Confusion leads city
plan commission to
move way from PDD-I
BY CAMERON BREN
Times-Tribune
A recommendation ap-
proved by the Middleton
Plan Commission calls for
the city council to revise
a section of the zoning or-
dinance to repeal Planned
Development District In-
fill (PDD-I) and only use
Planned Development Dis-
trict (PDD).
The change was spurred
by confusion around recent
developments that were
zoned as PDD. During
the recently approval pro-
cess for Stagecoach Trail
Apartments there was de-
bate among the public and
council whether it should
be zoned as PDD or PDD-I. 
After staff had looked
further into the matter they
deemed PDD-I to be es-
sentially irrelevant and that
PDD had all the same or

Kamps to join MCO for Winter Concert
Performance will feature gloriously moody music for the season
BY MATT GEIGER
Times-Tribune
The Middleton Community
Orchestra’s Winter Concert
will take place Wednesday,
Feb. 28 at the Middleton-Cross
Plains Performing Arts Center,
2100 Bristol St.
The performance will feature
Rossini La Gaaza Ladra Over-
ture, Glazunov Violin Concerto
featuring guest soloist Tim
Kamps, and Sibelius Sym-
phony No. 2.
As the MCO finishes up its
eighth season, co-founder and
member Mindy Taranto re-
flected on an ambitious idea
that quickly flourished and
blossomed into an unmitigated
success. What thousands of
listeners have discovered in
recent years is that Middleton
is home to an orchestra that ri-
vals many professional groups.
With around 80 members, the
MCO’s membership is robust,
and organizers are able to
tackle pieces that are complex
and technically challenging.
Their performances are
clean, precise, and full of both
vibrant energy and local faces.
“The quality is high, and
we’re able to be pretty picky,”
said Taranto. “We’re able to do
things now that we never could
have done when we were first
starting out.”
She called the Sibelius Sym-
phony No. 2 an “epic” piece
that many musicians in the
MCO “have played or wanted
to play.”
“It’s a very moody piece,

Clark Street announces initiative to help area veterans

Students at Clark Street Com-
munity School, a project-based
charter school for high school
students in the District, have de-
veloped “Operation: Ready Aim
Comfort” in an effort to provide
supplies for area veterans.
Supplies and donations are
being collected through March 5.
Donations can be dropped off at
CSCS, Middleton High School,
Harbor Athletic Club, Middleton
Public Library, Pizza Brutta and
Simply Savvy. A list of items is
below.
During last term at CSCS in a
class called Space for Learning:
Community Activism, students
had the opportunity to learn about
local social justice activism, junior
Apsara Dubas said.
In addition, a recent week-long
opt-in had students connecting
with Diane Syzmanski, a local
social worker who is active with
the homeless population and runs
outreach programming through
Facebook for Veterans, called
VetConnect. The presentation
intrigued several student and
Syzmanski had them serve lunch
at The Beacon, a social service in
Madison.
Three CSCS students – Dubas,
Megan Germann & Katherine
Perez-Wilson – then decided to
develop a project that would help
the homeless community in Dane
County.
The project’s goal is to collect
food, hygiene, and practical item
donations to create packages for
local homeless veterans, as well
as spreading awareness of issues
many veterans face in today’s
world. Issues include homeless-
ness, mental health concerns, sub-
stance and domestic abuse.
Approximately 3,500 in the
Madison area experience home-
lessness each year, according to
Porchlight Inc. and 11 percent
of those are veterans, the Dane
County Homeless Report stated.
“We hope that through our
drive we will be able to give a lit-
tle hope and support to our local
community and once again shed
light on these issues,’’ Dubas said.
Items still needed include: Granola Bars
(soft); Water Bottle/Canteens; Clean Water;
Deodorant Hotel Size Soaps + Shampoos
(liquid + non liquid); Feminine hygiene
products; Dental Products (including tooth-
brushes and dental floss); Face Towel Wipes
+ Sanitation wipes; Tissues (travel packs);
Hair Brush/Ties; Band Aids & Antibacte-
rial ointment; Razors; Shaving Cream; Mini
Flashlight; New Socks; New Underwear;
Hats/Gloves/Scarves; Playing Cards; Pens/

