What a victory for Fondy

I'm not going to rush out and buy a bunch of Powerball tickets or anything, but I think I'm psychic.

Before Doug Whiteley left to cover Tuesday's Fond du Lac-Oshkosh North boys basketball game, I mentioned that I had a feeling that Fondy would put up a fight. North was coming off a huge game against Oshkosh West just a few nights earlier, and after the disappointment of losing that game may have had a hard time focusing on the gameplan for the Cardinals.

But, to be completely honest, I didn't think they'd win the game.

It's a huge win for the Cards, and is easily the biggest win for Adam Zakos in his short time here.

Looking at the way the schedule shakes out, if Fondy puts together a nice run in the second half here, it could finish in the top half of the Fox Valley Association. What a feat that would be, considering the team had two 30-point losses to North and Appleton West in the first half of the season and has had to deal with injuries to key contributors.

Let's see how Fondy comes out against Kimberly on Friday night. A victory over the Papermakers would send a clear message to the rest of the league that things are starting to come around in this neck of the woods.
