I was going to go to this game, but ended up watching the Badgers on TV and then stayed home. 20 point game, but was Randolph 17-0 after the first quarter followed by a 14-0 Catholic Central run. In the game I had Catholic Central, they fell behind 8 to Abundant Life in the first quarter before putting them away. Eventually those slow starts catch up with you.
Thought about heading down to the Kohl Center to watch some of the girls' tourney, but my wife needed some assistance with the baby last night at home.
It'll be different watching those 3-person crews on TV next season. 'Bout time.

Rich...
My partner and I went over to Fort Atkinson HS Friday night to watch Randolph vs. Racine Lutheran. It was a pretty good game to watch....Randolph started slow with the game very similar to the game we had when they played Wayland Acadamy. There was a better match up in personnel...but the Lutheran slow down failed to stay disiplined and Randolph got Lutheran into a run game and it was over. I didn't think Randolph (Sat. nite) would have as easy a game with Catholic Central with all the news reports about their big player John Henney. Apparently he got into foul trouble and his replacement wasn't a good match for Tillema. It appears Randolph will get its 4th State title in a row!
Three crew couldn't come soon enough! I may get an opportunity to get to the KOHL to catch some games. My partner may get his brother's tickets...if so, I'd like to catch Randolph one last time....but hope to see Madison Memorial and Beloit Memorial if possible. Thought I'd get a chance to see my 'ol Alma Mater....Janesville Craig get to State....but Beloit held all the cards Saturday night. Felt bad about Elkhorn missing out too! (We've got Madison Memorial v. Madison West next year on our schedule). Hope Boyce Hodge has mellowed out since his tirade last year. Heard he made some negative statements about the officials who had that game. He seemed to be a good guy when I met him at last October's WBCA Hall of Fame dinner. He and his wife sat at the same table with me. He thought I looked too young to be receiving my 30 year plaque from WBCA. Guess my "bald" head makes me look younger????
Oh well....time to relax and do my NCAA brackets and wean myself from basketball officiating for another season until the summer camps and "sweat leagues".
Take care...maybe we'll bump into each other in Madison this weekend!

I have some comments about the Boyce incident, but I think they are better addressed by email. I'll send them to you if I get a chance this week. But I will say that I'd work there and work for Boyce anytime. I worked one of his games against Memorial last season at West. Even though they ended up losing the game, Boyce was very gracious to us before, during, and after the game. I have West again next season, hosting Parker on a Saturday afternoon.
