A couple of quick thoughts on this game before I enjoy the night:
1. If Waupun is going to make it to the state tournament, it will have as much to do with its senior class as it will Ryan Rasmussen and Aris Wurtz. While the juniors get the headlines, the seniors do a lot of dirty work that doesn't get noticed. Seth Hopp had a fantastic game tonight, and when he made a 3-pointer late in the game, your could just sense the fear in other teams that may cross Waupun's path. It's bad enough they have to worry about Rasmussen and Wurtz, but if Bresser and Hopp start hitting their shots, it's going to be a tall task for anyone to beat the Warriors.
2. There is no coach that physically expends more energy on the sideline than Lucky Wurtz.
3. Berlin is a good team and one that shouldn't be taken lightly come tournament time. The Indians were playing without leading scorer Jordan Gerth and still gave Waupun all it could handle. Berlin and Waupun wouldn't cross paths in the tournament until a sectional semifinal, which means the Indians would probably have to upset several Valley 8 teams first. I wouldn't be surprised if that happened.
4. There was a nice crowd on hand for the game, but I thought the Waupun faithful were rather quiet. It might have had to do with the fact they were facing directly toward me, but I thought Berlin's students were much, much louder than any other group in that gym.
