Fox Valley Lutheran @ Denmark
Friday, Aug. 23, 2019

Both teams are to be commended for the show of sportsmanship throughout the game. Every individual involved, both players and coaches, are to be proud of how they performed during this game. Denmark coaching staff was exceptional to work with and their players were excellent to work with on the field. The Fox Valley coaching staff dealt with the one issue we had during the game and all players were great to work with. Best of luck to these two programs going forward this season.

Seneca/Wauzeka-Steuben @ Highland
Aug. 23, 2019

What a great display of sportsmanship by both teams, as S-WS players and Highland players both were helping each other up off the field at the end of plays. There was no trach talking, only positive words of encouragement to each other. The coaches coached, the players played, and the fans cheered. Our crew never heard a complaint about any calls that were made. There was never any questioning of what took place when penalties were called, by players, coaches, or the fans. Truly a great night of what high school sports are all about. The communities of Seneca, Wauzeka, Steuben, and Highland can be proud of their coaches, players and fans doing an outstanding job of representing them. Keep up the good work S-WS and Highland!

Menasha @ Xavier
May 2, 2019

For both programs, respect was noticeably one of the central values being taught in the classroom, at practice, and on game day. Menasha players Tristin DeBriyn and Jordan Nichols were true leaders on the field. Xavier’s Phil Lorge showed numerous positive acts of sportsmanship throughout the contest. I also wanted to emphasize the hustle aspect of both Kaiser VandeLoo of Menasha and Phil Lorge of Xavier. These two catchers really worked hard in their catching roles. I witnessed them picking up numerous bats, offering a kind word to an opponent for a good play, and moving bats for opponents during play to make sure the area around the plate was safe. Both the Menasha and Xavier school and community leadership should be proud of these young men, their coaches, and their parents for their excellent display of positive sportsmanship at an education based athletic event. Best of luck to both teams this season and keep up the great work!
