Middleton suffers brutal blow

Submitted by MTT News on Thu, 03/03/2022 - 12:58

It was ‘Senior Night’ for Middleton’s boys basketball team on Feb. 24.

But with an unfortunate twist.

When the Cardinals’ senior class was introduced before their final regular season game against Madison La Follette, senior Logan Raffel wasn’t in uniform.

Raffel’s absence played a key role in the visiting Lancers’ 72-45 victory over Middleton, which actually was closer than the final score indicated.

Raffel, a 5-foot-11 sharpshooting guard — who leads Middleton in 3-pointers made and attempted and is its second-leading scorer — had an appendicitis attack earlier in the week and had his appendix removed, which was expected to sideline him for the rest of the season.

Middleton ousted by Sun Prairie

Submitted by MTT News on Thu, 03/03/2022 - 12:56

They made gains every time they met.

In the end, though, there was no charm in the third meeting.

Middleton’s girls basketball team gave a gritty, gutty effort against Sun Prairie in a WIAA Division 1 regional semifinal last Saturday. But third-seeded Sun Prairie had too many weapons and defeated 14th-seeded Middleton, 52-36.

Middleton finished the year 9-16. Sun Prairie improved to 21-4, then defeated Watertown the next night and advanced to sectional play this weekend.

This marked the third time the two Cardinals met this season and was the closest of those encounters.

Sun Prairie won the first game by 45 points and the second meeting by 22. This game was much closer, but Middleton couldn't get over the hump.

Middleton trailed just 28-21 at half and had hope heading to the second half.

Verona/Edgewood won the team title with a 145.450 score. Sun Prairie was second (137.450), while Madison Memorial (134.7250), Middleton (131.650) and Waunakee/DeForest (121.1750) rounded out the top five.

Middleton girls snowboarders 2nd at state

Submitted by MTT News on Thu, 03/03/2022 - 12:49

Middleton girls snowboarding team recently finished second at the state meet.

Junior Chloe Larson took first place as an overall individual competitor, was second in the giant slalom, and third in both the Boardercross and Slalom.

Senior Emma Chandler took second place as an overall individual competitor and second place in the Boardercross.

The girls team brought 3 returning members of last year’s State Championship team (Senior Lauren Laufenberg, Larson and Chandler) and four members that were new to the team this year.

With strong finishes in the Giant Slalom and Boardercross races, Middleton held on through a particularly challenging Slalom course to claim Silver. 

Middleton’s boys had a tougher outing in terms of scoring, but with three of the seven state participants experiencing the event for the first time, set a solid foundation for future years.
