Three Cardinals named all-Big Eight

Submitted by MTT News on Thu, 03/20/2025 - 09:46

Middleton’s girls basketball team landed three players on the all-Big Eight Conference team.

Senior center Macey Blazek and junior guard Brooke Michelotti were both named second-team all-conference. Junior guard Rowan Borne earned honorable-mention all-conference honors.

Michelotti led the Cardinals in scoring with 12.2 points per game. She scored 20 points, or more, in three games, pouring in 23 points against both Oregon and Sun Prairie East, and scoring 20 against Janesville Craig.

Michelotti reached double figures in 17 games and made a team-high 47 3-pointers. Michelotti also finished fourth on the team in assists (1.6) and fifth in rebounds (3.2).

Blazek, a transfer from Beech High School in Hendersonville, Tenn., came to Middleton last summer when her father, A.J., was hired to coach the University of Wisconsin’s offensive line. And what a boost Blazek gave the Cardinals.

KM rolls by Middleton in regional finals

Submitted by MTT News on Wed, 03/12/2025 - 20:24

WALES — Kevin Bavery stood inside an empty locker room in what was now a completely vacant Kettle Moraine High School.

Bavery’s 19th season as the boys basketball coach at Middleton High School had just ended.

His Cardinals had fallen to No. 1 Kettle Moraine, 66-48, in a WIAA Division 1 regional final last Saturday.

Many years, when the finality of a season arrives, Bavery wonders what could have been. He questions whether his Cardinals should have advanced further in the postseason.

This was not one of those times.

“They were better than us,” Bavery said of the Lasers. “They were just better.”

Indeed they were.

Kettle Moraine showed why it’s the top-ranked team in the state, while improving to a perfect 26-0. Middleton finished its inconsistent season 15-11.

Middleton downs Beloit in regional semis

Submitted by MTT News on Wed, 03/12/2025 - 20:20

The first seven games of the season were a painful endeavor for Middleton’s boys basketball team.

Center Will Garlock was out with an ankle injury. The Cardinals were inexperienced at most positions. And Middleton began the year 2-5.

If there was a silver lining, it’s that Middleton learned to play without the 7-foot Garlock.

The dividends of that were evident in the Cardinals 81-68 win over visiting Beloit Memorial in a WIAA Division 1 regional semifinal last Friday played in front of a raucous, full house at MHS.

Garlock was limited to just 17 minutes due to foul trouble. But the Cardinals didn’t miss a beat, outscoring the Purple Knights by 12 points in the 19 minutes Garlock was on the bench.
