Sportsmanship PLUS - Baseball

Marinette @ Fox Valley Lutheran
April 19, 2022

It is wonderful to see student athletes exhibit positive acts of sportsmanship before, during, and after a varsity baseball doubleheader. Fox Valley Lutheran’s Lincoln Thede & Eli Retzlaff, as well as Marinette’s Landon Cerwin, exemplify what it means to be great sportsman and leaders of a team. Gary and I wanted to congratulate these three young men for this much appreciated display of showmanship and positive attitude. Thank you to Coach Kramer and Coach Maedke for your positive leadership on and off the field, it was noticed by many.

Oak Creek @ Racine Horlick
April 5, 2022

Sportsmanship and Safety, go hand in hand. What your about to read, proves it, in a big way. On a bitter cold and windy afternoon Racine Horlick’s Tanner Isaacson hits a ground ball deep in hole between first and second. The Oak Creek second baseman cuts the ball off, headed for right field, and from his knees, throws to the first baseman Ryan Santi. The throw is somewhat up the first base line, and Santi stretches far up the line and keeps his foot on the base. He makes a great catch of the thrown ball in time to get Isaacson out. As this is happening, Isaacson has a full head of steam running to and beyond first base. To avoid a serious collision, Isaacson puts both his hands on Santi's back, but did not maliciously contact him. In fact, Isaacson side steps into foul territory, sort of, and that move avoided the possibility of potentially serious injury to himself and Ryan. The net result of the collision, was Santi being moved further down the first base line and Isaacson holding onto Santi to avoid further impact. The Horlick first base Coach, Drew Tague, along with Isaacson, immediately helped Santi to his feet. Everyone involved was apologetic and instantaneously checking with each other for any injuryl. Both head coaches, Scott Holler of Oak Creek and Tyler Funk of Racine Horlick,  deserve thanks for teaching their players the proper way to handle this situation. This was textbook!

Sportsmanship PLUS - Girls Soccer

Somerset @ Baldwin-Woodville
April 5, 2022

Both the Baldwin-Woodville and Somerset girls’ varsity and JV soccer teams deserve a shoutout for awesome sportsmanship during their games on April 5. With both games played in a steady and chilly rain, the girls were upbeat and positive the entire time and it was evident they were still having fun, not complaining about the conditions, and playing for love of the game. It was truly inspiring to watch these girls compete. Bravo to both schools!

Omro @ Ripon
March 29, 2022

On a very cold and blustery opening day in Ripon, the WIAA baseball season was in full swing with many acts of positive Sportsmanship. Donny Sohm and Nate Piper led the Omro team by assisting opponents with bat retrieval and offering a kind hand of congratulations on a game well played. Max Belling and Brett Bock of Ripon also added multiple acts of sportsmanship by helping retrieve foul balls and to chase down rogue, blowing helmets. We as umpires noticed these and many other positive acts of sportsmanship throughout the contest and very much appreciated them, thank you to both teams. Keep up the awesome work and have a great 2022 season!
