July 2024

The Wisconsin Football Coaches Association All-Star Game will be held July 20 at Titan Stadium at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.

And former Middleton standouts Dom Frost and KJ Peterson will compete for the South Large All-Stars.

Frost was the Big Eight Conference’s Defensive Lineman of the Year and the Defensive Interior Lineman of the Year after posting 53 tackles, 6.0 tackles for loss and 5.0 sacks. Frost, who will play collegiately at Bemidji State, also forced a fumble, had one interception, and earned all-Region honors during the 2023 campaign.

“Dom was a good, steady player (in 2022) and became a dominant player this year,” Middleton co-coach Tim Simon said after the 2023 season. “We lined him up on the opposite side of Sam Pilof knowing teams would try to run away from Sam. Opposing teams found out that wasn't going to work. Dom absolutely controlled his gaps with great force and technique and made other teams have to double team him.”

Middleton girls soccer standouts Sophie Kasel and Adelyn Frantz were both named honorable-mention all-state by the Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association.

Kasel, a senior defender, was a four-year varsity player and two-year captain. She finished the year with four goals, four assists and two-game winning goals.

Kasel was an elite defender who kept Middleton’s season alive by jumping into goal and making a memorable save against Kettle Moraine during a mad scramble in the sectional semifinals. Middleton went on to win that game on penalty kicks.

“Sophie is calm, cool, collected, even when forwards are charging at her with the ball or when they are attempting to take the ball at her feet,” Middleton coach Mary Duffy said of Kasel. “I love watching how she uses body fakes and hesitation moves to get forwards to take a mis-step in their attempt to get the ball. At times it looks like there is an invisible string that connects the ball to her foot.
