Folks, it's the end of the regular season! I am pleased to inform you (if you do not already know) that the 2008-2009 Pointers are WIAC Conference Champions! I'm proud to say that I was a part of the squad that brought home the 25th conference championship for Pointer Basketball. We sealed up the championship with a win over UW-LaCrosse on the 18th of February. Rounding out the regular season was a heart-breaking home loss to UW-Platteville 55-52. We didn't execute well and caught some bad breaks down the stretch.
We didn't like ending the regular season on such a sour note with that loss. The conference championship is a marvelous achievement but the loss is still a thorn in my side. We had a chance to prove ourselves once again as we started the WIAC tournament. We got the #1 seed going into the tournament and ended up facing UW-Oshkosh for the third time this year. The Titans were coming to town looking to upend us, but we took their best shots and finished the game victorious by a score of 81-69. Congrats to Ted Van Dellen and his Titans for a wonderful season.
Back to the WIAC Championship! It's my second championship game in as many years. Last year we ran out of time against UW-Whitewater, losing 75-71 at Kachel Gymnasium. This year is a whole different story. We will be playing at home on
I'll let you know how the big game comes out! Special shout-out this time goes to Deb Beamish,
