I never like being one of those guys that say something and immediately proclaims it to be the greatest performance he's ever seen. That's why this blog remained silent on Waupun's 69-62 win over Berlin last night in a WIAA Division 2 sectional semifinal.
After a night of deep soul-searching, meditating and some MLB2K7, I've come to the conclusion that it's the best performance I've ever seen, and probably the best performance this area has seen in some time.
Sure, the Dieners had some great shooting nights. I heard stories that Travis Diener dropped 40 on Oshkosh West one night and forced Steve Randall to bring the double-team as soon as he crossed half-court.
While 33 points isn't all that eye-popping, it was the way that Rasmussen did it. The fact that 19 of it came in the last 8:01 of the game. The fact he did it with four fouls. The fact it helped Waupun come back from a 13-point deficit.
Regardless of what happens Saturday, Rasmussen probably earned him a scholarship somewhere with that stretch alone.
