Parker Hill was getting ready to leave for the girls basketball state semifinals on March 12, 2020. Her Winston Churchill High School teammates were gathered in the gym, where the coach had told them that the game had been canceled due to COVID-19, but she was just returning from the locker room and missed the announcement.

The Huskers are riding a few really solid recruiting classes as of late. Two of those players are from in-state Millard South High School in Scott Robertson and Antrell Taylor. Robertson will join the Huskers as a freshman this fall, while Taylor still has his senior year of high school ahead of him and hopes to win his third state title.
Over the weekend, the MWC Wrestling Academy out of Omaha traveled to State College to take part in the Ultimate Club Duals. Taylor competed at 73kg for MWC while Robertson was at 69kg.
“Founded in 2016 in the heart of the Lehigh Valley, the vision of Ultimate Club Duals was to create a world class freestyle event that would crown the best freestyle club team in the United States. The Ultimate Club Duals utilizes a unique format that combines all age groups (Scholastic, Cadet and Junior) to form one team, to create the most inclusive wrestling experience in the country.” - from ultimateclubduals.com