County Board approves easement for North Mendota Trail

Three key land purchases to
improve outdoors opportunities
for bicyclists, hikers, paddlers
and anglers went before the
Dane County Board on Thurs-
day night. All three were ap-
proved.
The first was funding for
a 3.5-acre easement along
County M for an off-road bicy-
cle and pedestrian connection
as part of the North Mendota
Trail. The town of Westport,
village of Waunakee and city of
Middleton are working to com-
plete various segments of the
trail, which will eventually link
Pheasant Branch Conservancy,
Mendota County Park, Schum-
acher Farm County Park and
Governor Nelson State Park.
The next was a 60-acre ad-
dition to the Sugar River Nat-
ural Resource Area, a popular
destination for trout fishing,
canoeing and kayaking. The
acquisition includes a 2/3-mile
stretch of frontage on both sides
of the river along with an 1860
limestone Greek Revival house
on Highway 69 that was a his-
toric stagecoach stop.
The last was the purchase of
160 acres of land from the De-
partment of Natural Resources
in the towns of Dunn and Pleas-
ant Springs that was offered
only to Dane County. The land
provides a key segment for ex-
pansion of the Lower Yahara
River Trail, linking the village
of McFarland to Lake Kegonsa
State Park.
Funding for remodeling of
the barn at the Schumacher
Farm County Park, as well as
site improvements, were also
approved.
Dane County Board Chair
Sharon Corrigan (Middleton)
says the county is continuing to
lead on conservation and recre-
ation projects despite reduced
support from the state of Wis-
consin. She noted that the three
purchases under consideration
Thursday are located where
they can provide recreational
opportunities for thousands of
residents.
“One of the Board’s prior-
ities is connecting our county
populations centers to the
county’s wonderful natural re-
sources,” she said. “It’s import-
ant that all our citizens have
easy access to the outdoors,
and these purchases help fur-
ther that goal.”
The 37-member, nonpartisan
Dane County Board of Super-
visors represents the needs and
welfare of all residents of Dane
County, Wisconsin, and sets
policy for County operations
in the areas of human needs,
infrastructure, criminal justice,
the environment and County
finance.  
The County Board meets
twice monthly at 7 p.m. in the
City-County Building.

Kromrey Middle School
principal Steve Soeteber sent a
message to parents and guard-
ians to inform them that the
student passed away unexpect-
edly. He extended thoughts
and sympathies to the student’s
family, as well as urging par-
ents to help their children
grapple with the difficult news.
Student services workers were
made available throughout the
week for students and staff.
Staff were told to release any
student from class who needed
support.
Student services staff also
met with the student’s close
friends, along with students
who were classmates. Extra
student support team members
from around the school district
were also sent to Kromrey.
A message read to students
at the school stated, “all of us
want to tell you that we are here
to help you in any way we can.”
“A death presents us with
many questions that we may
not be able to answer right
away. Rumors may begin to
circulate and we ask that you
not spread rumors you may
hear,” the statement continued.
“Please refrain from using so-
cial media in any way at this
time. We will do our best to
give you accurate information
as it becomes available.”
“Each of us will react to the
student’s death in our own way
and we need to be respectful
of each other,” it continued.
“There are many appropriate
feelings you may experience
related to this loss. Some of
you may not have known the
student very well, while others
may experience a great deal of
sadness. Some of you may find
you’re having difficulty con-
centrating on your schoolwork
and others may find that diving
into your work is a good dis-
traction.”
“We will try to keep the
school routine as normal as
possible over the next few days.
Please contact the school office
if you feel your child is in need
of additional assistance,” wrote
Soeteber. “We have a list of
school and community mental
health resources.”
“Whenever there is a death
in our school community, it im-
pacts all of us and it brings up
questions from children about
loss,” he continued. “If your
child asks you any questions,
we encourage you to speak with
your child honestly and simply.
Encourage them to talk openly
about how they feel and to ask
questions. You may not have all
of the answers and that is OK.”

