WRESTLING

Andover Central senior Jake Gentzler will sign a letter of intent today to wrestle at Arizona State. Gentzler, a two-time Class 5A individual champ, will wrestle again at 125 or 130 this season. "A lot of it is his intelligence on the mat," Andover Central coach Terry Alley said of Gentzler. "He's not an overly powerful kid, but he's long and lanky, which gives him the advantage in the offensive position, which is possibly his best area."

Kyle Busch was fined $25,000 by NASCAR for his obscene gesture at Sunday's race at Texas Motor Speedway, and the driver again apologized for losing his temper.
