Sports Report PLUS

Racine Case vs. Appleton East & Waupun @ Waupun
Sept. 7, 2024

This is actually a four-part Sportsmanship Plus recognition. It covers both a varsity team and its JVs. I officiated two Racine Case JV games and two varsity games today. The first JV game was as half of the two-man system, and I was on the parents' side. For the second JV game, I was center. The second and fourth games of the day were both as AR2 (parents' side) of Case's varsity games, which put me in front of Case's parents. Racine Case teams were stelar in the way they handled themselves, treated their teammates and interacted with their opponents -- the coaches were also great. I also want to recognize the varsity and the JV parents. It was obvious these student-athletes are being raised by some great role models. In conclusion, all of this was 100 percent of the time, spanning 7.5 hours from beginning to end. It was a long day and there were actually many specifics that lead up to this Sportsmanship Plus recognition.

Lourdes Academy/Valley Christian @ Berlin

I guess the best way to describe player #29 for Berlin is that I had many young enlisted working for me throughout my career in the Air Force, and he acted (and interacted) like the best of the best that I ever had, and he can't be that much younger than some of those airmen!

Onalaska @ Tomah
May 9, 2024

I wanted to take a moment to thank Coach Wall and Coach Heit for their work leading the softball programs at Tomah and Onalaska. The sportsmanship displayed by these two teams was outstanding. Madison Johnson, your hustle and positive words of encouragement towards your teammates was noticed. Pitarre Olson, your positive attitude was contagious. It was great to be part of this high school game.
