Ripon-Waupun, part III

The regional semifinal matchup we've all been waiting for will happen Thursday night (weather permitting).

Ripon, which has been on a roll recently, will play at rival Waupun. It seems these teams always meet in the playoffs in every sport at some point.

To review a little bit of the recent history of the rivalry, Ripon's Scott Gillespie scored 52 points in the last meeting, but Aris Wurtz had 27 and Ryan Rasmussen scored 24 as Waupun prevailed 86-81 on Feb. 16. If you want some video of the game, click here.

The teams also met in a regional final for baseball last spring (Waupun won) and a regional final for hoops last winter (Ripon won).

Thursday's game should be a dandy. Pray that the roads are clear.