All letters must include the author’s name, address and phone
number. We won’t publish your address and number, but we need to
be able to verify who you are. Anonymous letters and letters written
under pseudonyms will not be considered.
We prefer letters that are fewer than 600 words and take as their
starting point an issue that is important to our community and our
readers. To write a guest column of more than 600 words, contact
the editor first.
Letters are edited for clarity, fact checked and sometimes trimmed
to fit the space available in the newspaper. The opinions expressed
are always the writer’s own. The editor won’t try to make you seem
more (or less) intelligent than you really are, but may clean up some
grammatical issues according to our style guide. We want your
opinions, even when we don’t agree with them. But this isn’t the
Internet, so you can’t just say anything you want. Try to base your
letters on reason and fact. We will not publish claims that are
demonstrably false.
For additional information, contact mgeiger@newspubinc.com.

Storytime News
Storytime is keeping us
moving this winter! Join us on
Tuesdays at 10 AM for Wig-
glers and Gigglers (babies and
toddlers) and on Thursdays at
10AM for Bid Kids Booktime
(preschoolers). With the prev-
alence of the flu, we’re ask-
ing our storytime community
to help us try to keep the toys
and equipment in the storytime
room as clean as we can. There
is now a bin for depositing toys
that your kids have used. You
will also find a cleaner substi-
tute for the sand in our very
popular sandbox. The sand will
return in the spring, when flu
season is over. And of course,
if you or your children are ill,
please enjoy library materials at
home instead of bringing them
into the library storytime room
A 7-Week Workshop Series proven
to reduce falls in older adults.
‹ Learn from professionals
‹ Discover the role of vision and medications
‹ Learn balance and strength activities and strategies
‹ Understand your risk factors and fall hazards
‹ Gain awareness and confidence

cial keepsake record book and
book bag for your child. For
more information, check out

We’ll have a celebration for
our finishers in the fall, so keep
bringing in those record books,
and have your kids climb the
reading tree!
Read to a Dog
Chase, our canine reading
buddy, will be at the library
from 4 to 5:30 PM on Mon-
days, March 19, April 16th,
and May 21st. This is a great
opportunity, particularly for
reluctant readers, to practice
reading skills with a happy and
appreciative listener. Call the li-
brary to reserve your 15 minute
session!
Family Book Club
Start off spring break with a
family gathering at the library
on Monday, March 26th, 6:30-
7:30 PM to discuss the classic
Newbery award winning mid-
dle-grade novel, A Wrinkle in
Time, by Madeline L’Engle.
And as always, we’ll supply

Zoning continued from page 1

more standards and process for
public input.
Plan commission member
Cindy Zellars said she felt it
was very important to make the
ordinance more clear.
“I feel very strongly about
this ordinance change as has
been evidenced by history in
the last few years when the staff
has explained to us that PDDI
was created a long time ago for
another purpose and that what
we are actually using is PDD,”
Zellars said.
Mayor Gurdip Brar agreed
with Zellars.
“If you have the rules on the
books you should follow it, so
in that respect I think staff is
doing the right thing, because
I’ve asked them again and
again if we have this why aren’t
we following it,” Brar said.
Brar asked planning director
Eileen Kelley if she thought the
PDD zoning would cover all
aspects of the zoning require-
ments for infill developments.
“The standards that are ap-
plied in the PDD infill don’t
make sense for an infill proj-
ect,” Kelley responded. “[With
PDD] we have all these other
requirements we look at: storm
water management, integration
into the neighborhood, scale of
the building and more.”
Plan commission member
Kurt Paulsen said he had one of
his graduate students compare
Middleton’s zoning ordinance
to surrounding communi-
ties. He said what they found
was that it appears no other
community in Dane County
places floor area ratio caps on
Planned Development Districts
(PDD) and suggested that also
be removed. Paulsen said Sun
Prairie has different classes of
PDD, including an infill one,
but it doesn’t have a floor area
ratio cap.
“No one else has anything
like this and the issue is we
have to have some way to have
a design process and PDD is the
process that gives us that public
hearing and that input and flexi-
bility,” Paulsen said.
Paulsen also suggested that
the city could consider amend-
ing the PDD ordinance process
in the future to provide for en-
hanced public participation,
beyond the current level. “It’s
something we could do to ad-
dress some neighbor concerns,”
he said.
A motion to recommend to
the council repealing PDD-I
and remove the minimum par-
cel size for PDD was made by
Zellars and passed the by the
plan commission unanimously.

