Check back for North-Fondy updates
Check back here for quarterly updates on tonight's boys basketball regional semifinal between Sheboygan North and Fond du Lac.
North is 14-6 overall, while Fondy comes in at only 6-14, but most North fans who have been around for a while know that records mean very little in terms of this bitter rivalry, especially for the Raiders.
Fondy has beaten North six straight times in the playoffs. And because it hails from the Fox Valley Association - consistently a better league that North's FRVC - the Cardinals cannot be taken lightly.

Oostburg nuggets and notes
Some nuggets picked up at Oostburg's regional title-winning game:
- The 46-31 final score is not indicative of how close this game was. In fact, the 15-point margin ultimately came in one stretch in the first quarter. After North Fondy took a 6-3 lead, Oostburg scored the next 15 points.
- Once again, teams simply collapse on Megan Van Tatenhove, using a 2-3 zone and begging anybody other than her to beat them. Once again, the rest of the Dutch jumped at the chance to launch open 3's with success.
- Oostburg point guard Kelsey TeBeest was expected to be the key to this game, matching up with North Fondy sharp shooter Tori Fink. Instead, TeBeest was limited due to foul trouble, fouled out midway through the fourth quarter and didn't score or have a rebound. And Fink scored 16 points, more than half her teams' total. The fact that the Dutch still won is a credit to the overall team defense, especially the perimeter D on this night.
- Next up is The Hope School, a second-year program with no seniors. But don't be fooled by that stat. Hope will run and gun you to death. Against that aggressive style, Oostburg's key will be its ball handling and free throw shooting, two things that didn't necessarily go so well on this night. The Dutch had 16 turnovers and shot 15-of-29 from the line.
- Oostburg coach Tom DePagter also showed his explosive first step. At one point in the game, DePagter reached for his water bottle, but it squired out of his hands and was launched onto the court. With play going on at the other end of the floor, DePagter made a mad dash for his bottle before the players came charging back his way.
- North Fond du Lac's pep band made a classy gesture following the game, playing Oostburg's school song. The Dutch faithful stood and clapped and acknowledged the Orioles' band for their effort.

Kissel celebration Today
Oostburg high school has a welcome home celebration for Kissel planned for 2 p.m. Sunday in the gym, weather permitting.
"If we can shovel our way in there," coach Steve Rogers joked.

Empty seats
For the first time since I can remember, there are empty seats scattered around the upper deck of the Kohl Center. This is rare, because the wrestling finals are the hottest WIAA tournament tickets around.
I wonder if the snow the Madison area got Friday and the dumping the state's expecting tonight had anything to do with that. My guess is yes.
I wonder if the snow the Madison area got Friday and the dumping the state's expecting tonight had anything to do with that. My guess is yes.
Entertaining the crowd
It's about 25 minutes before the Kohl Center darkens for the walk of champions and the wrestlers are getting restless.
A number of competitors in tonight's finals did leapfrogs over each other, down the three mats that will be used. It drew smiles from the wrestlers who took part and applause from the crowd starting to settle in. Perhaps it settled the nerves for the wrestlers who took part.
Brandon Garcia took part in the leap frogs, taking in all the experiences for a first-time state finalist.
A.J. Kissel watched and continued his pre-match routine.
The few minutes before the finals start is always intense. The WIAA runs a video of every qualifier as the athletes march in for the walk of champions. Even if you're not a wrestling fan, any fan of high school sports should experience it at least once.

Wrestleback rule at State
Count me in the "no" category for the 3rd place wrestleback rule at State.
This is one of the nuances of the sport that someone who isn't involved with it doesn't completely understand; I've covered more than 10 of these state tournaments and I still have to think the concept through.
Anyway, the wrestlebacks give early-round losers a chance to improve their spot on the medal stand and are supposed to provide a better representation of the top wrestlers on the stand.
Unfortunately, the rule hurts kids like Cedar Grove senior Nick Wendt, who pulled an upset to reach the semifinals (top 4) and somehow goes home with a sixth-place medal.
It's too bad for Wendt, who did reach the stand in his first and only state trip, but also lost three matches at State - in this instance the last three of his career.
The format also allows room for rematches - another flaw that shouldn't happen. Ozaukee's Mitch Lubner benefited from the rule, beating Eric Sutliff of Boyceville 4-2 in his fifth-place match after he lost 7-0 to Sutliff earlier in the tournament. According to The Appleton Post-Crescent's Pat Goff, there were 20 rematches on the weekend.
If you beat a guy once at State, that should be enough. A kid shouldn't have to rematch in the same tournament. And if a guy pulls an upset, he should be rewarded for that.
It's not the end of the world, but it seems like a rule that really didn't need to be implemented.

Quick work for Kissel
Oostburg's A.J. Kissel needed all of 32 seconds to pin Markesan's Eric Schwandt in a Division 3 quarterfinal at 17 1 pounds.
Kissel got a takedown about 4 seconds into the match, and also got a fan in Schwandt, who's only goal was not to get pinned by the two-time state champion.
"He's the most aggressive wrestler I've ever seen," said Schwandt (28-10).
Schwandt knew what he was up against when finding out he was paired against Kissel (41-0), who has pinned 30 opponents this season and has 116 for his career, ranking him second all-time in the state.
"He intimidated me," Schwandt said. "He walks around in warmups, slaps his legs, and lets you know who's boss. He doesn't look as strong as he is, but he must work out a lot.
"He's also a great guy, wishing me luck after the match. I'm pulling for him."

Good day for Cedar Grove, Falls struggling
Cedar Grove-Belgium got its second wrestler into tonight's finals when sophomore Brandon Garcia pinned Stratford's Kevin Bubolz in 1:44 at 135 pounds. He faces Zeb Secrist of Cochran Fountain City-Alma (44-1). Garcia joins Nick Wendt (103) in the finals.
Senior Jon Walvoord, who finished third at 112 last year, was pinned in his quarterfinal match and will try to wrestleback to third this year.
Meanwhile, Sheboygan Falls, which qualified the most area wrestlers, is struggling. All six Falcons who competed Thursday lost, and the string has continued today. Freshman 103 pounder Nathan Brown lost his quarterfinal 10-0 and Tony Johnson suffered his second loss of the season with a 4-1 loss to Tony Madigan of Lodi. Brown and Johnson wrestle later today in consolations and can still take thirds, but the state meet so far has to be a disappointment for coach Fred Brown.

Surprises at Division 3 103
It was assumed at least one Division 3 wrestler from the area would be in tonight's semifinal matches.
There is one, but not the senior everyone expected.
Oostburg's J.J. Froelich, the state's top-ranked 103-pounder in Division 3, was upset 5-4 by Bubba Gudis of Bruce in the quarterfinals.
But the area wasn't shut out of the semis in that class. Cedar Grove-Belgium's Nick Wendt, who only started wrestling two years ago and is at State for the first time, advanced with a 4-2 win over Justin Rikkola of St. Croix Falls.
Wendt got a reversal with 10 seconds left in the match to break a 2-2 deadlock.

Live, from the Kohl Center
They've already been wrestling a couple of hours in Madison at the WIAA state tournament.
Two Plymouth wrestlers have competed in consolation matches. Kale Rortvedt was eliminated at 119 pounds after being pinned in his first match today.
Chris Holzer continued on with a 43-second pin of Stoughton's Josh Miller. Holzer can still get a third-place medal through wrestlebacks in Division 1's 130 pounds.
Quarterfinals for Divisions 2 and 3 are starting now. Check back later for updates.
