Firefighters Remember 9/11 Town of Middleton Board

Considers Street Improvements
By Kevin Murphy
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–The Town
of Middleton is considering
the intersection of Airport and
Bronner roads for an estimated
$1 million upgrade next year.
That portion of Airport Rd.
had a 35 mph posted speed
limit and was built to a design
for a speed of 40 mph when it
was reconstructed several years
ago. Since then, town board su-
pervisors increased the posted
speed limit to 45 mph and mo-
torists frequently travel faster
than that, said Town Adminis-
trator David Shaw.
The road crests a hill near
Bronner Rd. decreasing vis-

$1,150 fee per new lot to re-
cover construction costs.
However, more recently, the
board gave Veridian Homes
an exception when it created
the Daybreak Valley residen-
tial subdivision and accepted
a $50,000 contribution ear-
marked for the Bronner and
Airport Roads intersection.
“That was a special case,”
said Shaw, who couldn’t re-
member the board granting a

to improve portions of Koch

The town’s Public Works

Shaw was hesitant to name
the project as the town’s top
priority for next year.

said.
Plans call for installing traf-

sion of engineering options pro-
posed for the intersection.

City Council Endorses School Referendum fenses, after a Racine County

By Cameron Bren
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–School district
Superintendent George Mav-
roulis and spokesman Perry
Hibner presented information
to the city council about the
referendum questions appear-
ing on the November ballot at
their Sept. 4 meeting. The funds
would be used to build a new
elementary school, expand the
high school and fund opera-
tions. Following the presenta-
tion, the council directed staff
to publish an official endorse-
ment of the referendum by the
city.
The referendum will ask two
questions as required by state
law. One for capital costs and
another for operating costs.
Question one will ask for vot-
ers to approve $138.9 million to
build a new elementary school
and expand the high school.
Questions two asks approval
for $4.8 million annually for
operations.
Hibner said the total tax im-
pact would be about $85 per
$100,000 of property value.
Mavroulis told city officials
that overcrowding in the
schools is reaching a critical
point. The district has experi-
enced record growth for the last
four years, he said. “We are the
fastest growing district in Dane
County over past three years
and I am confident we will be
for a fourth year,” he said.
He explained that the district
has grown with about 180 new
students each year for the last
three years and has taken in an-
other 230 this year.
Mavroulis said Middleton has
become a very attractive place
for people to move because of
the vibrant community, stable
business climate and strong
schools.
“We are interconnected to cre-
ate this synergy where a highly
valued community exists,” he
said. “We have created a situ-

ation where many, many fam-
ilies want to move here and
have their children go to school
here.”
He then gave an overview of
some of the overcrowding
issues the district is facing.
He said West Middleton Ele-
mentary built two temporary
classrooms and have students
in spaces not designed as class-
rooms.
The district is at capacity in
every school at the elementary
level and over capacity at the
high school, Mavroulis noted.
Enrollment projections the dis-
trict generated working with
the UW Applied Populations
Lab and an urban planner have
been exceeded every year for
the past four years and are ex-
pected to keep increasing.
The growth is throughout all
grade levels in the district, but
the facility planning committee
decided to focus on high school
and middle school since that is
where greatest needs are.
“We are packed at the middle
level as well, but we can’t do
it all at once,” Mavroulis said.
“By the year 2022 we are going
to be nearly 300 students over
capacity, but I think that is
going to be sooner because we
are already exceeding projec-
tions.”
Hibner pointed out that the last
time the district added a new fa-
cility was in 1996 when Glacier
Creek and Sunset Ridge were
built. He noted the referendum
in 2012 to expand Kromrey,
but said that was not enough to
keep up with the growth.
“In 1996 our enrollment was
about 4800 this year it is about
7240,” Hibner said. “We have
to have space to put those kids
somewhere.”
He said participation in the fa-
cility planning committee was
overwhelming. They had about
60 applicants and 20 members
from all parts of the district.
The results of a survey the dis-
trict conducted showed strong
support for building a new
school including a majority in
support among people who do
not have children in the district.
Mavroulis said the district has
been moving towards custom-
izable paths to graduation com-
bining traditional school with
project based learning and on-
line classes. He said that shift
in education would shape the
design of the new school and
renovations.
He shared some renderings he
described as dynamic, flexible,
modern learning spaces which
prepare kids for modern work-
ing environments. He said the
district is considering opening
up the spaces in the evening for
community use.

