Unreal

Well Ripon Tiger Football players you get a big round of applause from the Bigster. Quite honestly I didn't think you had a chance against Lodi and especially so after the first quarter. But then something happened, whether a coach said something, maybe you remember what it felt like to have Waupun whoop you up the week earlier and it ticked you off, whatever your motivation was you should be proud of yourselves for the comeback.

NEWS FLASH AARON KRAMER GETS EXCITED - yep I know hard to believe but when the Tigers make a big play everyone within a 4 county radius knows about it. Well the state of Wisconsin got to know it on Wed Morning. AM 1600 WRPN had and arrangement with 620 WTMJ out of Milwaukee to send our best highlights to them so they could play them this morning. Well we sent the blocked field goal of course and to paraphrase what John Jagler from WTMJ said, that was a great call and sounded like and awesome game. John it was!

BIG PROPS TO THE RIPON CROSS COUNTRY TEAM - To quote some bad 80's song "Lets Hear For The Boys" as they dominated the sectional meet to take first place and send them to state this year as a team. Even better they get to travel with their running mates the Ripon Tiger Girls Cross Country Team. It's the first time since 1986 that both teams make it to state (hell I wasn't even in high school then, and some of my part time staff at the station was 4 months old) So its a big deal. If you see any of the team members give them a pat on the back, tell them excellent job, make it a big deal for them, because it is.

I just put together my basketball schedule and our first game is Tuesday November 14th, which makes the High School Sports calendar 11 out of 12 months WRPN is covering some kind of High School Sports. I LOVE IT. There is nothing better the prep sports, but your overpaid, showboating, steroid taking role models aside and watch some kids who play for the true meaning of the game.

My basketball predictions will come soon enough stick around.
