What A Game! Ripon 57 Kewaunee 54

Greetings and good morning. Well if you had a chance to see or listen to the Ripon vs. Kewaunee game on Wednesday you had the chance to hear or see one of the best comebacks I have ever witnessed in my life. The Tigers were down by 20 points late in the third quarter when Dean VanderPlas took a time out. The crowd was quiet but Dean was not, he put a fire under these kids and gave them a "butt chewing" as he called it in the post game. It worked! Big Time. The Tigers went on a 14-1 in the fourth quarter and were able to tie the game 51-51 with a big free throw from Joe Lambert. I have never seen a team fight so hard to come back, but I have never seen a team so dumb as to a go into a four corner stall as Kewaunee did and not take wide open shots. We should send the coach and assistants thank you cards for the work. Great job by the Tigers on the victory. Waupun Omro Winneconne and Oshkosh Lourdes all up next for Ripon. Murderer's Row!

Ripon POG - The Ripon Defense gets my POG

Kewaunee POG - Jake Tess 12 in the first half via the 19'9" line

Best Warm-Up Song - Wow a metal heads dream in Kewaunee on Wednesday its a toss up between Metallica's For Whom The Bell Tolls or Du Hast from Rammstein.

Biggest Hit - Eric Neuman again got drilled in the game by Kewaunee. I have been told that Eric has said he has taken harder hits during the Basketball season than the hits in the Football season. Neumy never gets a charge call either he always is called with the block.

Random Tidbit About Game: Congratulations for garnering my vote for worst officiated game of the season.

Until next time...Rock on!