Walker Campaign Regurgitates Case of MCPASD
Teacher Viewing Porn to Claim Evers Incompetence
By Kevin Murphy
Times-Tribune
Walker Campaign Regurgitates
Case of MCPASD Teacher
Viewing Porn to Claim Evers
Incompetence
By Kevin Murphy
While Gov. Scott Walker
makes a campaign issue over
opponent Tony Evers’ failure to
revoke the license of a Glacier
Creek Middle School teacher
for viewing pornography at
work, the Middleton-Cross
Plains school board spent more
than $600,000 in an unsuccess-
ful effort to terminate him.
Evers is and was the State
Superintendent of Schools
when the school board tried to
fire Andrew Harris in 2010 for
viewing on a classroom com-
puter, pornography his sister
had emailed him.
During its investigation, the
district learned that Harris and
six other teachers had viewed
inappropriate material at school
or elsewhere on school laptops.
Five teachers were suspended
between three and 12 days, one
received a letter of reprimand,
and Harris’ contract was termi-
nated effective May 2010.
The Middleton Cross
Plains Area School District
(MCPASD) based Harris’ ter-
mination on the volume and of-
fensive content of the emails he
received, which they concluded
were worse than those found on
other teachers’ email accounts.
Also, that Harris shared them
with other teachers.
Because his termination was
based on immoral conduct,
then-Superintendent Donald
Johnson had to report the dis-
missal to the Department of
Public Instruction which Evers
heads. Johnson also requested
that Harris’ license be revoked.
At the time, state law did
not authorize the state superin-
tendent of schools to outright
dismiss a teacher on a moral
violation without a hearing.
Harris, who had taught in the
district since 1993, took his dis-
missal to arbitration, which was
his right under the collective
bargaining agreement. After an
18-day hearing, the arbitrator
reversed Harris’ termination
finding it excessive in compar-
ison to the discipline imposed
on the other teachers and or-
dered his reinstatement.
The district appealed that to
the Dane County Circuit Court,
which upheld arbitrator’s find-
ings. The district challenged
that decision, but an appeals
court upheld the circuit court
and the state Supreme Court
declined the district’s petition
to hear the case.
During the litigation, the
district incurred legal fees in
excess of $656,000 through
June 2014, said Perry Hibner,
MCPASD spokesman. Harris’
back pay, his attorney fees,
legal fees the Wisconsin School
Board Association paid, and
other costs pushed expenses
to $1 million, said attorney
Willie Haus, who represented
the Middleton Education As-
sociation and Harris during the
lengthy termination process.
Harris returned to teaching
science, although at Kromery
Middle School, where he has
not been subject to further dis-
ciplinary action. In fact, “he’s a
popular and requested teacher,”
Haus said.
In his first TV ad of the cam-
paign Walker accused Evers
of not doing enough to revoke
Harris’ teaching license for
viewing porn. When Repub-
licans proposed a bill to make
viewing pornography on school
grounds punishable by license
revocation, GOP leaders said
Evers did not work had enough
to get it passed.
Evers did not personally tes-
tify before the Legislature in
support of the bill, but his staff
did.
Evers campaign spokesman
said that Walker is wrong about
the Harris’ case and raises it to
distract attention from his lack
of support for public education.
“Scott Walker knows that
Tony Evers, who has spent his
lifetime as an educator, has al-
ways put the safety of our stu-
dents first. But he’s resorting
to these false and disgusting
attacks because he can’t defend
his record and is a career pol-
itician desperate to hold onto
power. After eight years of
Walker’s divide and conquer
politics, Wisconsin is ready for
a change.”
Making an issue out of Har-
ris is exploitative and misstates
the law at the time, attorney
Haus said last week.
“The governor doesn’t know
what he’s talking about and
never mentions key facts which
are; the district didn’t treat
Andy like they treated everyone
else,” he said.
Unequal treatment was what
the arbitrator based his decision
on, which was upheld at every
other level at which it was ex-
amined by the courts.
“I know the DPI asked for all
the copies of everything looked
at by the courts. Evers waited
for the litigation to subside
and when it did, I’m sure legal
counsel advised him not to pur-
sue it any further,” Haus said.
Revocation required that a
student be affected by a teach-
er’s immoral conduct, but John-
son informed parents early on
that no students ever saw what
Harris viewed.
Evers couldn’t legally take
away Harris’ license if he
wanted to, said Haus.
“I think Harris is a more
moral person than the gover-
nor. Walker doesn’t respect our
judicial system and due process
individuals are granted under
the state and federal constitu-
tions,” Haus said.
Alec Zimmerman, commu-
nications director for the Wis-
consin Republican Party, said
Evers’ handling of the Harris
case has been an issue early on
and Walker has asked Evers to
revoke Harris’ license in 2014.

I have been friends with
Heather for well over 20 years,
she is like my sister, and I usu-
ally refer to her as such. Her
kids call us Aunt Michelle and
Uncle Matt.
In the middle of the night on
Friday into Saturday, I got a
series of text message from her
that my niece, Keyla, had been
in a shooter situation during the
homecoming game at Hoover
High School in Des Moines
while she was cheerleading.
It was the first thing I saw on
my phone when I woke up in
the morning. I called her imme-
diately and she didn’t answer,
I texted and seconds later my
phone rang.
Apparently, there were just
two minutes left in the game
when a bunch of shots rang out.
People ran for the gates, creat-
ing melee, some going to their
cars, some a nearby church that
was open for a function and
others, including Keyla, a util-
ity shed next to the field.
Heather was not there at the
plans. She was sobbing on the
phone that she should have
been there, and what if Keyla
had been killed? It’s a sober-
ing thought that someone you
love could have been killed
by a bullet while doing some-
thing we deem normal, going
to a football game, or a movie,
mall, restaurant, or concert. Yet
thousands of families across the
country have felt that pain and
must stand by helplessly while
it happens over and over to
other families across the coun-
try.
No one was hurt in this inci-
dent, just scared, confused and
angry and later, police reported
that it came from a grassy area
between the pool and football
field. They also think it was a
drive by shooting.
I have been primarily an-

