Waupun. Waupun. Waupun. Waupun. Waupun. Waupun.
Waupun. Waupun. Waupun.
Waupun.
Waupun. Waupun.
There's not much left to say after last night other than Waupun.
So, Waupun.
How 'bout them Warriors? What a display on both sides of the ball. There's no doubt that they are the class of not only the ECFC, but our area. To beat a good football team like WLA by 41 points is no small feat, and depending on the matchups for the playoffs, this is a team that could get down to Madison.
But you'll hear enough about the Warriors in the next few days, so I wanted to share some of my thoughts on the other things that transpired last night.
North Fondy has some players: Although the Orioles lost to Springs, 45-6, I was really impressed with several of their players. Sam Goldapske plays both ways and he makes a big impact on both sides of the ball. Offensively, he isn't going to break a big run, but he's very consistent on the ground and doesn't go down easily. Defensively, he flies to the ball and can really smack you in the mouth. Quarterback Scott Woicek throws a nice ball and made some great throws on Friday night. And John Cetnar fills in the gaps everywhere else and provides fantastic leadership. Unfortunately for North Fondy, Woicek, Goldapske and Cetnar are all seniors, but coach Nathan Lehman told me last night that the seniors are getting the underclassmen excited about playing football again. Hopefully that gets those underclassmen in the weight room this summer.
Every cloud has a silver lining: While Fondy lost its second straight game, the Cardinals can hang their hat on the fact they scored 28 points, which is the most they've had all season and broke a six-week string of games in which they scored 14 points or less. Unfortunately for Fondy, its 30-28 loss to Appleton West may have sent it on the road in the first round of the playoffs. I don't want to explain the rules for seeding playoff teams, but conference record and conference finish are very important. The best Fondy can hope for now, realistically, is a tie for second place with a 6-3 record. Last year, that sent most of the FVA on the road. Possible first-round opponents for Fondy include Hartford, Manitowoc Lincoln, Homestead, or any of the Big Eight teams.
Short week ahead: The next two weeks are going to be kind of crazy around here, but I'll try to keep this thing updated as much as possible. Playoff brackets come out on Friday, and I plan to be in the office hitting refresh on the WIAA homepage until they do. Check back here and at www.fdlreporter.com for updates all week, plus coverage of Week 9 games.

Breaking down this week's big game
All eyes (well, except mine) will be on Friday's WLA-Waupun game. My co-worker, Doug Whiteley, will be at this game while I check out Nathan Lehman's North Fond du Lac squad against St. Mary's Springs.
Still, I'll be hoping that my walkman can pick up the signal of WFDL-AM 1170. I'll be interested to see how this one turns out.
WLA has exceeded almost everyone's expectations this season. I would have thought next week's Ripon-Waupun game would have decided the East Central Flyway. But with Ripon stumbling and WLA soaring, this is the game of the year in the ECFC.
WLA's defense is legit. The Vikings' linebackers are among the best I've seen this year, and they fly to the ball. Of course, the defensive line makes that all possible.
The question is if that defense can slow down Waupun. The Warriors have been scoring a lot of points lately, albeit against what some would call inferior competion. Still, Waupun spreads the ball around on offense. One night, it's Luke Marwitz. The next, Wade Williams. And then it's Matt Pollock. There's not one guy that you can key on, and even if you gear up to stop the run, Ryan Rasmussen is good enough to make plays from the quarterback position (I'd imagine Waupun is pretty good at throwing screens).
While that may be the game's biggest draw, I think the key to this game is what Waupun brings to the table on defense. There was a two-week stretch in September in which the Warriors gave up 65 points, including 42 in a loss to Denmark. Now, WLA's offense isn't anything to write home about but Spenser Hicks and Ethan Geis are more than capable at the running back position. WLA's passing game has been MIA as of late, but I'll be coach Mark McCormick is finding a way to make it viable once again. Will we see Paul Heinkel as a wide receiver again? Eric Reed had a few snaps at QB against Winneconne, and while the Vikings didn't complete a pass in that game, maybe it's a sign that he's ready to come back to the fray.
I'd still say that Waupun is the favorite in this one, but I'm very interested to see what WLA will do on offense. I think 20 points is the magic number. If WLA can get to 20 points, I think they can win this game.

