Here we go again!

To quote a Public Enemy song "Here we go again!" Its hoops season the time of the year I thoroughly enjoy. Basketball, basketball, and more basketball. Let's start first with RHS Girls. I know they have started a little sluggish in the last few games but they find ways to get it done. Coach Bill Peters has to love the fact that every girl on that bench can get in the game an work it. My two biggest suprises of the year so far have been sophomores Morgan Werch and Callie Langenhorst both have played some great minutes in the previous two games. The test will come this weekend when they play Reedsville on Saturday.

The RHS Boys open up this weekend in the Sheboygan South Tourney again this year taking on Sussex Hamilton. The boys roster runs 16 deep so there a lot of guys on the team, and excluding Gillespie, O'Brien, and Hill, there are not a lot of guys on the varsity roster with a ton of varsity minutes. It will be interesting to see what they bring to the table. Our first coaches show with Coach Vander Plas comes your way Friday morning at 7:20 am on AM 1600 WRPN.

The Tiger wrestling squad gears up for the Andrew Wallace Dual on December 2nd. We will have coach Bradley on during halftime of the next Ripon home game to talk about the wrestling squad.

Lets talk Packers, why? Well Bubba Franks isn't happy with his role in the offense, to which I say that's what happens when you club changes coaches Bubba. Deal with it or "Move Along" as the All American Rejects sing. ( I will work in a musical reference every chance I can get on here. LOL)

Weekly Biggie Awards;

Ripon Warmup Music Choice of the Week: My pick is going to the JV warmup CD with Fort Minor Remember the Name (That is my sleeper for this years most overplayed song in basketball)

Other Warmup Music Choice of the Week: Laconia Varsity Warmup CD Fergalicious by Fergie

Cool Halftime Contest: Laconia Spartans Pay a buck make a free throw you get a three pointer hit the three pointer you get a half court shot, hit the half courter you get $50. We saw it happen twice on Tuesday night.

That's all I got for now. Happy Thanksgiving. Until next time...Rock on \m/