I grew up in Michigan, hunt-
ing and fishing. I had a BB gun,
then a .22. My family hunted
for food, not sport. I was taught
that you should never point a
gun at a person or animal you
don’t intend to shoot. I was
taught never to have a loaded
gun in the house and to keep the
ammo stored in a separate loca-
tion. We didn’t have a handgun
or semi-auto weapon, at all, but
I remember when people really
started to buy them in the ‘70s,
then their prevalence in our so-
ciety by the ‘80s.
When I met my husband, he
had a bunch of guns that he had
collected over the years, many
antique, and he had decided he
wanted to get rid of them. They
sat in our basement for years
until we began this move and
he didn’t want to keep them. I
wanted him to have them de-
stroyed, and we have argued
about it several times, but he in-
sisted on selling them. In some
ironic twist of fate, my husband
sold his guns to a dealer the
same day shots were fired near
our niece’s school.
That same day when I talked
to him he lamented at how hard
it is for an individual to sell a
gun, and he thinks that contrib-
utes to the staggering number
of guns we have in our society
(1.2 for every man woman and
band, a middle-aged man, who
collected guns in his youth,
but can’t sell them because of
weird and inconsistent laws.
Simply put: Guns = money.
Money from sales, money from
illegal trade, money to the judi-
cial system, and most disturb-
ing, money for the NRA.
A couple of New Year’s
Eves ago, we had a dinner party
at our house. My friend’s hus-
band had a pistol strapped to
his side. He is young, 24 at the
time, and beginning to collect
guns. After nearly everyone at
the party gave him a hard time
about bringing a gun to a dinner
party, much discussion ensued
when they left. All of the men
except one said they had gone
through a “gun phase” like
Gene.
This was a group of liberals,
not what many liberals think
when the stereotype of some-
one with multiple guns comes
up. Liberals want to think that it
is ignorant, right wing, nut jobs,

enough weapons to take down
a small country. It is not. Many
people, many people you would
not expect, have legal guns,

tained the guns legally or had
access to legal guns in their

the time guns have been on the
rise in the US, mental health
care has been reduced to next
to nothing.
People like to blame movies,
video games and music. They
blame the violent culture, and
the violent history of our nation,
and our country’s lifelong, love
affair with guns. I don’t think
that’s true. I can’t tell you how

video games. I don’t own a gun,
nor do I think about shooting
someone.
Discipline, respect, mor-
als, and mental healthcare are
what’s missing in addition to
gun laws that could actually
prevent shootings. But if you
bring up gun law reform, peo-
ple lose their minds.
It sickens me to think that
people continually try to jus-
tify the sale of human killing
weapons. I was so disgusted
and saddened when Wayne
LaPeirre, then head of the
NRA, came out after 20-plus
elementary kids were gunned
down at Sandy Hook, to say we
have copious amounts of guns
in case we need to overthrow
the country. Here’s a tip, you
will never overthrow the coun-
try with an AK-47 or an Uzi.
Never. The government will
squish you like a cockroach.
Next in the argument is the
Second Amendment, which
reads, “A well-regulated Mili-
tia, being necessary to the se-
curity of a free State, the right
of the people to keep and bear
Arms, shall not be infringed.”
A well-regulated militia. Peo-
ple I have met who are in mi-
litias can’t get along amongst
themselves, let alone join with
other militias. Let us not forget,
amendments can be amended.
Another argument is that
“the Nazis took away people’s
guns.” That may be true, but
that is not what caused Hitler’s
rise or the killing of millions
of innocent people. Fascism is
much more insidious and began
long before people were forced
to surrender their guns, and not
nearly as many people owned
guns in 1939 when the war
broke out.
Whatever the argument, it is

Most Deaf
I hung up on my grandmother
midsentence and turned away
from the phone.
She’d called the hospital to
find out how I was feeling. I
had a life-threatening case of
encephalitis and meningitis, so I
wasn’t great.
When they passed me the
cream-colored phone that
smelled of pathologies and
disinfectant, I held it up to my
right ear, as always, and heard
a barely perceptible mumbling
and a high-pitched ringing, like
some distant smoke alarm be-
neath which someone was mum-
bling. There was also a dash of
something like the snowy sound
of an old-fashioned television
that has lost its signal.
I shrugged, popped the phone
back in its cradle, and said to the
nurse: “There’s no one there.”
A few weeks later, when I
was at home trying to regain all
the weight I had lost, my parents
asked what the biggest change
had been since my sickness.
“The weirdest thing is how
I can’t talk on the phone any-
more,” I said. “Ever since I
went to the hospital, people keep
handing me the phone to talk to
friends and relatives, but there is
never anyone there.”
That’s how I learned that the
phones weren’t broken. I was.
Due to the infection, my right
ear had stopped working. All
that remained was the ability
to hear undiscernible mumbles.
But the universe giveth, and the
universe taketh away; my ability
to hear words had been replaced
by a constant, low ringing called
“tinnitus.”
For the next 20 years, I wore
my deafness like a cool scar.
Like one of those healed gashes
all kids wish for. Like Ta Moko,
the narrative tattoos etched into
Maori skin with albatross bone,
it became part of me, and part of
the developing story of my life.
When we are very young, we
are as curious as our parents and
teachers, as curious as everyone
else, to find out what kind of
person we will become. The self
grows with the body, and when
we gaze into the distant future,
we know we will be bigger, but
we never truly know if we will
become brave, happy, wise or
even just a little bit content. Life
as a child is defined by constant
revelations about both the outer
world and the inner self.
You learn at a young age that
very few things will stay with
you throughout your entire jour-
ney. Most of the small moments
that make up your daily life will
either be forgotten completely,
or will be repacked and stored in
the mysterious, magical depths
of your subconscious. You
watch Disney movies or read
old fairy tales and are reminded
over and over again that you will
probably lose your parents be-
fore your adventure concludes,
and you begin coming to terms
with the fact that there will inev-
itably be dragons and evil curses
along the way. (As C.K. Ches-

