MARCH 15, 2014 = KOHLER VILLAGER KOHLERVILLAGER.COM6

By Suzanne FinkKohler 50, Hustisford 46

Talk about a nail biter…I’mtalon you, this game had a little bitof everything…including an upset.Kohler pulled off the No. 7-over-No. 2 upset February 25th in thefirst round of regional play againstthe Hustisford Falcons by defeat-ing them on the road 50-46.

Kohler jumped out to a big firstquarter lead of 15-4 and were upby 9 going into the half. With at-tempts made by Hustisford early inthe second half for the comeback,the score remained close at the endof the third at 35-32. With everybasket a winner in the fourth, Bren-nan Ladwig dropped in one of histwo free throws with seconds left,sending the Falcons playoff hopesto a screeching halt.

“We were executing offensivelypretty well,” Kohler coach KenRoeder said.

Leading the Bombers in scoringwere Brennan Ladwig with a gamehigh 18 points and Brett Muellerwith 12. Rounding out the field,Noah Fink pulled in seven re-bounds along with Brennan Lad-wig who contributed with sixboards and four assists.

Yogi Berra said, "It ain't over 'tilit's over." The boys have securedthemselves another game. If theBombers can enter the secondround of regionals with fortitude,then there is little reason to believethey cannot have success against

any opponent in the weeks ahead.In the meantime, the boys shouldfeel good about this victory, theyhave earned it!Kohler —Case 4, Fink 7, Mueller 12, Ste-fanczyk 6, Toeller 5, Bauer 2, Ladwig 18.3-pt: Fink.

Sheboygan Christian 71, Kohler 51

In a highly-anticipated match-up, the Sheboygan Christian Ea-gles defeated the Kohler Bombersby a 71-51 margin on February28th.

Leading 29-26-at intermission,the Eagles were flying high in thethird quarter with their runninggame soaring. Ahead by nine in thethird quarter, Sheboygan Christianwas able to keep the pressure on inthe fourth keeping the victory wellout of reach for the Bombers.

Jordan Toeller led the Bombersin scoring with 14 points, followedby Calvin Stefanczyk with 8.

For the Eagles, Caleb Kelly had17 points, and Brady Otte and KyleStecker each added 14 more.

I think Yogi Berra sums it upbest with this quote, "We made toomany wrong mistakes.” Unfortu-nately, Kohler could not pull offthe win tonight and so our seasoncomes to an end. Thanks Bombersfor a great year of basketball!Kohler —Tobin 2, Case 6, Fink 5, Pellowski 2,Mueller 4, Stefanczyk 8, Toeller 14, Bauer 4,Ladwig 6. 3-pt: Toeller.

Wrap Up:Being a sports fan can often be a

maddening, disappointing exis-tence. With so much emphasisplaced on winning, sports are basi-cally set up just to let you down.But not to worry, we Bomber fans,we’re resilient! That’s why wekeep coming back year after year.Plus, we know that there is so moreto sports than just winning.

I would venture to say thatKohler has a very unique fan base.We cheer a little louder, care a littlemore. We don’t just root for a vic-tory-we root for the player. Thereis that unspoken connection notonly to the team, but to the playersthemselves.

Most sports teams are just teamsand seasons are just seasons…butnot in Kohler. Over the years, weget to watch the kids grow intoconfident, determined, selflessteams. We experience, along withthem, the thrill of a victory and theagony of defeat. Win or lose, weare there.

As I sat at last Friday’s gameagainst Christian, I couldn’t shakethe hint of sadness that this couldbe the final 32 minutes spentwatching this team. As it turned outit was. Our twelve year journey to-gether was now over.

This week, the kids will startpractice for their spring sports.We’ll be there…in the bleachers, atthe courts and on the sideline. Be-cause when you put on a Kohlerjersey, you are not only becomingpart of a team, but part of a family.

Kohler Co. PropertiesRank Among the World’sBest Accommodations Both The American Club and Old CourseHotel place on annual list of Travel +Leisure 500 World’s Best Hotels

Readers of Travel + Leisure

have once again voted to include

both The American Club resort in

Kohler, Wis. and Old Course

Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa in St.

Andrews, Scotland on the cele-

brated annual list of the best lux-

ury hotels in the world. Both

hotels are part of Kohler Co.’s

Global Hospitality & Real Estate

portfolio, and they are joined on

the list by the most prestigious

and well-known luxury resorts in

the world.

“For both of these properties to

be recognized by the readers of

Travel + Leisure as among the

finest in the world is very reward-

ing for all of us,” said Michael

Belot, general manager of Desti-

nation Kohler. “There are many

people who work very hard to en-

sure that every guest’s stay is spe-

cial and enjoyable, and this honor

belongs to them.”

The lodgings on the 2014 list

run the gamut from a 10th century

Tuscan estate to luxury tents on a

Botswana game preserve. It is a

compilation of extraordinary ven-

ues that will entice everyone from

savvy explorers seeking new

haunts to armchair travelers look-

ing to be transported by their

imaginations. Travel + Leisure

describes The American Club as

“the Midwest’s most luxe resort

and spa,” and encourages visitors

to take advantage of the free fac-

tory tour offered at the plant

across the road from the hotel.

Impressed by the “spacious

rooms and top-notch spa,” readers

selected the Kohler-owned Old

Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa

as another of the Top 500 Hotels

in the world. Travel + Leisure

noted that the hotel is the only

one on the “revered 600-year-old

Old Course at St Andrews,” and

that “golf fanatics” should book

one of the many guest rooms that

face the course.

Kohler Co., most notable for its

artistic and innovative kitchen

and plumbing products, has a rich

history of creating high-end prod-

ucts and experiences. Since form-

ing the Hospitality & Real Estate

Group in 1981, Kohler Co. has

continued the tradition of offering

the most luxurious and personal-

ized experiences at both Kohler-

owned properties in Wisconsin

and St Andrews. Both properties,

known for their high-level cus-

tomer service and impeccable at-

tention to detail, are recognized

internationally for their champi-

onship golf courses. The Ameri-

can Club Resort is home to public

courses Whistling Straits and

Blackwolf Run, which have col-

lectively hosted the 1998 and

2012 U.S. Women’s Open, 2004

and 2010 PGA Championships,

2007 U.S. Senior Open and are

the future locations for the 2015

PGA Championship and 2020

Ryder Cup. The Old Course

Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa over-

looks the world’s most famous

golf course, The Old Course, and

also offers golf at the only health-

land course in the area – The

Duke’s. The resort has served as

host hotel for both the 2010 Open

Championship and the annual Al-

fred Dunhill Links Champi-

onship. In addition, these two

resorts offer unparalleled experi-

ences at Kohler Waters Spas,

highly acclaimed for their innova-

tive water-based therapies.

This is the ninth year Travel +

Leisure has invited its readers to

weigh in on their favorite places

to stay around the world. Readers

partake in a survey which asks

them to use a scale from one to

five to rate hotels on five charac-

teristics: rooms/facilities, loca-

tion, service, restaurants/food,

and value. For the 2014 list, read-

ers awarded The American Club

resort a score of 87.59 points out

of a possible 100, and The Old

Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa

bested its score from last year

with a rating of 87.60.
