Waupun @ Beaver Dam
Sept. 18, 2018

My partner and I recently had the honor of officiating a great volleyball rivalry between Waupun and Beaver Dam. There was huge crowd with a large contingency of students from both schools. The play was competitive throughout the evening. The students raised their voices on countless occasions to cheer for their team. The enthusiasm between the two student sections was done with class, as well as very loud voices. It was a tournament atmosphere throughout the evening, which made for a very special evening for the players, coaches, and those of us officiating. It was representative of what high school sports should all be about.

Fort Atkinson @ Lake Mills
Sept. 13, 2018

The night was hot, muggy with a lot of mosquitoes but that did not deter the exhibition of a lot of good sportsmanship by both teams.The game was physical but when there was a hard tackle and the players went down, the opposing players were there to help up their opponents.The game resulted in a 5 to 5 tie and was memorable not only for the exceptional play but because both teams were respectable and polite to each other and the officials.

Hayward/La Courte Oreilles @ Spooner
Sept. 7, 2018

I am a firm believer in accentuating the positive. I would like to commend both Spooner and Hayward/Lac Courte Oreilles student-athletes, coaches, students, parents, and community members for their exceptional exhibition of sportsmanship during Friday's football contest. All parties involved displayed what an extension of the classroom should look like by displaying positivity through out the contest. Both communities should be proud of the sportsmanship they displayed.