City Continues to Tally Storm Damage OBITUARY

Still Unclear if Federal Relief Funds Will Be Made Available
By Cameron Bren
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–City admin-
istrator Mike Davis presented
the latest flood damage tally
to the common council. Davis
says while the city will be eligi-
ble for state funds to recover the
cost of road repairs, it remains
unclear whether federal funds
will be available for businesses
and individuals.
While the total cost of dam-
age is still being counted, Davis
says the latest estimated tally
for residential damage is about
$4.7 million, for commercial
it is about $35 million and for
public infrastructure it is at
about $5.6 million of which
about $1.9 million is related to
the Pheasant Branch Conser-
vancy and creek corridor.
He said 37 businesses and 86
residences have reported dam-
age. The city is continuing to
ask residents to contact 211 to
report damage.
Davis said he attended a
meeting with the Wisconsin
Economic Development Cor-
poration, political representa-
tives and other local officials
in Cross Plains and got the un-
fortunate news that there would
not be any grants available for
businesses. Low interest loans
will be available through the
business administration, how-
ever.
Federal assistance through
FEMA may be available once
the total damage is assessed,
meets certain thresholds and
if it is approved by President
Donald Trump. If a declaration
of disaster is made there could
more money for loans available
to businesses and up to $33,000
for individuals, Davis said.
Without the federal declaration
the city is looking at assistance
from the state for public infra-
structure only, he added.
“After seeing the federal
declaration being made in 2008
I would think this should be a
slam dunk for Dane County to
get federal declaration,” Davis
said. “But some things are not
explainable like a 1000-year
storm event.”
Director of Wisconsin Emer-
gency Management Paul Cooke
clarified the determination for
declaration in an email to city
officials saying no determina-
tion has been made by FEMA
on whether Dane County or any
other county is eligible for indi-
vidual assistance.
“While the guidelines for
individual assistance suggest
there should be 582 homes that
have major damage or are de-
stroyed, this is not a hard and
fast threshold as there are sev-
eral other factors that are con-
sidered,” Cooke said. “FEMA
looks at the magnitude disaster
and its impact on the state and
to communities, including such
things as the number of people
displaced from their homes and
without essential services, the
number of homes affected and
those with minor damage, and
the amount of insurance cover-
age. FEMA will also consider
the impact on special popula-
tions, such as low-income, and
the elderly, and whether they
may have a greater need for as-
sistance.”
Cooke says at this point in
time, no formal request has
been made to FEMA for a
presidential declaration as the
damage assessment process for

lowing is a list of services

the state to report to EMA.

ture must be completed before
the request can be made. The
assessments must be submitted
by Sept. 16.
Senator Tammy Baldwin
has joined Representatives Ron
Kind, Mark Pocan and Glenn
Grothman in calling on the
Trump Administration to act
quickly to make federal funds
available and support recovery
efforts in communities across
the state.
Davis went over how the
emergency funds authorized
by the council have been used.
Of the $641,000 the council ap-
proved, $325,000 on clearing
the Pheasant Branch Conser-
vancy. The rest was spent on or
allocated to street repairs, emer-
gency response and cleanup.
He noted the fiber optic cable
connecting to the police depart-
ment became exposed. He said
city staff are working to bury
the cable again and will be able
to open the creek corridor once
it is repaired.
Davis said the Pheasant
Branch trail system needs to
be entirely rebuilt and many
could lose access to it entirely.
Monona Bank: Monona Bank
has established a fund to help
those affected by flood dam-
age in Dane County. To do-
nate, please bring or send in

The trails have been ADA com-
pliant for 11 years, but until
bridges and trails are rebuilt
that will not be the case. He
said the city staff are working
on signage with guidance from
the city attorney.
Ald. Howard Teal said given
the $641,000 approved for
emergency relief was already
spent or allocated, where did
Davis see continued funding
coming from.
Davis said a lot of the dam-
age occurred in the city’s TIF
District #5. He said legally it
could be a TIF expense and a
proposal would likely come to
the council.
Council president Susan
West said the city needs to
advocate to the county to do
more preparation and create
retention ponds and wetlands.
She also said the lake levels are
artificially high and should be
lowered.
Ald. Mark Sullivan said
however things are paid for
it should be done prudently.
Davis said he agreed and that
the city should plan out repairs
over the winter.