slept overnight in chairs when
winter or summer storms are
expected which usually pro-
duce the highest call volume,
said Harris.
Also, people are more vul-
nerable to injury or possibly
less aware at night, he said.
“People are at their highest
risk at night. They go to bed
and their senses go to bed, too,”
and may take longer to react to
danger, he said.
Moving out a desk and add-
ing a bed, ceiling fan and win-
dow shades will offer privacy
and some comfort to anyone
staying over.
A sleeper sofa and air mat-
tresses will be used if overnight
staffing needs to be increased
beyond the one bedroom.
Separate accommodations
for male and female fighters
will be provided, Harris said.
Fire Station #1 was built with
sleeping quarters and more than
20 firefighters have stayed on
stormy nights, Harris said.
It’s not unheard of for a
volunteer fire department, like
Middleton’s, to have sleeping
quarters for its members, said
Harris.
The idea has been discussed
for some time, said Harris, but
was researched by Lieut. De-
neen Wiske before presented to
the to the Middleton Fire Com-
mission on Feb. 15.
The commission unani-
mously authorized $3,500 for
the project.
The quarters should be com-
pleted within a month, Harris
said.
More officers and firefighters
are offering to staff Fire Station
#2 overnight, just like at Fire
Station #1, if sleeping quarters
are available, said Harris.
“Obviously, it’s a huge bene-
fit for us if we have people there
ready to respond at a moment’s
notice through the night,” he
said.
Firefighters will be paid to
sleep overnight at Fire Station
#2, but not much. When some-
one stays from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
they will be paid on average be-
tween $15 and $20, Harris said.
The sleeping quarters will
also be available to sheriff’s
deputies based at the nearby
town hall. It would come in
handy when they can’t travel
snowbound roads or emergen-
cies would require an extended
stay, he said.
Eventually, sleeping quar-
ters will be added to Fire Sta-
tion #3, the former Community
State Bank, at the intersection
of CTH M and Q, which was
acquired this summer.
A ready response vehicle is
kept at Fire Station #3. The fire
district is working on adding a
heating unit to the back of the
rig to keep the water stored on
board from freezing.

Gun store bill gets hearing SCOUTING NEWS

Last week, the Assembly Committee on
Criminal Justice and Public Safety held a public
hearing on AB 728, which would require retail
businesses that sell firearms to secure all firearms
when the business is unattended.
Last April, a Janesville gun shop was robbed
of eighteen guns and two silencers by an individ-
ual who smashed a glass door to gain entry. The
man responsible has been convicted, but the fire-
arms have not been recovered. In October of last
year, criminals drove a vehicle through the front
window of a Cross Plains gun shop and were able
to get away with fourteen firearms. Last month,
the same Janesville gun store from the April inci-
dent was burglarized, and seven handguns were
stolen. The next day another gun store in Oregon,
Wisconsin, was burglarized and fourteen guns
were stolen in less than two minutes after the ini-
tial break-in.
“When firearms are not secured after hours,
these shops are easy targets for criminals who
can break-in and within minutes walk away with
several firearms. These stolen guns turn up on our
streets, in the hands of criminals, posing a danger
to the community,” said Rep. Subeck. “This com-
mon sense legislation will keep firearms out of
the hands of criminals and make our communities
more secure.”
Under the bill, each firearm that is located in a
place of business where these weapons are sold
must be secured using one of five methods when
the business is closed.

Booster Club fundraiser

The annual Middleton High School Booster
Club’s FUN-Raiser (formerly Tailgate Party)
will feature a Hoedown-themed evening.
Join the team and help support our MHS
Cardinals on Saturday, February 24, 7:00
p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at KEVA Sports Center.
Tickets are $50 per person (must be 21) and
are available at middletonboosterclub.com.
“We are banking on another stellar
year,” said MHS Athletic Director Bob
Joers. “If it wasn’t for the funds the Cardinal
Booster Club raises, we wouldn’t have the
amazing athletic programs that we do.”
The MHS FUN-Raiser pa”rty is one of two
fundraising events that provide student athletes
with what they need to succeed!” he continued.
“ We all know how important sports can be in
a teenager’s life, and we know how expensive
it can be. Funds raised will help support
MHS’ successful Strength and Conditioning
Program, Team Jerseys, Scholarship Fund
for Low-income Athletes and much more.

