Middleton boys basketball coach Kevin Bavery was on a local radio show last week when the host said he thought the Cardinals should be the No. 3 seed in the WIAA Division 1 Sun Prairie Sectional.
Bavery quickly quipped that he was glad the radio host wouldn’t be at Sunday’s seeding meeting.
Instead, Bavery brought enough firepower to the meeting and Middleton emerged as the sectional’s No. 2 seed. The Cardinals will open the postseason by hosting 15th-seeded Kenosha Bradford in a regional semifinal March 4.
Sun Prairie earned the No. 1 seed, followed by Middleton, Madison Memorial, Muskego, Madison East, Oconomowoc, Madison West, Janesville Craig, Verona, Watertown, Badger, Kenosha Tremper, Beloit Memorial, Kenosha Indian Trail, Kenosha Bradford, Janesville Parker and Madison La Follette.
