Boys basketball team tops Sun Prairie

Submitted by MTT News on Fri, 12/09/2016 - 11:06

Kevin Bavery was surprised by the style.

He was also thrilled with the result.

Middleton’s boys basketball team rebounded from a tough loss to Madison Memorial and toppled visiting Sun Prairie, 58-41, last Saturday.

Middleton improved to 2-1 overall and 1-1 in the Big Eight Conference. Sun Prairie, which shared the league title with Middleton and Madison Memorial last season, fell to 2-1, 1-1.

“It wasn't what we envisioned, which was a shootout,” Bavery said. “It was a grinder and I have a feeling there will be a lot of those in the Big Eight this season.”

Senior forward Tyree Eady led Middleton with 23 points and four rebounds. Senior point guard Storm Murphy added 16 points and three assists.

Senior guard C.J. Fermanich had six points and eight rebounds, while junior wing Davis Roquet had six points. Senior wing Myron Ashford Jr., added four rebounds and junior guard Alan Roden had three steals.

Madison Memorial topples MHS

Submitted by MTT News on Tue, 12/06/2016 - 11:09

Storm Murphy stood in a nearly empty locker room last Thursday and put his Wofford College shirt on backwards. On this night, Middleton’s senior point guard didn’t feel like the best representative for Terriers’ basketball

“That wasn’t me,” Murphy said.

A few feet away, senior forward Tyree Eady sat for 15 minutes with his head down. Finally, Middleton assistant coach Jerry Raffel gave the Cardinals’ standout forward a pep talk and the two headed to the bus.

The calendar read December, but this was March basketball. And Middleton took its 56-53 setback against host Madison Memorial as hard as it would a sectional final.

“I was more hyped for this than any game in a long time,” said Murphy, who will play at Wofford next season. “This is a tough one.”

The Cardinals and Spartans know each other as well as any two teams in the state.

Football Cardinals named all-Big 8

Submitted by MTT News on Thu, 12/01/2016 - 11:45

The best offensive lineman in the history of Middleton football is arguably Ryan Groy.

Groy was an all-state player in 2008, had a stellar career at the University of Wisconsin and currently plays for the Buffalo Bills.

This season, Kayden Lyles had a year similar to any that Groy had at Middleton.

Lyles, who’s also a UW recruit, was named the Big Eight Conference’s Offensive Lineman of the Year and was a first-team all-state player. Lyles headlined a number of Cardinals that earned postseason honors.

Senior linebacker Joe Ludwig and junior offensive lineman Jarrett Horst were named first-team all-league.

Junior running back Dion Huff, senior defensive linemen Harrison Bielski and Max Elliott, junior linebacker Shane Bick and senior safety Jack Smith were named second-team all-conference.

Middleton spikers honored

Middleton’s girls volleyball team landed four players on the all-Big Eight Conference team.

Sophomore outside hitter Lily Welti was named first-team all-Big Eight. Junior middle hitter Jennifer McGinnis, senior setter Mimi McMurray and senior libero Jessi Nonn were all named second-team all-conference.

Welti was a co-captain who led Middleton in kills. She was one of the Cardinals’ main serve receivers, defenders and jump servers and was named Middleton’s Most Valuable Player. 

“She was our go-to player and did a great job as a sophomore carrying the team on her shoulders,” Middleton coach Franco Marcos said. “She was second in the overall voting for the Big Eight Conference player of the year.  

“She has a great future ahead of her! She will be challenging for the player of the year in 2017.”