Scouts spend weekend at Hoard Curtis Camp
The Boy scout motto is “Be Prepared” and this was the theme of Cross Plains Troop 87’s
weekend February 9-12.  The Troop spent the weekend at Hoard Curtis scout Camp on Lake
Ripley just outside of Cambridge. 
In order for Troops to engage in “high adventures” like backing for a week through the
mountains of New Mexico or paddling the boundary waters there must be adults present that
are certified in Wilderness First Aid.  This weekend Troop 87 was able to get Dr. Rodney Erik-
son of the Mayo Health Care System to join them in camp and get eleven adults certified in the
two-day course. 
While the adults were in class, in the cabin, the Scouts were outdoors working on require-
ments for the Wilderness Survival merit badge.  Finding water, edible plants, and building
shelters were some of the subjects covered.
In the evening, Scouts slept in makeshift shelters.  Most Scouts and some adults spent the
nights quite cozy in refrigerator boxes covered in snow for insulation.  A couple of adults built
a shelter from a tarp and poles.  Nobody froze and most were so sound asleep Sunday morning
they were unaware of the snow that began to fall late in the evening Saturday.
Troop 87 meets every 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Tuesday of the month at the Cross Plains Legion Hall
at 7:00 pm.  Anyone, parent or youth, wanting to more about what scouting has to offer is wel-
come to attend a meeting.
Pictured above, Scouts watch as the fire begins to kindle with their cardboard box shelters in
the background.

finish were fading fast. With

Then along came Michael

With his team needing a

fashion. Facing a huge defi-

– to lift the Cardinals’ boys’
swim team to a second place

Momentum.
The girls basketball postsea-
son has arrived. And few teams
around have as much momen-
tum as Middleton’s girls bas-
ketball team.
The Cardinals capped the
regular season on a high last
Saturday night. Middleton
went the length of the court in
4.2 seconds and Haley Dunn
drilled a three-pointer at the
buzzer to give the Cardinals
an improbable 65-64 win over
Madison East.
“It was a great example of
‘it ain’t over till it’s over,’
” Middleton coach Jeff Kind
said.
Middleton finished the year
15-7 overall and captured sole
possession of third place in
the Big Eight at 13-5. The
Cardinals won their final five
games and 12 of their last 14.
Middleton led East by as
many as 12 points in the second
half, but the Purgolders (14-4,
16-6) charged back.
Leading by two, East missed
the second of two free throws
with 4.2 seconds left. Halle
White grabbed the rebound,
took one dribble and fired
ahead to Dunn.
Dunn took a dribble, then
hit a runner from just out-
side the three-point line at the
buzzer to give the Cardinals
their second dramatic win over
the Purgolders this season.
Middleton also won at East,
51-50, on Jan. 9.

Boys basketball team lands No. 7 seed
Bavery optimistic about
MHS’ postseason path
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Kevin Bavery was ecstatic.
Bavery, Middleton’s boys’
basketball coach, has believed
for weeks that Sun Prairie is the
class of their WIAA Division 1
sectional. So when Bavery and
his fellow coaches held their
postseason seeding meeting
Sunday, many were hoping to
wind up on the opposite side
of the bracket of mighty Sun
Prairie.
For Middleton, things
couldn’t have worked out any
better.
The Cardinals received
the No. 7 seed in the sec-
tional and will host 10th-seed-
ed Oconomowoc in a WIAA
regional semifinal on March
2 at 7 p.m. If Middleton wins
there and the seeds hold, it
would travel to second-seeded
Waunakee for a regional final
on March 3 at 7 p.m.
The sectional semifinals
are March 8 and the sectional
finals are March 10.
Sun Prairie earned the No.
1 seed, so Middleton couldn’t
face the rival Cardinals until a
sectional final.
“So often we’ve ended up
playing a Big Eight team for
the third time round by round,”
Bavery said Sunday night.
“So it’s a refreshing change
and from a travel standpoint it
couldn’t have worked out any
better.”
It almost฀฀ worked out dif-
ferently. ฀฀฀
After the initial votes were
cast in the 18-team section-
al, Middleton and Kenosha
Bradford were tied as the No.
7 seed. Bavery and Bradford
coach Greg Leech were both
given a chance to argue why
their team deserved the higher
seed.
After both men finished,
there was a re-vote and 11 of
the 16 coaches decided that the
Cardinals were worthy of the
higher seed.
“We think we put together
a great argument for the high-
er seed based on the strength
of our conference and our
non-conference opponents,”
Bavery said. “So we were able

