Middleton’s girls basketball team is suddenly red hot.
And out of the blue, it appears the Cardinals could be an extremely dangerous team this postseason, despite their 10-13 overall record.
Middleton, which has won five of its last six games, received the No. 12 seed in its sectional and will travel to fifth-seeded Madison Memorial for a WIAA Division 1 regional semifinal on Feb. 28.
If the Cardinals win there, they’d face either fourth-seeded Verona or 13th-seeded Watertown in a regional final on March 1.
The sectional semifinals are March 6 and the sectional finals are March 8.
Defending state champion Hartland Arrowhead is the No. 1 seed in the sectional, followed by Waunakee, Oregon, Verona, Madison Memorial, Kettle Moraine, Oconomowoc, Mukwonago, Madison La Follette, Beloit Memorial, Sun Prairie West, Middleton, Watertown, Sun Prairie East, Madison East, Janesville Craig, Janesville Parker and Madison West.