Playoff division breakdown
A while back an anonymous comment asked if any teams may switch divisions come playoff time.
To clear a few things up, technically there are no divisions for football in the regular season. The divisions created by the rankings serve that purpose only and are determined by seperating all schools by enrollment. 224 schools make the playoffs. The largest 32 are placed in Division 1, the next 32 are in Division 2 and so on.
While this sometimes is reflected in the football playoff pairings, often times you have a team jump up a division or drop down.
Looking at the teams in our area, there are a few that could change divisions.
WLA is one of the smaller teams in Division 4. If a large number of teams in the first three divisions qualify for the playoffs, the Vikings could find themselves as one of the larger teams in Division 5.
Ripon was one of the biggest schools in Division 4 last year. In fact, during last year's WIAA Division 3 state championship game, I ran into coach Rick Kelm, who had just won the D4 championship the night before. He told me that it was only a matter of time before Ripon's expanding enrollment pushed the Tigers into Division 3.
Although it's no longer a team in our area, Horicon may play up a division as well. It is one of the larger schools in Division 5, and according to one playoff matrix I've seen, it is currently the largest playoff-eligible school in the division.

Brief Friday Night Insight
Just thought I'd share a few random thoughts before I try to catch a few hours of sleep.
Fondy's lack of offensive firepower finally caught up with it. The Cardinals have yet to get into an offensive rhythm all night. The defense is playing as well as it could, but the offense needs to hold up to its end of the bargin as well. Another loss would probably end any hopes of Fondy getting to host a playoff game at Fruth.
Was there something in the water this week? We had four teams in the area score at least 50 points. Campbellsport beat Two Rivers, 52-0, Kettle Moraine Lutheran beat North Fond du Lac, 63-13, Waupun beat Omro, 66-22, and Horicon beat Markesan, 76-18. SEVENTY-SIX!
Maybe a little rally was just the spark Ripon needs to turn its season around. Scott Gillespie helped key a 14-point fourth quarter in a 28-20 victory over Berlin. Provided Ripon can beat Omro next week, the Tigers will be back in the playoffs, so all hope is not lost on defense of their state title.

John Weninger... not too shabby
Even though he had the lowest offensive output of the season, John Weninger still put on a pretty good show in Lomira's 21-0 loss to Springs on Friday night. I'm glad I made the trip.
Lomira does have some pretty big boys on the offensive line that create nice running lanes, but a lot of what Weninger does he creates on his own. He has very quick feet, and while he may not be the fastest running back speed-wise in the area, he has the best moves of anyone I've seen this year.
Imagine how good he'd be if Lomira had a balanced attack. The Lions tried one screen pass and Springs wasn't fooled. Only a handful of the runs were to the outside. Most of what he did, he did between the tackles and with about eight or nine Springs players within five yards.
I can only imagine a guy like Weninger at Mayville. Imagine where he'd fit in with that attack, running draws or screen passes.
But as is, he's had a very good season at Lomira. The Lions have their work cut out for them with games against Mayville and Horicon in the next few weeks. Lomira needs to win one if it wants to make the playoffs.
No matter what happens with the outcome of those games, I think its safe to say you won't find a better running back in this neck of the woods than John Weninger.

Hop in my time machine
My regular round of radio pre-game show stops won't commence until 5:30 or so, but you can "listen" into the future and hear my Ripon pregame show interview by clicking here. You can listen in advance, and then place bets* with your friends as to what I'll say next when the actual segment airs on the radio.
In case you want to wait for the real thing, here are the approximate times I'll be talking nonsensical gibberish on the air:
5:30 p.m. - WFDL-AM 1170
6:30 p.m. - KFIZ-AM 1450
6:45 p.m. - WRPN-AM 1600
Tune in, if you can, and compliment my mascuiline voice.
Also, check out at www.fdlreporter.com tonight for score updates. I don't think that Lomira has wireless internet, so I won't be doing a live blog tonight. But I'll be sure to share all my comments with you in due time.
* gambling is for entertainment purposes only **
** if you win, I get at least 30 percent of all profits (food also accepted)

