Basketball talk with MHS and U.P. Hall of Famer Al Ruleau

February 17, 2022 • Josh Kellner • Season 1 • Episode 23

Menominee High School and Upper Peninsula Hall of Famer Al Ruleau is in studio as we talk about Maroon Basketball in the early 80's. Al is in in the rare class of the 1,000 point club scoring 1,153 points in his career and was a part of the historic 1981-82 basketball team that finished 24-1 after losing in the State Semi-Finals. We discus local influencers in sports that includes some past coaches. The game and venues have evolved over the years and we have a few stories on those topics. He remembers one of the biggest games ever held in Menominee as the Maroons hosted the Stephenson Eagles his senior year.

In Mini-Maroons we have the results from the Marinette-Menominee YMCA Gliders meet in Eau Claire from the previous weekend. We will take a look into the final weeks of the Maroon basketball season as the Boys and Girls are getting closer to the district tournament.
