Sportsmanship PLUS - Softball

Wilmot @ Union Grove
April 26, 2022

First thing that happened as we entered the field was two Union Grove players approached us with two brown paper bags  as a thank you for umpiring their game! These bags included a pack of gum, a pack of sunflower seeds,a granola bar, a thank you card, a card explaining their S.A.L.T. organization which stands for Student Athletic Leadership Team, AND best of all was a hand warmer which was definitely needed on this cold blustery day! We very much appreciated this act of kindness. Also, coaches, players and fans were respectful and watched a well-played game. Situations like these make all our hard work seem appreciated.

New Holstein @ Brillion
April 28, 2022

Here are four young men who appreciate and share positive sportsmanship with others: Hunter Boldt & Noah Hausler of New Holstein and Baily Ganz & Austin Hoyer of Brillion. Thank you for supporting players from the other team by picking up their bats, offering them a kind word, and showing hustle after foul balls when it isn’t asked of you. Your kind gestures were noticed by the umpires and were greatly appreciated. Brillion and New Holstein school district administrators should be proud of their respectful student athletes. Keep up the great work and have a fun season!

Elkhorn @ Waterford
April 29, 2022

Another kind gesture by the home team! Waterford  gave us both an “Official’s Goody Bag!”  It was part of their Sports Officiating and Coaching class. The bag had a bottle of water, granola bar, chips, rice krispee bar, and a nice thank you note. Again, so nice to feel appreciated for all our hard work and training! The game was good, exciting and well played! Both teams were polite hard working young ladies and the coaches and fans enjoyed a good game. Heartfelt thanks from the two officials!

Racine Lutheran vs. Racine Horlick & Nicolet
April 23, 2022

I would like to acknowledge and thank Becky Demuth and her entire softball team and staff. My partner became ill at the game and couldn’t return to the duties of an umpire. Two Racine Lutheran gentlemen spectators stayed with him throughout, to insure his safety and comfort. The trainer also kept an eye on him. When the game was complete, Becky Demuth and entire team shook his hand wished him well and thanked him. A true class act by the Racine Lutheran family. Thank you also to the two gentlemen that not only watched over my partner.

Sportsmanship PLUS - Girls Soccer

Wausau East @ Rhinelander
April 19, 2022

I have been officiating soccer for over 30 years and have experienced a lot of soccer matches, and I must say it was a pleasure to officiate this match. From the start at the captains’ and coaches’ meeting, to the final minutes of the game our officiating crew experienced a hard fought match that was refreshing to us. When a foul occurred we saw good sportsmanship take place from both teams as they would say "I'm sorry" and even helping them up as they were respectful to each other. Both coaching staffs were very positive as they gave instructions and encouragement to their team.

At the end of the match both teams shook hands with each other and us they had a good spirit as they departed the match. This is what high school athletics is all about! Looking forward to more matches like this one!