Look out Lomira, here I come
Seriously. It would be nice if you kept an eye out for me, because I have a tendency to get lost. So wave your arms and holler my name.
Because I don't want to miss my one shot of seeing John Weninger in action.
The Lomira running back has been one of the major stories of this season. I believe he has rushed for a little more than 92,000 yards and has scored 82 touchdowns. (Actually, I may have exagerrated. You can click here for his actual stats).
I decided it's about time I see what all the fuss is about. I'll be live and in color from Lomira High tonight when the Lions take on reeling St. Mary's Springs. The matchup itself may not seem all that glamarous, but there are some story lines.
One of them is Weninger himself. I keep wondering when a team is going to figure out how to stop him. You'd think that a guy that gets the ball 30-35 times a game would eventually run out of steam. But not Weninger. I think there were two times this year where he's had every yard of the Lions' game-winning drive.
I can't believe he's doing it alone. He's got to have a pretty good offensive line, and I'll get to check them out. I know that Lomira has a pretty good defense as well.
I'll also be interested to see how Springs handles the game. It hasn't been a great year for the Ledgers, we all know that. But I also know that they still have one of the best coaches ever in Bob Hyland, and they still aren't done yet. Last year Springs needed to win its last game of the season just to finish .500 in the conference and get into the playoffs.
Once they were in, they made it all the way to Madison. Don't think it can't happen again. But they have to win tonight.

Must-wins for some?
Last year, St. Mary's Springs and Ripon played in a state championship game. The Tigers even won.
Now, both teams are in desperate need of a victory, and their playoff hopes may depend on it.
If you need a playoff refresher, I'm not sure I have the mental capacity to explain all the nuances to you. The gist of the story is: if you finish with a winning record in conference (above .500), you are in the show. If you finish with a losing record in conference (below .500), you are not in the show.
And if you finish dead even in conference play (.500), it's possible the loose change in Doug Chickering's pocket could decide your fate.
There are 224 teams that make the playoffs. If the number of teams with winning conference records is less than 224, then they add the teams with .500 conference records. If there are more than the number of spots available, one of the deciding tiebreakers is a coin flip (after head-to-head and conference finish, I think). Now, I'm not sure if Chickering, the WIAA executive director actually does the coin flip with the change from his own pocket, although I'd like to believe that's what happens.
I guess all .500 teams made the playoffs last year. I know for a fact that in 2003, Markesan lost a coin flip that kept it out of the playoffs. They were the only team to miss that year.
So if you finish with a .500 record, chances are good that you will get in, but you may be leaving it to chance.
At this point, that's the best Springs can hope for. With an 0-3 mark in the Wisconsin Flyway, the Ledgers need to win each of their last three games to have a shot.
Unless someone changes the rules of football and/or math, Ripon can't finish at .500. With five conference games Ripon can't lose more than two. The Tigers already lost a conference game against WLA. They have Waupun coming up in the last game of the year, and the way the Warriors are playing right now, I'm sure coach Rick Kelm would like it if he didn't have to win that game just to make the playoffs.
What does all that mean? Ripon has to beat Berlin tonight. Has to.
So, while the matchups this week may not be all that intriguing, we've got a state champion and a state runner-up from last year facing must-win games just to make the playoffs.
And once again, I can't find a word that begins the letter F to describe it.

It's a sad day
I'm sure by now that most of you have heard about Luke Homan, the former Brookfield Central star and current UW-La Crosse reserve basketball player whose body was pulled from the Mississippi River on Monday morning.
I really don't feel like going into the details. You can read about them here.
I remember Luke from his high school days. I was a stringer for the Waukesha Freeman and covered a few Central basketball games. What I remember most about him was his range. He had no problem pulling up from 25 feet and letting it fly. Astute Fondy fans will remember him as well. Central played against Fondy in the 2002 and 2003 state tournaments.
My heart goes out to Luke's family and friends and the entire UW-La Crosse community.

