JS Online:WIAA soccer report:" Homestead probably won't be in line for the WIAA's sportsmanship award. Highlanders fans chanted 'Choke' at Middleton players during the shootout. Then, while Middleton received its championship medals, Homestead players turned their backs to the action. . . ."
Homestead coach Rich Dorn wasn't happy with the defensive-minded approach Middleton took against his Highlanders in the Division 1 title game. "I think justice was not served," Dorn said. "I think attacking soccer should be somewhat rewarded. Maybe we could go to a point system, almost like gymnastics does instead of deciding games with shootouts.
"We're recognized for the soccer we play and. . . I take pride in that. I'm not interested in somebody saying, 'You have a vaunted defense.' This could set the game back. I couldn't be happy playing for a tie."
"DO-GOODERS: Catholic Memorial's girls team spends every Saturday morning working with handicapped children. And even though the Crusaders had a state title game to play this week, their routine didn't change. 'I want us to be defined by the quality of our team, not just wins and losses,' Burke said. 'And I think that's why we've enjoyed as much success as we have here. It's because we have such good people come through this program.'"Having witnessed the behavior and "sportsmanship" of other fans from Mequon during the Padre Serra 8th grade girls basketball tournament, I can say that the people of Mequon are not exactly displaying much class. Get a grip folks!
