Middleton's boys spikers capture gold

ASHWAUBENON — Back on top again.

It’s where the Middleton boys volleyball team had planned to finish at the start of the season. And the Cardinals did it in style, winning the WIAA state title by going undefeated.

Middleton fought off a pesky Germantown squad in the championship match to earn a 3-0 sweep, 26-24, 25-19, 25-21, on Nov. 8 at the Resch Center.
