Hoop Scoop
News Flash: Coach Greg Gaulke's RFHS boys' basketball team, unbeaten so far this season, will incorporate a new rebound drill this year, one developed by Pardeeville (Wis.) High School last year. The drill, one which has players wearing women's panties over their shorts if they don't do a good job rebounding in practice, inexplicably drew fire from some Pardeeville parents a year ago. But Coach Gaulke, citing the much more liberal outlook of RFHS parents, said, "It sounds like a great motivator to me!" Dennis Burich, Gaulke's greatly underrated assistant, commented that "Greg's had some fine ideas over the years, but this has got to be the best ever!"
