An amazing play

One of the best plays I've ever seen in a high school game occurred for Randolph in its game against Christian Thursday.

Randolph senior Dan Tillema, who's a 6-4 pogo stick, threw down an authoritative slam off an inbounds pass from midcourt. I'm not sure what was more impressive - the hops of the 6-4 Tillema, or the pinpoint pass from 6-8 freshman Kyle Kelm.

If the Tillema name sounds familiar, he's the little brother of UW-Green Bay's Ryan Tillema. There's another Tillema, sophomore Tyler, who has long arms at 6-1 and looks like he might have another growth spurt in him.

As Christian coach Brett Flipse said "How do you defend that?"

He's probably not the only coach to face Randolph asking similar questions.
