West Lincoln-Broadwell defeats
Chester-East Lincoln for 8th grade regional championship
[January 30, 2026]
The West Lincoln Broadwell Wolverines defeated their
crosstown rivals, the Chester-East Lincoln Panthers, 49-19 to win
the Class 8-1A Regional Championship on Thursday night in Greenview.
Three Wolverines took care of the scoring: Kruz Froebe (21), Colby
Bowman (15) and Griffen Cross (13).
WLB held a 13-8 advantage in the first quarter. Bowman led the team
with seven points and Froebe tossed in six points.
The Wolverines were up 27-12 at the half with Cross leading the way
with six points.
The lead was a pretty dominant 46-15 when the third quarter came to
an end. Froebe hit two field goals and went 4-for-4 from the free
throw line while Cross hit a three-pointer and two field goals for
seven points.
Froebe’s three in the fourth quarter finished the scoring and set
the final score at 49-19.
Let’s give a shoutout to Kruz Froebe for having seven assists, six
steals and five rebounds in the win. He also led the team with three
fouls. Way to go, Kruz!
Many of these Wolverines have now won a regional championship the
last four years of their junior high careers. That also deserves
some recognition.
