That's Is What High School Sports Is All About

Whats up blog readers? Hope its going well. If you were in attendance on Friday night to watch another Ripon vs. Berlin battle you were entertained with a great game. The Ripon Berlin rivalry never gets old and that is a good thing. Before the game we talked with Dean VanderPlas and asked him if he would like to see some more shots on the inside? His answer was a resounding "yes". Well he got it from Eric Nueman on Friday as Neumy dropped in 27 points in the 56-51 victory over Berlin. Ripon jumped out to a quick 11-0 lead however the Indians would then start dropping three's and quickly tied it up and took the lead. The fourth was basically trading baskets in the front half of the quarter. Ripon started to heat back up and some big free throws from Joe Lambert helped the Tigers with the victory. Two game balls going out in this game. One to Neumy for the big night and another to James Hron for containing Myls Phillipi to only three points on three shots attempted all night. He shut him down no ifs ands or buts about it. Nice job James!

Next up Girls Hoops I told you the Waupun Ripon game wasn't gonna be close and it wasn't as the Tigers won by 38 points. Taylor Wurtz and Sam Bickert had some great baskets for Ripon as they get ready to finish up on the road against Omro Winneconne and Oshkosh Lourdes.

Ripon wrestlers have the Conference meet today in Omro. Coach Bradley wasn't sure how the youngsters on the team would step and they have answered any of those questions. Here is to hoping Ripon kicks some behind in the Conference Tourney.

Time for the funny portion of the Show. The Biggie Awards.

POB (Player of the Blog) - Eric Neuman for dropping 27 plates on Berlin

Best Pep Band Song This Week - Toss up between Low Rider or the Chicken Dance from the RHS Pep Band.

Number of Times This Week Bob Lukoski Has Complained About Not Following Shots: 9056

Best Cheer of the Week: This time going to the Berlin faithful as after Brett Vergin made a big shot in the Berlin game it was either "He's A Virgin" or He's Our Virgin" either way very funny. It was good to hear the "Start Your Tractors" chant again though from Ripon. Still funny too.

RHS Pep Banders Of the Blog: Going to Eazy E on the Tuba with the nice faux hawk haircut and to Lenny Schultz on the drums for being just that damn good at playing them. (Watch that kid on the kit or the snare, uneral)

Some of the Nicest Guys to Work With: The guys from AM 1090 WISS. Sponny and the crew have always been cool with us so we say thanks. There is this underlying radio rule that you are suppose to not like your radio counterparts which to me is some big BS. Those guys are great and they support there team just like we do. Props to them.

Biggie's Song of The Week: Chris Brown Run It, its has been stuck in my head all week.

Until next time...Rock On!

Biggie, I wanna say thanks to you guys as well. For being cordial to us and looking out for us when we come to Ripon...it's a real blast to talk with you guys. Now all you have to do is stop getting to Berlin earlier than we do and taking our table! :) Kidding, mad props...good luck the rest of the way..