Brett Michaels (21) and Middleton’s boys basketball team cruised past Beloit Memorial last Friday.
Middleton rolls by Beloit
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Middleton’s boys basketball
team knew there was no room
for error.
The Cardinals, fighting
for the highest possible post-
season seed, fully understood
they couldn’t stumble at Beloit
Memorial last Friday.
The Purple Knights put a
mini-scare in the Cardinals
and trimmed Middleton’s early
11-point lead to 35-32 by half-
time. But Middleton’s second
half was one of its best of the
season and it pulled away to a
relatively easy 77-53 win over
host Beloit.
Middleton improved to 12-9
overall and 10-7 in the Big
Eight Conference, while Beloit
slipped to 6-15, 5-12.
“The ball went inside early
and often in the second half,”
Middleton coach Kevin Bavery
said. “We were able to bump
it to double figures and never
looked back.”
Middleton senior forward
Brogan Brunker led all scor-
ers with 27 points, including 17
after intermission. Senior for-
ward Davis Roquet made five
three-pointers and added 21
points, while senior guard Nick
Michaels hit three three-pointers
and scored 11 points.
Beloit’s Trayvon Fair led the
Purple Knights with 20 points,
but had just two in the sec-
ond half. Middleton senior Joel
Ticknor and junior Jack Boyle
tag-teamed Fair in the second
half and slowed down the Purple
Knights’ standout.
“Joel and Jack did a great
job on him in the second half,”
Bavery said. “He only had
two points, really didn’t get a
three-point look without a really
strong shot challenge, and had
to work a lot harder getting the
ball. When he gave it up and got
it back it was rarely in position
to make an immediate play as
we denied him enough to push
him well outside the arc.”
Early on, it looked like
Middleton might cruise to an
easy win.
Amazingly, the Cardinals hit
three-pointers on their first six
possessions and jumped to an
18-7 lead. Roquet went 4-of-4
on three-pointers and Michaels
was 2-for-2.
“I’ve never seen that before,”
Bavery said of beginning the
game 6-of-6 on three-pointers.
“I remember a sectional semifi-
nal win over Craig when I was
coaching at Oregon where we
hit four threes in our first four
possessions to go up 12-2, but
six is unheard of. It was 6-of-6
on our first six possessions.”
The Purple Knights chipped
away, though, and closed within
35-32 by halftime.
Fair went 3-for-3 on
three-pointers and his 18 points
helped the Purple Knights claw
their way back.
“We told our guys, ‘Listen,
we could be up by 10 or more, so
we’re in control. We just have to
make some adjustments on Fair
and really focus on inside touch-
es,’ ” Bavery said. “Every time
the ball went inside in the first
half something good happened,
TIMES-TRIBUNE
Times-Tribune photo by Mary Langenfeld
so that was the message.
“I think assistant coach Jerry
Raffel said it best when he said,
‘The good news is we went
6-of-6 from the three-point line
to start the game, and the bad
news is we went 6-of-6 from
the three-point line to start the
game.’ When that happens we
sometimes call it Fool’s Gold
because it comes too easy. We
started to take some threes that
weren’t in rhythm instead of
getting inside touches first with
an inside-out emphasis.”
Middleton did a much better
job in the second half pound-
ing the ball inside, primarily to
Brunker. And the Cardinals did
a terrific job of taking Fair away.
Middleton also shot 20-of-26
from the free throw line for the
game (76.9%) and 9-of-11 down
the stretch (81.8%).
Senior forward Alan Roden
led the Cardinals with nine
rebounds. The 6-foot Roden
now has 163 rebounds this sea-
son, the third-most in Bavery’s
12 years as Middleton’s head
coach.