Friday Night Insight
It's hard to believe that 2/3 of the season is already behind us, and in less than a month, we'll be down to a handful of teams in each division.
As always, there were some things that stood out for me on Friday night. And as always, I'll share them with you here.
Fondy's confidence grows: Say what you will about an offense that doesn't seem to score all that much, but you'd be hard pressed to find a team with more confidence than Fondy right now. Lesser teams would have buckled against the Wildcats on Friday night but the Cardinals somehow found a way to get the job done on defense against a very, very good offensive team. Aside from a 30-yard pass that set up West's first touchdown, I didn't see much from quarterback Tyler Wegner, although he did have two receivers drop passes. Sure, Agrell ran for 167 yards, but he never broke the big one (for a touchdown at least). At the beginning of the year I thought that Fondy was going to be a borderline playoff team, two weeks ago I thought they'd be out in the first round, but now I'm starting to think that this is a team that could stick around for a while come November.
How 'bout those Orioles: You knew it was going to happen eventually. North Fond du Lac picked up its first win since Oct. 25, 2002, when it beat Princeton 36-7 on Friday night. Scott Woicek was a monster, running for 249 yards. Princeton just could not stop North Fondy's offense. Congratulations to coach Nate Lehman and the rest of his staff for giving those kids something to be proud of heading into next season.
Look out for New Holstein: OK, let's all pay attention to New Holstein now. The Huskies pulled off a big victory over Kiel, beating them 23-16 in overtime to stay atop the Eastern Wisconsin Conference and punch their ticket for their second playoff appearance since 1998. I'll admit that I had written them off after a couple of tough losses early in the season, but now they are legit title contenders... provided they can win at least two of three against Plymouth, Kewaskum and Sheboygan Falls.
Horicon is good: Don't think I need to say much more about that. Mayville's not going to see that type of speed the rest of the year.

You're looking live (at a blog from) Titan Stadium on the shores of the Fox River in Oshkosh, Wisconsin....
Forgive the Brent Musberger intro, but I get a little worked up for these things. It's about 35 minutes before kickoff of Oshkosh West and Fond du Lac. Check back here often for updates, insight and general sarcastic humor throughout the night.
You can also click here for updated scores and highlights from other games. My radio isn't working too well because of the rainy weather in the area, but I'll also post scores here as I hear of them.
Thanks for reading!
32 minutes before kickoff: I just thought I should let everyone know that there is more media here than for some lower level college games. I think I'm the only print media person, but there are two radio stations and two public access television stations set up to call this game. I'm occupying a box that is supposed to be used by WRST, the UW-Oshkosh student station, but I don't think they call games. At least I hope they don't, because I'm rather comfy and don't want to move.
8:37, first quarter: Aside from an 11-yard run by Chris Agrell on the game's first play, neither team is doing much of anything. It looks like Fondy's Ben Anderson is having some troubles getting his feet underneath him on the FieldTurf at Titan, which is quite slick from a soft drizzle. Both teams punted on their first possession.
End 1st quarter, 0-0: It's still scoreless, but West is at the Fondy 45 and just converted a fourth-and-1.
***Oshkosh West 7, Fond du Lac 0, 9:18 left, 2nd quarter: Kyle Hanford scored on a 9-yard run for the Wildcats, but the play that set it all up was a 30-yard pass from Tyler Wegner to Jamie Braasch. That brought the ball to the Fondy 14, and a 5-yard run by Robert Reed set up Hanford's 9-yard score.
3:00 left, 2nd quarter: Fondy's Will Dhonau left the game with an apparent knee injury. He's been looked at on the sidelines right now and had to be helped off the field. West, meanwhile, is putting together another drive. Keeping the ball on the ground, the Wildcats are at midfield.
Oshkosh West 7, Fond du Lac 3, Halftime: Quite the turn of events here at Titan Stadium. After West and Fondy traded interceptions, a 73-yard run by Fondy's Paul Biolo brought the ball down to the West 22. An 11-yard run by Josh Korb set up a 28-yard field goal by Kyle Senn just before the second quarter ended. Prior to Korb's 73-yard run, Fondy only had 17 rushing yards and one first down. Fondy gets the ball to start the second half.
Halftime thoughts: Anyone that has seen this game is probably tickled pink that Fondy was able to scrap a field goal out of that first half. This game could very easily be 14-0 instead of 7-3. The Cards are having big trouble moving the ball, and Ben Anderson hasn't looked comfortable at all dropping back to pass. The turf is slick and the rain is starting to pick up a bit.
The defense has been playing well in spurts, and has contained Chris Agrell for the most part. Agrell only has 8 carries for 28 yards, but Kyle Hanford and Robert Reed have combined for an additional 47 rushing yards.
***Fond du Lac 10, Oshkosh West 7, 6:29 left, 3rd quarter: So much for not being able to move the ball. The Cardinals opened the second half with an 11-play, 64-yard drive capped on a 7-yard touchdown run by Mike Shea, his first carry of the game. Shea replaced fullback Steve Chesna, who was injured on the previous play but walked off the field on his own power.
End of the third quarter: Fondy has all the momentum in this game. West fumbled just as it was about to take the lead, but the Cardinals recovered in the end zone for a touchback. Anderson just completed a 17-yard pass to a wide-open Kyle Duquaine over the middle, and Fondy is moving the ball again.
4:01 left: Fondy is going to hand this game over to its defense. Facing a fourth-and-2 at the West 46, coach Brad Kozaczuk has elected to punt rather than risk going for it. Fondy leads 10-7.
2:00 left: Chris Agrell fumbled on what may be West's last possession of the game, and Fondy takes over at its own 35. Moments earlier, Agrell looked to have broken loose for the potential go-ahead score, but was dragged down at midfield after a 43-yard gain.
1:18 left: West has the ball at midfield after a 35-yard pass from Wegner to Jamie Braasch.
:56 left: It's all but over. Paul Biolo intercepted a tipped pass at the Fondy 13. West had its chances.
Fond du Lac 10, Oshkosh West 7: Once again, the Fondy defense holds tough. Forcing a fumble when West was nearing the goal line was probably the biggest play of the season for the Cardinals.
But the offense deserves credit, too. The 11-play, 64-yard drive to start the second half was a thing of beauty, and exactly what coach Brad Kozaczuk had in mind when he implemented this version of the wing-T offense.
With a playoff spot already in its pocket, Fondy now becomes West fans. The Wildcats play Kimberly next week, and probably needs to beat the Papermakers for Fondy to have a chance at least a share of the conference title.

