Hello all!

Usually I post items about WashU games that I have or will broadcast, or about general observations from other games and events.  However, this post regards a topic that is quite a bit different--with the athletic shoe being on the broadcaster's foot.

I am going to attempt to cover 100 miles in a solo charity ultramarathon through an event that I have organized.  "Rett Gets Rocked Virtual Ultra Weekend" will be conducted in the subdivision where I live in St. Charles, MO, to raise awareness and research funds for Rett syndrome.  I get started at 9 a.m. Central on Saturday, October 3 and end at 5 p.m. Sunday, October 4.  Proceeds from the event will be split between Rettsyndrome.org (the only national organization spearheading research and providing resources for affected patients and their families) and the Rett Spectrum Clinic--a collaboration between the WashU School of Medicine and St. Louis Children's Hospital.

Rett syndrome is a rare, non-inherited neurological disorder that is caused by a gene mutation in the brain.  Rett strikes typically when a child is 6-18 months old, and it takes away the child's ability to move and communicate.  Most of them end up in wheelchairs with active minds, but mired in the physical rubble that Rett creates.  And, the neurological damage prevents verbal communication and arm and hand movement for sign language.

In essence, Rett does to a child what Lucy in the "Peanuts" comic strip does to Charlie Brown when he tries to kick the football that she is holding.  The only difference is that Charlie Brown can get back up to try again.  Those who are afflicted with Rett syndrome don't get another chance to enjoy a vibrant life.

If you would like to make a donation to the cause, here is the link to my Rett Racers donation page:  https://rettracer.everydayhero.com/us/rett-gets-rocked-2020

Thanks for your time and consideration, and let's hope that we get back to playing and broadcasting sports much sooner than later!

I just talked with the UW Ticket office and was told that UW is canceling 2020-21 season basketball tickets. I was given the option of donating, getting a refund or putting it towards next year. It sounds like UW will be limiting attendance at basketball games.  One could only assume that the WIAC will do the same.

[WUPHF]

A few NAIA schools in Missouri are scheduled to begin basketball as planned, but have announced that the games will not be open to fans.  Not at all.

[tomt4525]

First commit for 2021 is in.  6'4" Lakeville North(MN) F, Cooper Laufenberger, has committed to play basketball at UWEC.

The schools' WIAC Instagram take overs have been great over the past weeks.

Today's feature from Platteville is particularly interesting on COVID-19 testing. It says, "in order to practice high risk sports like basketball and wrestling are tested 3 times a week!!" The picture is three Pioneers getting tested.

Practices are currently ongoing for virtually every sport, but I personally had not seen the testing requirement or the testing taking place for student athletes to practice prior to this.

Hopefully this means WIAC is starting to find solutions some on the testing front to be able to play winter sports in 2021. I'm not holding my breath, but this is at least a step in right direction toward some basketball in winter 2021.

Former Ferris St 5'10" G, Armani Tinsley, has transferred to play basketball at UW-Stout.  He was a sophomore at Ferris St in 2017-2018 and I'm not sure where he went after that so it's unclear how many years of eligibility he has remaining.

Platteville has posted a 2020-2021 roster with 24 players listed including 10 freshman.  Additional freshman from tomt's list:

I only see 15 players on this page, so I am guessing you saw something that was incomplete.

Wow, you're right Pat it changed. Yesterday, that page had the freshman listed without numbers, height and weight.

According to  Platteville's website Basketball Times preseason poll has Platteville ranked 7th and Oshkosh ranked 15th. But still no announcement on a schedule.
