MHS' boys tennis team thinking big

Submitted by MTT News on Wed, 04/11/2018 - 08:38

For the majority of this century, Middleton’s boys tennis team has been a fixture at the state team tennis tournament.

The Cardinals have been to the state team tournament 11 times since 2000. And in that time, Middleton has four state runner-up finishes to its credit.

The Cardinals failed to reach the state meet last year, finishing third at the Waunakee Sectional. But with a deep and gifted squad coming back, Middleton has its sights set on another trip to state this spring.

Middleton is scheduled to begin its year Friday at Milwaukee Marquette.

“In order for us to have a chance to win conference and sectionals and advance to team state everyone has to pull their weight,” said Middleton second-year coach Kalla Schaefer. “No spot is a given win, because of how tight the top conference teams all are. No one can count on other spots to get the win because when those deciding matches come at 3-3 that could be at any spot.”

Soccer Cards have high hopes

Submitted by MTT News on Thu, 04/05/2018 - 08:35

The end is never easy.

It’s even worse when you dominate a competition throughout, yet still fall short on the scoreboard.

That happened to Middleton’s girls’ soccer team last year, when it controlled play against Verona in a regional final, yet dropped a 1-0 decision.

The Cardinals return a deep and gifted team this spring. Middleton’s combination of talent and its desire to return to state for the first time since 2013 will drive the Cardinals this year.

Middleton, which opened the year ranked No. 7 in the Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association poll, begins its new season Friday. The Cardinals will compete at the Madison Memorial Invite at Woodside Sports Complex in Wisconsin Dells beginning at 5 p.m.

Voting equipment malfunctions in the Village of Cross Plains

Submitted by MTT News on Wed, 04/04/2018 - 10:12

The results in the Cross Plains Village Board race on Tuesday night were delayed due to a technical problem.

Village administrator/clerk Caitlin Stene said the “M-Stick” onto which election results are loaded after the polls close failed, and the village had to obtain a new voting machine, and a new “M-Stick” from the county, before the local election results could be tallied and sent to the county clerk.

“In the process of closing the polls we experienced an error message, so we called the county,” Stene explained. “The way the process works, the results are loaded onto M-Sticks and somehow in the process of closing the polls that stick failed. The county came with new sticks and a new machine, and our election workers re-ran every ballot through the machine, then uploaded the results.”
