It’s good to be Jason Pertzborn these days.
Middleton’s co-head football coach and offensive coordinator calls the plays each Friday night. And Pertzborn has a bevy of options at his disposal.
Kallion Buckner, who ranks No. 1 in the Big Eight and No. 12 in the state in rushing, is the Cardinals’ most impressive running back in years. Tight ends Max Schlicht and Jake Klubertanz form a dangerous duo.
Wideouts Sam Close and Marquez Winters, along with jack-of-all-trades Kevin Meicher can all go the distance every time they touch the ball. And quarterback Bryce Carey can beat teams with his arm and legs.
“We have a lot of playmakers,” Pertzborn said.
Never was that more evident than the Cardinals’ 40-0 rout of Madison West last Friday.
Middleton scored touchdowns on six of its first seven possessions. Even more impressive, the Cardinals found the endzone on six of their first 26 plays.
