Brief Friday Night Insight

Just thought I'd share a few random thoughts before I try to catch a few hours of sleep.

Fondy's lack of offensive firepower finally caught up with it. The Cardinals have yet to get into an offensive rhythm all night. The defense is playing as well as it could, but the offense needs to hold up to its end of the bargin as well. Another loss would probably end any hopes of Fondy getting to host a playoff game at Fruth.

Was there something in the water this week? We had four teams in the area score at least 50 points. Campbellsport beat Two Rivers, 52-0, Kettle Moraine Lutheran beat North Fond du Lac, 63-13, Waupun beat Omro, 66-22, and Horicon beat Markesan, 76-18. SEVENTY-SIX!

Maybe a little rally was just the spark Ripon needs to turn its season around. Scott Gillespie helped key a 14-point fourth quarter in a 28-20 victory over Berlin. Provided Ripon can beat Omro next week, the Tigers will be back in the playoffs, so all hope is not lost on defense of their state title.