Maurice “Morry” H. Dawes
MIDDLETON/MUSKEGO -Maurice “Morry” H. Dawes, 74,
Middleton/Muskego, passed away on Sept. 7, 2018. Morry was
born June 17, 1944, at Stough-
ton Hospital, the son of J. Jo-
seph and Hazel M. Dawes. He
lived in Oregon, WI, until age
six, at which time the family
relocated to Middleton. Morry
graduated from Middleton
High School in 1962 and Mil-
ton College in 1968. He then
commenced a 50-year career in
the family trucking business in
Milwaukee. During those years,
he owned and operated Dawes
Transfer, Metals Transport, and Dawes Contract Carriage. While
continuing dual ownership in Dawes CC with his son, Joel, Morry
eventually decided he was happier traveling down the highway be-
hind the wheel of his favorite truck. He also entered his trucks at
local, state and national trucking industry shows, most often win-
ning first place.
Morry is survived by his sister, Jo Ann (Jo) Meyers; nephew
and niece, John Meyers and Jana Meyers; four children, Wm. Joel
(Sue), Lisa, Christopher (Cindy), and Kimberly (Steve) Miszewski;
eight grandchildren, Samantha and AJ Dawes, Sylvan, Mackenzie
and Peyton Dawes, Brynnley and Brock Dawes, and Cole Misze-
wski; and four step-grandchildren. Morry was preceded in death
by his Grandma Sholes; his parents; and his sister, Mary Dawes
Bulmahn, who lived with his donated kidney for 30 years.
Please join Morry’s family for a memorial gathering and light
refreshments at Gunderson West Funeral & Cremation Care, 7435

When I was a kid, I did not
like Brussels sprouts. To me
they were just heinous, little

dog, at best, who readily ac-

grown to love Brussels sprouts
as an adult, so I thought I’d

DANE COUNTY–After
Dane County received record
rainfall resulting in severe
flooding in in recent weeks,
the county announced it will
waive permit application fees
for erosion and shoreline con-
trol and zoning permits.
Continued rainfall and ris-
ing floodwaters have dam-
aged infrastructure, homes,
properties, and businesses
throughout the county. The
owners of these properties
will face tremendous costs in
rebuilding, including fees for
various county permits.
The repairs will still be
required to meet all appli-
cable state and federal laws
and regulations, particularly
those pertaining to develop-
ment and redevelopment in
shoreland zones and flood-

would apologize to the com-
plaining teacher but when he
did the teacher wouldn’t accept
it, finding it more threatening
than remorseful.
In late November of 2009,
the complaining teacher called
Superintendent Johnson to
discuss the Harris matter. She
wanted Keeler to understand
how disappointed she was in
how he handled the issue and
she wanted to make schedule
changes, so she would not have
to work daily with Harris.
The district was able to re-
cover the emails Harris had de-
leted and found 23 that Johnson
reviewed and rated on a movie
scale of PG-13, R and X. Some
Johnson found to be PG-13 but
the objectionable emails con-
tained nude or obscene images
of women, adult jokes and a
video of a midget having sex.
By the end of 2009, Johnson
and two other district officials
gave Harris the choice of re-
signing or being fire. Instead,
he was put on paid administra-
tive leave in December 2009,
which became unpaid leave on
Jan. 4, 2010. The school board
terminated him in May 2010.
The district notified the De-
partment of Public Instruction
that Harris had been terminated
for immoral conduct and asked
that his licensed be revoked.

tion in arbitration which re- The school district unsuc-

No number to call equaled no

“That’s okay, this beautiful
day can still be salvaged,” I
thought, driving between two
deep green cornfields in which
life surged upward toward the
sky.
I had to listen to one more
ad before the music resumed,
though.
“Do you snore at night?” said
a woman. “If you do, you have
sleep apnea and you are going
to die, most likely in about a
week!”
“Oh, come on!!” I thought.
The woman told me in great
detail that her life used to be
complete garbage. She was tired
all the time, she was sad and
confused, and she was the bane
of her husband’s existence. On
the upside, all that snoring
was doing terrible damage to
her heart, so her misery would
surely be short-lived - ended in
the very near future by complete
and eternal death. Then, and
only then could she and her hus-
band finally rest in peace.
“Did you know what people
who snore are despised by their
families and will die before they
get to see the final season of
‘Game of Thrones?’” she con-
tinued. “You, Matt! Everything
is wrong with you!”
I’m not sure that’s exactly
what she said. I am partially
deaf, after all. But that was the
general idea.
I knew what would come
next. She would tell me to call
a hotline and talk to a counselor
who specializes in snoring. Then
they would try to sell me some-
thing, probably a loud and ex-
pensive machine. But first they
would make me go to the doctor,
which of course would require
that I first win the lottery.

