Roncalli @ Brillion
April 28, 2023

It is wonderful to see student athletes exhibit positive acts of sportsmanship before, during, and after a varsity baseball game, especially on a glorious afternoon at Shimek Field in Brillion. Roncalli’s Jack Hyde and Victor Anzia, as well as Brillion’s Bryar Foytik and Austin Meyer, exemplify what it means to be great sportsman and leaders of a team. Jason and I wanted to congratulate these young men for this much appreciated display of showmanship and positive attitude. Thank you to Coach Stangel and Coach Shimek for your positive leadership by example on and off the field, it was noticed by many.

Sheboygan Lutheran @ Hilbert
April 27, 2023

Listed here are four young men who appreciate and share positive sportsmanship with others: Mason Senkbeil and Asa Diener of Sheboygan Lutheran, and Coltin Casper and Zander Kopp of Hilbert. 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. I was especially impressed with Asa and Coltin as catchers of their teams in the positive conversations they had with opponents (obviously knew each other) and with me, the plate umpire. Thank you for the life lessons and car buying advice! Sheboygan Lutheran and Hilbert school district administrators should be proud of their respectful student athletes. Keep up the great work and have a fun season.

Medford @ Antigo
May 4, 2023

We had the extreme honor of working an awesome Great Northern Conference baseball game. The atmosphere was amazing. The field was beautiful. The teams were both well- prepared and well-coached. There was great sportsmanship throughout. Fans players coaches were simply stunning. We want to congratulate BOTH of these programs/schools. Both communities should be proud of their respective squads. This is what WIAA sports should strive to be.

It was 40 degrees with winds out of the north at 30 mph. It did not interfere with two teams showing great efforts and sportsmanship. Both teams coaches and fans expressed what WIAA sports could/should be. We want to congratulate these communities on how their respective teams operate. Great job and kudos to all involved.

Dodgeville @ Monona Grove
April 28, 2023

I would like to commend the Monona Grove girls' JV Softball team and their coach, Barb Walters, for giving each umpire, after the game, a special card of appreciation for umpiring their game. The card was signed by all the girls on the team. In part the card read, "Thank you for your support of high school athletics! We appreciate you taking the time tonight to officiate our game...." I might add, the Dodgeville players and coaches were also very polite after the game.
