double figures as they cruised to victory on Friday night at home.
Barnum was already up 42-23 at halftime when it held the Vikings to just 13 second-half points. Meanwhile, Pierce Korpela and teammates had the offensive side of things covered. Korpela scored 19, while Carlos Beckstrand scores 12 and Hayden Charboneau 11.
Appleton East 64, Superior 49

How to milk a cow as seen at the Wisconsin State Fair
There’s more to milking a cow than you might think. In this archived video at the Wisconsin State Fair, a Journal Sentinel reporter gave it a try.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel files
Wisconsin Republicans had a field day when the state Democratic Party celebrated the start of National Dairy Month with a post featuring male cattle that don’t produce milk.
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin initially posted a “Happy Dairy Month” graphic on Facebook, Instagram and X showing two brown and white cattle with horns and no visible udders.
The party later posted a corrected version, featuring two black-and-white spotted Holstein cows. T-bone steaks with halos and wings floated above them – presumably, where the male cattle had gone.
“We regret that our Dairy Month tweet contained an error. We have ‘taken care’ of the issue, if you catch our drift,” the party wrote June 1.
Side note: Many dairy cattle, including females, naturally have horns. In most cases, they’re removed to prevent injuries to farmers and cattle themselves. But udders are visible only on female cattle, a.k.a. cows.
Tom Tiffany, the leading Republican candidate for governor, jumped on the mistake, posting a video touting his experience growing up on a Wisconsin dairy farm.
Tiffany and other Republicans also criticized Democrats for celebrating the start of Pride Month, which recognizes LGBTQ+ communities and begins June 1 alongside National Dairy Month.
“I regret to inform [Wisconsin Democrats] that you cannot milk a bull. But considering they think men can get pregnant, I guess thinking you can milk a bull tracks too,” Tiffany wrote on X.
Tiffany also said June 1 that, if elected governor, he would no longer fly the Pride flag over the state Capitol in June – a practice started by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers in 2019.
Evers also celebrated June Dairy Month with a video message, in part criticizing President Donald Trump’s tariff policies and cuts to federal programs supporting farmers.
Wisconsin is home to about 5,000 dairy farms – more than any other state – and has about 1.27 million cows. National Dairy Month originally started in 1937 as National Milk Month.