Middleton Artist Wins WRAP Award, Photography on Exhibit By Michelle Phillips
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–When peo-
ple think of botanical specimen
images, usually an old dusty
book with yellowed pages is
what comes to mind. Filled
with colorful prints of pencil
and watercolor depictions, but
a Middleton artist is putting a
new twist on botanical images,
through photography.
Annette Knapstein’s work
has warranted here many visual
art and photography awards
and honors over the past nine
years, her most recent recogni-
tion coming from the Wisconsin
Regional Art Program (WRAP).
in a variety of ways, and shot
straight down with my camera.”
Her involvement with WRAP
began when she was introduced
to the program by neighbor and
fellow artist, Marcia Nelson.
“I liked the idea that my work
would be hung with and evalu-
ated with many different types
of artwork, not just other photo-
graphs. she stated. I decided to
submit my work and to attend
the local Madison Workshop,
and I have been involved at the
local and state level ever since!
“I have a lot of respect for
the Wisconsin Regional Art
Program and for the artists who
take part in the program, so I am
flattered and proud to have been
selected to receive an award
at the state level. It’s a tangi-
ble sign that I have grown and
benefited from the workshops
WRAP hosts and from the rela-
tionships I have formed with the
other participants,” Knapstein
continued.
Her work can currently be
seen in the WRAP exhibition
at the University of Wiscon-
sin Pyle Center in Madison,
2018
through Sept. 22. In addition,
both Annette and Michael have
exhibits running at the Lowell
Center, 610 Langdon Street,
Madison until the end of Octo-
ber.
Entitled, “Double Vision:
Seasons of Change”, the ex-
hibit combines images that ex-
press distinctly different visions
of how the changing seasons
transform the world around us.
This exhibit displays Annette’s
Pictorialist style landscapes in
sepia tones and Michael’s more
contemporary color photos.

Knapstein was one of 50 artists
awarded by the organization,
of which she has been a part
for several years, and chosen to
display her artwork.

ago and shot mostly nature and

The most painful of endings

Memorial’s
Hail Mary
pass stuns
Middleton
BY GREGG HAMMILL
For the Times-Tribune
On one side, there was shock,
disbelief, and disappointment.
On the other side, there was
sheer jubilation.
The emotions were on full
display moments after Mid-
dleton’s football team suffered
a heartbreaking 30-27 loss to
Madison Memorial on the final
play of their Big Eight Confer-
ence game at Breitenbach Sta-
dium last Friday night.
The Cardinals were cling-
ing to a 27-24 lead with only 9
seconds remaining when Spar-
tans junior quarterback Jason
Ceniti took a snap on a third-
and-10 play from the Middleton
27-yard-line. Ceniti dropped
back and, just before getting hit,
heaved a high, arcing pass into
the end zone where the ball dis-
appeared into a pack of players.
As the entire stadium went
silent, Memorial tight end
Dryden Schaefer somehow
emerged with the ball setting
off a huge celebration by the
Spartans.
“He hiked the ball,” Middle-
ton senior defensive end Ortez
Lockett said. “I threw up a left
hand, hit him, but he threw it

Middleton’s girls win
Arrowhead Invitational
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Surprise, surprise.
Well, maybe not to Middle-
ton girls’ cross country coach
Alexa Richardson. But per-
haps it was a bit stunning to
her Cardinals.
Middleton won the 18-team
Hartland Arrowhead Invita-
tional last Thursday. The Car-
dinals finished with 78 points
and easily outdistanced run-
ner-up DSHA (142).
And while Richardson
wasn’t surprised, her team
certainly was.
“Although it was not a
shock for myself, it was a
shock for the girls,” Rich-
ardson said. “I knew how tal-
ented the girls were going into
the race, but the girls had no
clue just how good they are.”
News flash: they’re very
good.
Middleton freshman Lau-
ren Pansegrau finished second
overall, finishing the 5,000-
meter race in 19 minutes, 3
seconds.
“Even though Lauren is a
freshman, she races like a se-
nior,” Richardson said. “She
knows what she is doing,
knows how to compete, and
is not afraid to go for it.”
Junior Megan Schwartz
was 16th (20:05), freshman
Maddie Ruszkiewicz was
18th (20:07), freshman Erin
Gonter was 19th (20:08) and
junior Maeve Gonter was 23rd
(20:12).
“We have a solid top five
with Lauren Pansegrau,
Megan Schwartz, Maeve
Gonter, Erin Gonter, and
Maddie Ruszkiewicz,” Rich-
ardson said. “All summer
they have been practicing
‘pack running’ and it has re-
ally brought them all closer as
friends, as a team, and com-
petitively.
“The girls and myself
are ecstatic about Thurs-
day’s win! Having that confi-
dence put more fuel in the fire
and they are more determined
than ever now!
“I know all of the girls
have individual goals, but the
big goal is getting the team
to state this year. We have a
very young team this year,
but I know they’re all up for
the challenges ahead. After
(the) Verona (Invite) we were
ranked 17th in the state. I
anticipate that ranking will
change after this meet.”

