Betty Foye

Submitted by admin on Sat, 02/25/2023 - 09:46

BLACK EARTH/CROSS PLAINS–On Feb. 15, 2023, Betty’s journey ended as she flew on the wings of a snow-white dove. Betty came to life on March 31, 1934 and buckled up for an adventure of a lifetime. She proudly raised eight beautiful children (yes, we were more than a handful) and loved her nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Betty was a hard worker for many years at the State Bank of Cross Plains and Cross Plains Post Office. She formed lifelong friendships which gave her immense joy. She was a member of the American Legion Auxilary 245 as well as a staunch supporter of the fire department and the Rosemary Garfoot Public Library. 

Betty was an avid reader and bird watcher. It was the simple things in life that she enjoyed. A phone call, visits from family and friends would bring a smile to her face that would light up a room. She never stopped being a mother and would admonish, “What are you doing out in this weather?”

Submitted by admin on Sat, 02/25/2023 - 09:45

LACROSSE–The Middleton High School Dance Team marked Feb. 4 by placing fourth and sixth place and a team member making the All-State Team.

The team placed fourth and brought home a trophy in the D1 Pom category. In the D1 Hip Hop category Middleton placed sixth. Neva Hinsey made the All-State team, and four teammates, Aleide Achenbach, Elizabeth Elsner, Neva Hinsey, and Hadley Maher were All-State Finalists. This is the second time Hinsey was name to the All-State Dance Team.

“This was our first top 5 finish and State Trophy in D1 Pom in program history!! We have come close to placing top 5 in D1 Pom multiple times, so this has been a long time coming. I choreograph our pom routine, so this trophy means a lot to me personally. The amount of hours put into this routine and late nights spent re-working choreography is immeasurable, and the pressure felt has been immense,” said Head Dance Coach Jackie Rehberg.

School Responds Parents’ Bullying Concerns

Submitted by admin on Sat, 02/25/2023 - 09:37

MIDDLETON – The Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District (MCPASD) has responded to parental concerns in the wake of a police investigation alleging bullying at the high school by increasing supervision in all locker rooms and training football coaches and students to recognize and report unlawful harassment.

On Feb. 13, the Middleton Police Department (MIPD) forwarded a request to the Dane County District Attorney to review information it collected while investigating a report of a potential sexual assault occurring last month in the high school shower room.

While the police stopped short of recommending charges be brought against four male students, stating it didn’t develop sufficient evidence, the information it released cited students being urinated on and subjected to other indignities after early morning workouts.

Middleton's swimmers capture gold

Submitted by MTT News on Wed, 02/22/2023 - 18:10

WAUKESHA — Middleton’s boys swimming and diving season was two, maybe three practices old.

Nick Chirafisi, one of the Cardinals’ standout seniors, looked around the pool, saw the ridiculous level of talent and depth, and had a hunch this could be a special season.

“I knew right away we had what it takes,” Chirafisi said. “Now, you still have to go and do it. But I knew this group could be special.”

They were.

Middleton’s remarkable 2022-23 team capped its magnificent season by rolling to the WIAA Division 1 state title last Saturday at Waukesha South High School. It was the second state title in school history, both coming since 2020.

The Cardinals finished with 288 points, easily outdistancing runner-up Hartland Arrowhead (211). That was the largest margin of victory since 2016, when Madison Memorial won the meet by 112 points over runner-up Madison West.

Falk punches his ticket to state

Submitted by MTT News on Wed, 02/22/2023 - 11:22

WAUNAKEE — Bryce Falk is on a mission.

It has been seven years since four-time state place-winner Kevin Meicher won a state wrestling title for Middleton High School.

Falk wants that drought to end and his coach, Joe Miller, can’t see why the 170-pound junior co-captain won’t make it happen.

“He’ll be in the state tournament and should be in contention to win a medal,” Miller said of Falk. “He hasn’t lost at 170. His last loss was at Sauk Prairie at 182. He dropped down to 170 the following week and hasn’t lost since.

“I can make the argument he is one of the best 170-pounders in the state right now. He’s undefeated there. I foresee he will be on the awards stand. The way he is wrestling right now. He’s going to be a tough out at 170.”

Strong words for a stellar multi-sport athlete, who is a hard-nosed running back for the Cardinals’ football team in the fall and a sprinter in track and field in the spring.

Hockey Cardinals win regional title

Submitted by MTT News on Tue, 02/21/2023 - 18:03

Welcome back!

For the first time since 2019, Middleton’s hockey team earned a trip to the WIAA Division 1 sectionals.

The Cardinals routed visiting Waunakee, 7-1, last Saturday and claimed their first regional championship since 2019.

Middleton, the No. 3 seed in its sectional, improved to 16-8 overall and traveled to second-seeded Madison Edgewood Tuesday for a sectional semifinal. The winner of that game will face either top-seeded Verona or fifth-seeded Sauk Prairie in a sectional final Friday at 7 p.m. at Sun Prairie Ice Arena.

“Overall, I felt that this was one of our more complete hockey games that we’ve played,” Middleton coach Dan Truehl said of the Waunakee win. “We got things going with our power play and then had all three lines going.”

The Cardinals led, 2-0, after the first period. And after a scoreless second period, Middleton scored five third period goals to put the Warriors away.

Gymnasts fourth at conference meet

Submitted by MTT News on Tue, 02/21/2023 - 11:19

Middleton’s girls gymnastics team is extremely young.

So when gyms are full — and stakes are high — nerves can become an issue.

Cardinals coach Alexis Lindahl felt that’s exactly what happened last Saturday when Middleton settled for fourth place at the Big Eight Conference meet.

Verona/Edgewood won the conference title with a whopping team score of 145.325. Janesville Craig was second with a 137.325, while Madison Memorial (128.575), Middleton (128.250) and Madison United (125.575) rounded out the top five.

“We've got a very young varsity team,” Lindahl said. “For a lot of them, this was only their first or second conference competition.

“They were nervous, and the nerves got the best of them in some places. This wasn't our best competition, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed because I know what they're capable of — and the girls do, too.”
