Dan Wargolet- 28 Points, 7 threes; In the Championship game Dan came through time after time with big shots. Each time Milwaukee Sporting Goods got within a few points he hit a big three to thwart the attack. "What can I say, big time players make big time plays and sometimes the rest of us do too. I rank this win right up there with our UW-Platteville DIII Championship in 1999." |
 |
Ben Royten- 29 points, 9 threes; Royten helped lead Krispy Kreme to its second victory of the season by making 9 of 20 threes. "I'd like to end the season with a short poem: Me Three.". |

The Legend of the Closed Gym
It's been said that back in the late 80's-early 90's, a group of 10 or more men would gather together in the name of basketball. These men were asked to come to these so-called Open Gyms because they 1) were reliable, 2) were competitive, 3) would cause no arguments, and 4) loved to play. Because phone calls were placed to specific individuals on an invitation only basis, a significant fact was brought to the operator's attention: "Hey, these aren't Open Gyms." And thus the Closed Gyms were born.
