Apples CONTINUED FROM 1B
I Like Apples won the game in overtime, 61-59. Ringel stepped up to hit the big shot that sent his team to the championship game in Allen Fieldhouse.
On the play, Ringel's brother, Jordan Ringel, Fort Worth, Texas, junior, pulled down a rebound and spotted Eli on the right wing. Eli hit a three-pointer to give his team the lead.
As far as playing a leading role with his older teammates, Eli said it never created any problems. Eli said the chemistry with his older brother contributed greatly to the team's accomplishments.
"We've played with each other before so it elicited, but we do yell at each other a lot and get in each other's faces," Eli said.
Despite this, the results of both brothers playing starting roles were positive.
"They pushed each other to play harder and made sure that each of them were doing everything necessary for the team to succeed," said Shane Arnold, Milwaukee sophomore and teammate.

BY DOUG TUCKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — On the eve of a sales tax vote that could decide the fate of professional sports in Kansas City, George Brett and Buck O'Neil sat together under a tree and urged a crowd to vote yes.
Radio stations ran a tape message from NFL hall-of-famer Marcus Allen warning that the Chiefs could wind up in Los Angeles if the two proposals were not adopted.
Even Hollywood got into the
Shortly before the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals opened their season Monday in a full, festive stadium, actor Chris Cooper, a Kansas City native and Academy Award winner, made his pitch for passage of the taxes.
In the meantime, a loosely organized cadre of opponents of the three-eighths of a cent sales tax and an accompanying use tax were feeling confident.
"We are very encouraged that supporters of these taxes have been conducting polls," said
Richard Tolbert, a Democratic politician and small-business man. "The fact they have not announced the results of those polls tells me their side is losing."
That the vote would be close was one thing they all agreed on.
The sales tax would raise $425 million over 25 years for renovating and refurbishing Arrowhead and Kauffman stadiums, which opened in 1972 and '73.
An accompanying use tax would raise an additional $200 million for a rolling roof, which would make both stadiums climate-controlled and assure the city of the 2015 Super Bowl.
An additional $50 million would come from the state. Royals owner David Glass would
Baseball has promised an All-Star game if the stadiums are refurbished, and mayor Kay Barnes says she is optimistic the NCAA would grant a Final Four to its former host city if the rolling roof is fitted over Arrowhead.
