Verona knocks off Middleton

VERONA — Ortez Lockett stood in the west endzone at Verona High School late last Friday.

Middleton’s senior defensive yelled, he pleaded and he implored. And when Lockett finished, he wiped away tears.

It was, by many accounts, the most impassioned speech a Middleton football player had given in years.

“This is our last year for me as a senior and the other seniors,” Lockett said. “And I just have to get that across the juniors’ heads. Our team, I know it’s the strongest team out there in the conference. We just have to go and prove it.”

Middleton failed to prove that last Friday and suffered a 27-22 defeat to Verona. The Cardinals hurt themselves with inconsistency on offense, defensive breakdowns and a bevy of self-inflicted wounds.

Verona moved into a three-way tie atop the Big Eight Conference at 2-0, while the Cardinals slipped to 1-1. And afterwards, Lockett & Co. vowed not to let it happen again.

Boys spikers hope to take it up a notch

Ben White doesn’t mince words.

Middleton’s boys’ volleyball coach and his ultra-successful Cardinals have built one of the strongest programs in the state.

Middleton has won 11 of the last 12 Big Eight Conference championships. The Cardinals have a 63-game winning streak in the league.

Middleton is coming off a season where it set a school-record with 33 wins. And the Cardinals have been to the state tournament five straight years.

Many programs dream of such success, and White certainly appreciates what his teams have accomplished. But what drives White and everyone inside his program is the fact the Cardinals haven’t won a match at state since 2008, going 0-6 at state in that time.

MHS' boys cross country team is set to shine

Never has Middleton’s boys’ cross country program been in better shape than it is today.

Never have the Cardinals had this amount of talent, depth and experience.

Never has Middleton enjoyed this level of quality coaching.

Add it all up and it figures to be a memorable season for the Cardinals.

“I'm excited for this season on so many levels and I think we can have another special season,” Middleton coach Brian Finnel said. “We have a great group of guys and this group knows how to get it done. I can't wait!”

The Cardinals proved last season they understood how to get it done.

Middleton won its first WIAA Division 1 state championship since 1992. At state, the Cardinals outdistanced runner-up Stevens Point by 101 points — which was the largest margin of victory in state history.

Greens, Neighbors Hit Hard in Cross Plains

CROSS PLAINS–Thunder clapped, lighting lit up the sky and water rose quickly on Brewery Rd. in Cross Plains, as residents were evacuated by the fire department on the night of Aug. 20.

Jodi Green said she noticed the water rising in the street around 5:30, but since her house had never flooded, she wasn’t too concerned. The Cross Plains Fire Department evacuated the Green house at 7:40 p.m. “When the fire department came, they told me to leave my three dogs. My friend Melissa (Murphy) risked her life to go get them later,” said Jodi.

“I was hanging on to the railing, trying not to get swept away by the current,” recalled Melissa. Once in the house she let out the dogs and a neighbor took them in to their garage until she could come back for them.

Evers Speaks in Middleton

MIDDLETON–A little more than a week after winning the Democratic nomination for governor, state superintendent Tony Evers spoke Aug. 23 at a Middleton Action Committee in conjunction with the reopening of the Democratic Party office in Middleton. The headquarters is located in the former Starbucks building at Frank Lloyd Wright and County Hwy M. 

Evers touched on the primary, what his priorities would be as governor and how he’s going to campaign against incumbent Governor Scott Walker. 

Assembly Rep. Dianne Hesselbein, Sen. Jon Erpenbach and Democratic candidate for state treasurer Sarah Godlewski spoke before Evers at the event. 

Hesselbein announced that the Democrats have 92 candidates running in the state’s 99 districts. Hesselbein noted that 43 of those are women.

Football Cards cruise past Madison East

After a shaky start last Friday, Middleton’s offense could seemingly do no wrong.

Big plays were plentiful and even broken plays went for big gains.

It all added up to an impressive 50-0 season-opening Big Eight Conference victory for the Cardinals over Madison East on the new turf field at Otto Breitenbach Stadium.

“You always worry going into the first game, ‘Is there something we didn’t cover? Is there something we didn’t work on enough?’ ” Middleton co-coach Tim Simon said. “But I think all three facets of the game came together really well.”
