If you're the dad of a PeeWee girls hockey player and you find it necessary to drop an F*Bomb on a high school kid reffing the game and then make a huge scene after you get kicked out of the rink...you're a big reason why there is a shortage of officials these days....

You're a sophomore on St Mary's Springs...you catch a 49 yard TD pass..return a kickoff 86 yards for a score and run 33 yards for a TD in a 41-0 win. How does Coach Bob Hyland keep you humble?....Exit Stage Right.... #wisfb

Maty Wilke may have been the the most complete girls high school basketball player I've seen in my nearly 30 years covering the sport! She could do it all on both ends of the floor. AND she has been a great role model to my three daughters and the youth of our community....1/2

Not a fan of the "Great season, we'll get them next year" response by fans after the team you follow loses deep in playoffs. You don't know if that chance will ever come again. Be mad that a golden opportunity was lost. Heard it at Miller Park last fall and reading it tonight.

If your school isn't allowing radio/video into games because of the pandemic, its understood, but please try your best to provide more than a video feed with no audio. Even just natural sounds of the gym would help. Fans would appreciate it. Just a suggestion from a guy.
