Howdy,

Hows it going my friends. Back for another installment of the ritzbitz blog. Today I am going to talk about Teutopolis High School Boys and Girls Basketball. Both teams are through the midway part of there schedules, and both teams are on fire.

The girls (19-2) facing Breese Mader Dai tonight at the Highland Tournament are looking to finish the regular season with a bang, and go into regional play with dominance. The girls who are led by Senior Courtney Heuerman averaging 12 points a game, is the leading scorer, but every game seem to get a different leading scorer everytime. This team has five seniors but only Heuerman who gets most of the playing time is a very young team otherwise. The Shoes also have younger players that step up really well during the season so far. Allison Wendell, Megan Kroeger, Becky Niebrugge, and Holly Koester have all provided good leadership and consistent scoring to keeps the Wooden Shoes the 5th ranked team in Class 2A girls basketball. One player who comes off the bench and provides scoring night in and out is Freshman Jesse Wendt. The way she plays you can not tell she is a freshmen, but the way she can shoot the ball, and provide good defense is a huge bonus for the lady shoes. Coming off a 3rd place finish last year in the state tourney the Lady shoes have the scoring, good defense, and leadership to make another deep run in the postseason. With only 5 more games to play after the Highland Tourney the lady shoes need to continue to play with aggressive defense causing teams to turn the ball over, and to continue to get balance scoring from there young players. There is nothing more exciting for the fans of Teutopolis to keep watching there lady shoes win games.

Well that wraps today's edition of the ritzbitz blog. Just to go out on a note today I got an email saying how the internet at EIU was going to be slow because of the Presidential Inaguaration, and how all the people are trying to get any information at all about it. That shows how much of a historic event this is, and how the technology is affected by it.

Next time on the RitzBitz blog I am going to talk about the Wooden Shoe Boys team and how there season has been so far and what to expect. Until next time take it easy and enjoy life.