Middleton’s boys roll at Arrowheadwas a solid start.”
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
The gang is slowly being
reassembled.
And when that group is
fully restored, look out.
Middleton’s boys’ cross
country team had most of its
top runners in action at the
Hartland Arrowhead Invite
last Thursday. And in an
event that featured five of the
top eight teams in the state,
Middleton ran away with the
title.
The Cardinals finished with
68 points to easily outdistance
runner-up Germantown (102).
Arrowhead (120), Mukwo-
nago (141) and Oconomowoc
(167) rounded out the top five.
“The boys ran well and I
know most were hoping for
a better result,” Middleton
coach Brian Finnel said. “We
weren’t going in very fresh
and that’s okay. I thought it
The Cardinals sat most of
their top runners at the Ve-
rona Invite on Sept. 1. This
time, Middleton rested stand-
out Caleb Easton and Roman
Ystenes battled through a hip
injury.
But the Cardinals brought
the rest of their heavy hitters
to Hartland and ruled the day.
Middleton junior Zach Lef-
fel was ninth overall, finish-
ing the 5,000-meter course in
16 minutes, 10 seconds.
“Zach Leffel had a terrific
start to the season,” Finnel
said. “He was one of the few
guys on varsity who PR’d. He
ran a very strong, smart race.
He moved up a bit after the
mile and finished in 16:09.”
Senior Michael Madoch
was 11th in 16:26, junior Egan
Johnson was 13 th (16:27),
junior Braedon Gilles was
16th (16:34) and junior Peter
Hoferle was 19th (16:38).
“Peter Hoferle has taken his
running to another level,” Fin-
nel said. “He had a big P.R.
I’m very excited at his season
outlook based on that season
opener.
“Not only did he run consis-
tently over the summer, but he
did track, which is so import-
ant for cross country. Peter
didn’t run track his freshman
year, but if you want to be the
best version of yourself as a
distance runner, you have to
do both. I think he’s had great
leaders to showcase that and
has bought into the system.”
Ystenes was in the hunt for
a top five finish early in the
race, before his hip started
bothering him and he settled
for 32nd place.
“I’d like to think he would
have finished top five,” Finnel
said of Ystenes. “So thinking
about that and the fact that
we still beat some of the best
in the state, it’s impressive.
Days like this, just demon-
strate how strong this team
is. I was pleased with how
well the team packed up and
worked together to start.”

Makenna Licking and Middleton’s girls swimming team won the Brookfield East Invite last Saturday.
Girls swimmers
keep on rolling
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Middleton’s girls swimming
and diving team has set a goal
of winning all of its meets this
season.
That immense challenge
grew even tougher last week-
end when the Cardinals had
three of their top swimmers on
college recruiting trips.
But Middleton — the two-
time WIAA Division 1 state
champion — did what it’s done
for years. It just kept on win-
ning.
First, the Cardinals downed
Madison Memorial, 106-64,
in a Big Eight Conference
dual meet last Friday. Middle-
ton then won the star-studded
Brookfield East Invitational last
Saturday.
“I was proud of the way we
came together for the good
of each other and were able
to show that we are a team of
deep talent who can beat some
pretty incredible teams regard-
less of what our lineup looks
like,” Middleton coach Lauren
Cabalka said.
In Middleton’s win over
Madison Memorial, the quartet
of Emily Keebler, Ally Silves-
tri, Gabriela Pierobon Mays and
Berkley Smith won the 200-
yard medley relay. The Cardi-
nals’ 200-yard freestyle relay
team of Madelyn Lawn, Smith,
Bella Chirafisi and Makenna
Licking was also first.
And Middleton’s 400-yard
freestyle relay team of Piero-
bon Mays, Chirafisi, Lawn and
Licking was first.
Licking and Chirafisi were
first and second, respectively,
in the 200-yard freestyle. Sil-
vestri, Keebler and Lawn
notched the top three finishes in
the 200-yard IM.
Pierobon Mays won the 100-
yard butterfly, while Kaitlyn
Peters was third. Licking won
the 500-yard freestyle and
Amanda George was third.
Pierobon Mays won the 100-
yard backstroke and Norah
Martin was third. Silvestri won
the 100-yard breaststroke and
Keebler was third.
Smith was also second in the
50-yard freestyle, while Chir-
fisi was second in the 100-yard
freestyle.
“This was a solid meet for
us,” Cabalka said. “We’ve had
a stretch of intense Big Eight
dual meets at the start of the
season and the girls have had to
swim at their very best in order
to win. That can really take a
physical and mental toll on ath-
letes and our girls really rose to
the challenge week in and week
out.
“The girls were certainly a
little more tired and run down
with school starting up, but
they stayed composed and per-
formed at a high level against

a very solid Memorial team. It
was a nice way to end this be-
ginning stretch and put us in a
good place as we headed into
our first invite of the season.”
Middleton followed that up
with a terrific performance at
the Brookfield East Invite.
The short-handed Cardinals
rolled to the team title with 454
points, while Sun Prairie was
second (372). Madison West
(355), Verona/Mount Horeb
(301) and Madison Edgewood
(263) rounded out the top five
at the 11-team invite.
Middleton’s 400-yard free-
style relay team of Licking,
Chirafisi, Lawn and Pierbon
Mays finished first. Keebler,
Silvestri, Pierobon Mays and
Smith were third in the 200-
yard medley relay. And the Car-
dinals’ 200-yard freestyle relay
team of Lawn, Smith, Chirafisi
and Licking was fourth.
Licking won the 500-yard
freestyle, while Amanda
George was fifth, Molly Haag
was sixth and Sarah Foley was
ninth. Licking was second in
the 200-yard freestyle, while
Chirafisi was fourth and George
was sixth.
Pierobon Mays was second
in the 100-yard backstroke,
while Keebler was ninth. Sil-
vestri was also second in the
100-yard breaststroke and
Wood was 10th.

