Lucky Wurtz is an assistant coach on the Laconia girls basketball team that won the D4 state title. So happy for Lucky. One of the nicest people ever. #HSGT

Germantown fan just got kicked out for heckling the referees. I wish that would happen more often. These refs are giving it their all during a pandemic and have not been appreciated. #HSGT.

Explain this: Milwaukee Marshall (6-2) is a #1 seed in D1. It canceled its game with Kimberly (7-1), has a lesser record and didn't come close to playing the schedule Kimberly did. It is nowhere to be found in state rankings. Kimberly is literally one play away from being 8-0.

Sectionals have never been the same since they were taken away from Brown County Arena and the Kolf Center. So many coaches have told me they wish the sectionals were still there. Awesome atmosphere. Those games were similar to the state tournament.

Jimmy LaBlonde was my son Ethan's favorite teacher. To learn of his passing is devastating. He was a great person and coach and I always enjoyed our talks. He will be missed. #RIP.

Freedom will be without star guard Gabby Johnson for today’s D2 sectional final at Notre Dame. Her sister passed away earlier this week due to a ski accident, and she also missed Thursday’s sectional semifinal. Pray for the family. #Prayersup.

With the likes of Oshkosh, Ashwaubenon and Bay Port electing to move forward with winter sports, in addition to other conferences and schools, it appears kids are getting a much-needed chance to play sports. Cross your fingers it goes well. #HSGT.

This is great as Ray Allen talks about how former @gbphoenixmbb star @norgy33 influenced him to be a better shooter.
NBA LEGEND and one of the greatest shooters of all-time Ray Allen went on JJ Reddick’s podcast and shouted out @gbphoenixmbb legend Jeff Nordgaard as, and I’m not kidding, one of the biggest motivators for him becoming such a great shooter. Very nice shoutout.

I would like to see the FRCC do what the FVA does when there are rivalry games: Make them girls-boys doubleheaders. @BayPortBoysBB plays at @DePereHoops tonight, while @DPGirlsBB plays at @BPgirlsBball. Why not allow fans to see both games? The atmosphere would be great.

The boys basketball season is over, and what a treat it was. It was great to see kids playing, and doing what they love. This would have been a lost winter without basketball. Congrats to all the team that played. This was a "special" season and the efforts won't be forgotten.