Name or no name, Friday is here
I failed in my attempt to come up with a name that both encapsulates the emotion, excitement and signifigance of tonight's games and has the proper alliteration with "Friday." I beg your forgiveness.
I hope that my lack of creativity hasn't curtaied your excitement. If you aren't properly pumped, you can read our weekend preview. Although the written word sometimes fails in getting you properly prepared.
I will be making my usual rounds on various radio pregame shows. I'll be on the Coaches Playbook somewhere around 5:20 p.m. on WFDL-AM 1170. I'll be on the Ripon pregame show on WRPN-AM 1600 somewhere around 6:40-:50 and I'll be on KFIZ-AM 1450 around 6:30. Or, like always, just call my number at work and listen to my voice mail message if you long to hear me speak.
Keep coming back here for regular updates from tonight's West-Fondy game and visit www.fdlreporter.com for updated scores and highlights from around the area.
To tide you over until the action starts tonight, enjoy this little video of the greatest comeback in the history of college football.

How things work around here
Thanks to T-Unit's posts on various conference message boards on wissports.net, many of you have discovered this little corner of the Web for the first time.
Welcome.
I started this blog at the beginning of the summer to increase interaction between myself and the readers of The Reporter. I had some success with a similar effort when I worked at The Northwestern. I hope to have even more success here.
You'll find a potpurri of commentary, insight and links to interesting stories on this blog. And the occassional You Tube video.
I encourage comments. I crave feedback and dialogue with my readers. But before you leave a comment, please be considerate of others. I will not tolerate attacks on athletes, coaches or officials. Every comment you submit has to be approved before posting, so don't even try.
What I like to create is intelligent discussion that mostly centers on high school and other local sports, but sometimes deviates into other areas of sports.
So look around. Spread the word. Bookmark the page. Come back often.
I'll do my best to make it worth your while.

