Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

And another milestone:
All the players on the Waukon High School girls' basketball team peeled off their jerseys and revealed special T-shirts just seconds after they beat MFL MarMac 48-38 on Saturday at the U.S. Cellular Center.

They came prepared for coach Gene Klinge's big moment.

"939 Wins," the homemade shirts proclaimed on the front. "Congrats Coach!" it said on the back.

Klinge, 72, became the winningest coach in the history of Iowa girls' basketball with the 939th victory of his 48-year career, snapping the old mark of 938 that he'd shared with the late Bob Mullen.
