Waupun on verge of putting it away

Nothing will be official until at least next week, but the Waupun boys basketball team can all but end the East Central Flyway Conference championship discussion by beating Berlin tonight.

With a 5-0 record in league play and Berlin and Winneconne tied for second at 3-2, a Waupun victory would give it a three-game lead over everyone but the Wolves with four games to play.

I was on Bob Hoffmaster's radio show this morning talking about the Warriors and he brought up a good point that clinching the conference so early might not be beneficial to their playoff hopes. Granted, every team is going to go out and try to win every game, but how much would it hurt Waupun if it doesn't play a meaningful game over the last two or three weeks of the season?

Clinching early may definately be a problem. The last competitive game they had was against Brown Deer and they unfortunatley lost that one. The conference is weak and I hope that doesn't come back to bite them. Even though I'm from Ripon, I hope they make it to state and do the area proud.
