MHS golfers off and running

Expectations are great.

Hopes are extremely high.

And Middleton’s No. 1 ranked boys golf team showed exactly why, winning its first two meets of the new season last week.

Middleton opened its season by winning the Big Eight-Badger Conference Challenge on April 6 at Bishop’s Bay Country Club. The Cardinals fired a 306, while Milton was second with a 316. Madison Edgewood (323) and Waunakee (326) rounded out the field.

Middleton then won a Big Eight Conference triangular held at Pleasant View Golf Course on April 8. The Cardinals shot a 302, while Madison West carded a 315 and Sun Prairie East shot a 362.

During the Cardinals’ win at the Big Eight-Badger Challenge, Middleton senior Berrin Reiter tied for medalist honors with Milton’s Kade Wieland — a University of Wisconsin recruit. Both players carded s1-over-par, 73.

Good and bad for baseball Cards

Middleton’s baseball team split its first four games of the season last week.

The Cardinals defeated Madison West, 4-0, on April 8, then the Regents rebounded and toppled MHS, 9-1, on April 9.

Milton defeated Middleton, 6-3, on April 10. The Cardinals then bounced back and toppled Eau Claire Memorial, 3-2, on April 11.

“Overall, we improved quite a bit from the start of the week to the end of the week,” Middleton manager Brent Jorgensen said. “Playing four games in four days is tough because players have to make changes and adjustments in the games and can't build their confidence that comes through practice.

“Of course we would have liked to walk away with more wins, but we played hard and improved throughout the week. If we can keep that going, I think the wins will take care of themselves, and we'll be a really tough team.”

Here’s a recap of the Cardinals’ week.
