Middleton @ Wausau West Invitational
Jan. 11, 2025

I had the privilege of officiating the Wausau West invitational. One of the contests involved the boys hockey team from Middleton. The coaching staff, players and parents demonstrated excellent sportsmanship before during and after the game. It was very refreshing as an official to work a game with such a  disciplined team and great fans. I look forward to seeing this team again down the road!

Pittsville @ Tri-County
Dec. 17, 2024

The game was not close in the second half, Pittsville was in control the entire way. The Tri-County players were frustrated by their play, but Pittsville was well-coached and kept their cool and did not respond to anything being said or did not react negatively to their frustration. There was about eight minutes to go,, and there was a lot of contact on an errant pass and two players hit the floor. While the Tri-County players went the other way #15 (Dylan Luther) for Pittsville ran over picked up his teammate and also helped the Tri-County player, gave him some words of encouragement and went on with his business. It was a selfless act, that took little extra effort, but it stood out to me as a Sportsmanship Plus kind of act.

Sheboygan Falls @ Two Rivers

I want to commend your players and coaching staff of the boys basketball program. My crew worked this game and the players on the floor were outstanding with their behavior. The coach was very under control and showed the sportsmanship that all kids and programs should have. It was not a close game and the coach kept teaching and the players worked very hard and that is what athletics is all about. Keep up the good work putting a great product of sportsmanship on the hardwood. It was a pleasure working with your school.
