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.

Dodgeville @ Monona Grove

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.

Both teams, coaches and players, showed exceptional sportsmanship. I did not hear any negative words towards any officials or players. No complaining about any close plays or balls and strikes. If all teams showed this type of sportsmanship there would be more people wanting to umpire.
