Defense.
Rebounding.

DES MOINES - Controversy was piled upon controversy at the state dual meet wrestling tournament Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

The Prairie Hawks used their best guys in the opening round and beat Dowling Catholic, but their worst fears were realized when 106-pounder Sam Uthoff suffered a knee injury that put his status in doubt for the individual state tournament that starts Thursday.
DUBUQUE - Linn-Mar's defense limited Dubuque Hempstead to 12 points in the second half and the Lions pulled out a 46-36 win Tuesday night in Mississippi Valley Conference boys basketball.
Jordan Bohannon's 10 points led Linn-Mar (12-8, 11-4). The Lions sewed up second place in the MVC Valley Division with their 10th win in their last 12 games.
Josh Dolson scored 17 points for Hempstead (3-17, 3-12).
