Greetings folks. Right to the point. What the hell happened in Waupun on Tuesday night? I will save the game details for later but right now I want to talk about the scrums that took place on the floor. Maybe because the city is quiet on Sunday is the reason Waupun plays so scrappy. I know they are a physical team and that's how they want to play, but never have I seen a guy tackle two guys in the middle of the game. A Waupun player who won't be mentioned by name but wears the number 44 was out of line on Tuesday night. The first scenario goes like this Hron and Lambert working number 44 on a 2-1 break and he tackles both Joe and James, puts Joe in a headlock gets in some shots and all three had to be seperated by the teams and a cop at the end of the floor. Techincals were called free throws were shot and the game goes on. Until a couple minutes later when number 44 wanting to foul a player to put them on the line tackles James Hron again this time getting the Big X foul. My thoughts watching this game are during the first incident was "oh s#$t its on" and I was waiting for a hockey game to break out on the floor. During the second incident my thoughts are why is this kid still on the floor? Take control of your team and get him out of there. Lucky did do that and number 44 went to the bench. I know this is not the first time an incident has occured in Waupun this year. I know there was a malee in the stands and in the parking lot during the Waupun, Beaver Damn game this season in which people were escorted out by police officers. Why does this keep going on? Put some more security in the stands, have the administration talk to the team. Usually you expect some questionable stuff from the stands not the team. It just wasn't pretty!
Back to the game. Couple of thoughts big game for Scott Gillespie who went to the free throw line a bunch and could have went some more with all the pushing and shoving going on. Ripon sits up top with a 9-2 record with Omro behind at 8-3. Which means for the second game in a row the Tigers control there own destiny. Ripon should get the number one seed in the regional and if they capture a conference title it will be nice to say that boys and girls basketball along with wrestling all have captured a conference title this year.
Girls get a first round bye and won't play until Thursday the 24th in the playoffs against the winner of the Kiel Sheboygan Falls game. Ripon has Oshkosh Lourdes on Thursday weather permitting for a chance to capture its first conference championship outright since 1979.