Not sure about you, but this freaked me out
While I'm sure Somerset fullback Jake Asp enjoys the national attention, he probably wishes it was for something else.
Asp rushed for 362 yards and five touchdowns in a win over New Richmond on Sept. 15, and the next day took a nap.
The rest, well, I'll let you read for yourself.
I'll be sleeping with cotton in my ears from now on.

Vandalism at Mayville?
There was some rumors spread on various Internet message boars that there was graffiti sprayed on Mayville's practice field. Mayville plays Horicon on Friday night in what is being dubbed the Marshbowl, the biggest regular season game for either team this season.
I talked to Mayville coach Tom Noennig on Wednesday night and he said that he heard the rumors, too, but never saw any actual vandalism.
Which is good. Stuff like that is just plain dumb. Sure, it's a big game and you are excited, but be a little more creative. Use it to enhance school spirit and keep it positive. There's no reason to ruin someone else's property.

Bestor named coach at Kettle Moraine
The Dick Diener coaching tree added another branch Wednesday when Brad Bestor, a 1995 grad of Fondy Goodrich, was hired at Kettle Moraine High School on Wednesday.
Bestor will replace Mark Ritter, who resigned last month. Brad previously was an assistant at Germantown, and before that coached with Tom Diener, Dick's brother, at Milwaukee Vincent.
As far as I'm concerned, Kettle Moraine is a sleeping giant. It's located in one of the fastest growing areas of Milwaukee and just completed major enhancements to its athletic facilities. I had a chance to talk to Brad on Wednesday, and he was blown away by the improvements.
We'll have a story coming in the next few days about Bestor's new job, but I will share this one nugget of information with you...
It's not going to be long before Bestor faces off against fellow Fondy alum Adam Zakos, the new coach of the Cardinals. The teams are schedule to take part in a preseason scrimmage hosted by Kettle Moraine during Thanksgiving weekend.

LIVE UPDATES!
Rumor has it Titan Stadium has wireless internet availability. Provided I can get the proper password, I'll be updating live from the Fondy-West game. So if you are stuck at home or at work, check back here for my witty insights.
Of course, you can always check back after the fact and see that I have no idea what I'm talking about when I make predictions like "So and so is going to have a big second half," or "There's no way Team A will lose this game."
Get pumped.

If only I worked at ESPN
I feel that Friday night needs a name. ESPN likes to go nuts with the "Showdown Saturdays" and "Seperation Saturdays" or "Semi-sedated Saturdays" for those weekends when most of the good teams have byes.
But Friday isn't as user-friendly as far as the snappy names are concerned. Maybe if I had a thesaraus things would be different. But I don't have a thesaraus. I have a newsroom and a camera. Wait, I mean I have a newspaper and a blog.
Sorry for the poor Anchorman reference. But yeah, this weekend needs a name.
Until I think of one, this is what we are looking at this weekend:
Fond du Lac at Oshkosh West: This is usually a big basketball rivalry, but there's a lot riding on this year's football matchup. The winner gets a spot in the playoffs and their conference championship hopes stay alive. West, however, still has yet to play Kimberly, a team that has yet to be challenged.
Horicon at Mayville: I guess this game means something to the people in these towns. I received a few e-mails this week saying that there was vandalism on Mayville's practice field. While I can't condone that, the excitement around the game has me intrigued. For more on the rivalry, visit the Mayville football site.
Sheboygan Falls at Kewaskum: Some of the luster was taken off this mathcup after both were upset by Kiel and Plymouth, respectively, but it still should be a good game. I've had both at No. 1 in my Division 3 poll at some point this year (Wisconsin Lutheran is my No. 1 now) and I'd think the winner of this game will have the inside track to the EWC title.
WLA at Ripon: The last two times these teams have met a trip to a state semifinal was on the line. And in both instances, Ripon smacked WLA in the mouth, including a 35-0 victory last year at Ingalls Field. But WLA is playing extremely well on defense lately, and may have the speed to keep up with Ripon's run game. The Tigers received a boost last week when David Soda returned to the offense and scored three rushing TDs. Soda, of course, broke his ankle against WLA last year.
Yeah, this weekend definitely needs a name, but Friday doesn't really go with anything. Fantastic Friday? Feature Friday? Fun Friday? All lame. Any others would make my bosses angry and my mother blush.
Still, you should get excited.
