Rapid City Rush Playoff Blog

What was looking to be a very uneventful day of killing time at the mall turned out to be the exact opposite for us today. Last night we found out who we would face in round one as I'm sure most of you know, so after a 10 o'clock practice in Independence Missouri, the bus dropped us off at the mall to have lunch, maybe some shopping, mostly just to kill some of the day. That's when one of us changed from just another food court junkie, to a hero. His name is one Riley Weselowski. Unfortunately I was not there first hand, luckily for me my road roomy and D-partner was just feet away from the excitement. After enjoying a fine meal from Panda Express, Wessy was looking to take care of his sweet tooth with an oreo blizzard from DQ, I assure you even though Wessy likes to indulge in the odd sweet sugary snack he is one fit athletic specimen. According to sources three Bemiji alums were there so it has to be true, when Cody Bostock and Blaine Jarvis turned there heads to check out a cute .... ahhhh never mind, it's when they turned back they noticed Wessy with his arms around an older heavier set gentleman attempting to preform the heimlich maneuver, as the gentleman helped position the hands in the correct spot for Wessy, he went on to preform the act and helped the poor man get his breath back. When the dust eventually settled from all the excitement and the panic settled the three Bemiji Beavers made sure the man was OK and waited until the Paul Blart wanna be mall cop arrived at the scene on his segway. With the man still a little disoriented the two women he was with came over and thanked the fine young gentleman for there concern and quick thinking to help there sugar daddy out. when asked about the event, Wessy had this to say, "I wasn't looking for any thank you's or hero status, I just made sure nobody was dieing on my watch today. Was I nervous? no not really, because I knew deep down inside that this man was going to live to enjoy another day." There you have it, the soft spoken Weselowski never seizes to amaze, some wear capes, he wears number 24.

In other news Derek LeBlanc received a new doo, when several of his teammates highly recommended that he change his very stylish, just woke up out of bed look, into a very retro mullet. I had a chance to speak with Jon Pelle a close friend of Gunners and one of the main supporters to this lifestyle change. "After a while of convincing Derek to get the mullet he said the only way he would do it is if Chris Falloon and Dave Grimson agreed to join him. So we went over to Grimmer and asked him - absolutely not - he replied. Then we asked Looner who quickly replied - not a chance. next thing we knew Derek was sitting in the chair at Master cuts receiving a fine Kentucky Waterfall."

I assure you the events of the day are PRETTY much exactly what happened.

Thanks for reading today and until next time, Keep Fit, and Have Fun.

P.S. I have received several comments on my grammar and several type-o's i had in the first post, forgive me for that as I am a Tisdale Middle and Secondary School grade twelve grad and thats my only excuse. I'm not sure of the excuse of my proof reader who missed all the mistakes as he is a HARVARD....yes HARVARD grad. I'll try my best to limit my mistakes for the future.