“We were a little sloppy

Year ends for

hockey Cards
There were no upsets.
No playoff magic.
The postseason ended almost
as quickly for Middleton’s
hockey team as it began.
Host Sun Prairie routed
Middleton, 8-3, in a WIAA
regional final last Thursday.
Middleton finished the year
11-12-2, its second losing sea-
son in five years under head
coach Steffon Walby.
Sun Prairie rolled past
Middleton twice during the
regular season. And it was
much of the same the third time
these teams met.
Sun Prairie erupted for five
goals in the first 11 minutes, 34
seconds. And for all practical
purposes, Middleton’s season
was over.
Middleton did get a power
play goal from Bo Bergenthal
before the first period ended to
close within 5-1. And after Sun
Prairie scored just 1:39 into
the second period, Middleton’s
Andrew Chafe struck for a pair
of goals to pull MHS within
6-3.
But Sun Prairie tacked on
two third period goals to finish
off Middleton’s season.

after winning a sectional title. first matches at sectionals.

“But definitely there was a lot
of motivation this year com-
ing off that loss (in the state
finals).”
Meicher received a first-
round bye in the sectional
quarterfinals when Holmen
junior Wyatt McCutchen
forfeited due to an illness.
Meicher then pinned Sparta
senior David Hayes in 3:59 in
the semifinals.
Meicher then defeated Sauk
Prairie’s Bryant Schaaf in the
sectional finals, 7-0, to earn
his third straight state tourna-
ment berth.
“Kevin has been a pleasure
to coach this year,” Middleton
coach Kent Weiler said.
“We are excited to get to the
Kohl Center and win the next
match.”
Meicher, who went 43-3 as
a freshman and 46-5 last year,
carries a 132-8 career record
back to state.
Meicher will meet
Oconomowoc junior Keagan
Lazar (31-7) in a first round
match Thursday at 3 p.m.
But now, all attention turns
to Meicher and Dion Huff.
“My expectation for the
both of them is to not worry
about winning or losing, just
keep scoring points and per-
form,” Weiler said. “They are
trusting the process and have
done the work — chopped
wood and carried water, so to
speak — throughout the entire
season. On Thursday they con-
tinue to reap the rewards of
everything they have done up
until this point.”

Thursday evening, the semi-
finals are Friday at approxi-
mately 7 p.m., and the finals
would be Saturday at roughly
5 p.m.
“I just go out there and
wrestle my guy like it’s any
other guy,” Meicher said of his
strategy. “I just try to wrestle
my match and not wrestle his
match.”
Huff (33-8) earned his first
state berth with a 7-2 decision
over Sauk Prairie’s Marcus
Hankins at 195 in the finals.
Huff pinned Sparta freshman
Madden Connelly in 4:25
in the quarterfinals and won
an 18-4 major decision over
Holmen senior Kyle Burkhardt
in the semifinals.
Huff was a Big Eight
Conference runner-up and also
won the regional title, defeat-
ing Sauk Prairie’s Marcus
Hankins.
“I got third at sectionals last
year,” Huff said. “That defi-
nitely motivated me. Coming
in this year, I decided I had
to top the place I got last year
and put in a lot of work.”
Huff will meet Kettle
Moraine’s Josh Nowak (44-2)
— the No. 4 ranked wrestler
at 195 — in Thursday’s first
round match.
“It’s an amazing feeling,”
Huff said. “All of the hard
work has paid off.”
Meicher was extremely
pleased for Huff, as well.
“I’m proud of him,”
Meicher said. “I knew he
would be here some day and
to make it senior year is good
for him.”
Middleton’s Joseph
Hoffman finished fourth at
sectionals at 138 pounds and
missed out on a trip to state.
Hoffman opened with a
12-6 win over Dylan Casey of
Portage, but then fell to Pablo
Ramirez of Baraboo, 9-2.
In the third place match, Ty
Miller of Waunakee defeated
Hoffman, 12-8.