Boys soccer team playing better
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Slowly but surely, things are
coming together.
Middleton’s boys’ soccer
team dropped two of three
games last week and fell to 2-5
on the year. But there were sev-
eral positive developments.
Middleton defeated Madi-
son East, 3-0, on Sept. 4, then
dropped a 2-0 game at Verona
last Thursday. The Cardinals
also fell to Nequa Valley (Ill.)
last Saturday during the Wis-
consin Dells Tournament.
Against East, Isaac Gueu
scored off a free kick assisted
by Bryce Schuster to give the
Cardinals a 1-0 first half lead.
Kyle Ballweg converted a pen-
alty kick in the second half and
sophomore newcomer Ezra
Joseph had a sensational goal
later in the game to round out
the scoring.
“East was a really nice
game,” Middleton coach Ben
Kollasch said. “We started to
get a few of our injured players
back including one of our cap-
tains, Kyle Ballweg, who has
been a stabilizing force for us.
East was also a step forward to
truly operating as a team in all
aspects on the field.
“Practice facilities have only
been intermittently available
for us due to the rainy weather,
so we needed a game where we
could dissect our play and give
feedback during the game to
improve as a team.”
Middleton then dropped a
2-0 decision at No. 5 Verona.
The Wildcats scored in the
seventh and the 55th minutes to
prevail.
“Verona was a difficult game
after having some success vs
East,” Kollasch said. “Verona
is a disciplined team that has
played together for a while and
they gave us more pressure
than we could handle.
“We looked unready for
this kind of big game. I look
forward to having more time
to train our team to get past a
tough team like Verona. They
certainly were a speed bump
for us to encounter near the
beginning of the season, but I
look forward to having a team
prepared to see them in the
postseason.”
Nequa Valley then got a late
goal to edge the Cardinals in
Wisconsin Dells. Jack Eggert
scored the lone goal for Mid-
dleton with an assist from Peter
Tuttle.
“Nick Hinz stepped into the
goalkeeper spot for the first
time and played well, but we
couldn’t keep Nequa Valley
from getting the go-ahead goal
late in the game,” Kollasch
said.

Cross Plains wraps
up terrific season
BY ADAM HATLAN
For the Times-Tribune
Randy Meinholz stood
amongst his players, overcome
with emotion.
Meinholz — the Cross
Plains Businessmen’s manager
— was addressing his team
after their third game of the
Home Talent League cham-
pionship series, knowing this
would likely be his last post-
game address of the season to
this resilient group of players.
Cross Plains won its final
game of the championship
series, 4-3, over the visiting
Cottage Grove Firemen last
Sunday, but the Businessmen
needed a Verona loss to have
one more shot at playing for
the Home Talent title.
Verona won its final game,
though, 6-0 over Evansville,
to take home its sixth Home
Talent League title in 11 years.
Cross Plains finished as
runner-up and went 2-1 in the
championship series with its
only loss coming at the hands
of Verona. It was the highest
finish for Cross Plains since
winning the title in 2011.
“I’m so proud of these
guys,” Meinholz said. “They
came out today with the atti-
tude that we just have to take
care of business. The guys
played playoff baseball today
and now we’re runner-up.”
Cross Plains finished the
year 12-10 and won seven of
its final eight games. Cottage
Grove finished the year 14-9
and got third in the champi-
onship series with a record of
1-2.
To see Cross Plains finish as
runner-up may have come as a
surprise for some. For a team
that was 5-9 at one point — in-
cluding 0-8 record against the
top four seeds in the Northern
Section playoffs — to finish
as runner-up shows how far
Cross Plains came as a team
near the end of the season, and
just how impressive its run
truly was.
Pitching was crucial to
the success of Cross Plains
down the stretch, as the staff
allowed only 10 runs in six
playoff games. Kenny Allen
was a big part of that success
and continued his brilliance on
the mound Sunday, going the
distance in a complete game
win. Allen gave up three runs
(one earned) on 130 pitches
(92 strikes), allowed 12 hits,
and struck out eight.
“You’re not going to take
Kenny out of the game with-
out a log chain and a tractor,
2313 Parmenter Street
Middleton
608-827-9681
I can tell you that,” quipped
Meinholz.
Allen has been a workhorse
for Cross Plains this postsea-
son, pitching nearly every in-
ning for the Businessmen.
“Kenny Allen, I don’t even
know what words to describe
him, throughout the whole
playoff run, was just abso-
lutely amazing,” Meinholz
said. “He has always been
such a good player and has
been absolutely incredible this
year. Almost every week he is
throwing over 100 pitches, and
he’s still as sharp as he was in
the first and second innings.
He’s so much fun to watch.”
Allen, in his 11th season
playing Home Talent baseball,
has been playing for Meinholz
for some time. Together they
won two state championships
at the senior Babe Ruth level
and nearly got an HTL cham-
pionship this year. Allen was
presented the game ball by
Meinholz after beating Cot-
tage Grove.
“It’s awesome to have him
as a coach, have him be there
every step of the way when
we were young, and now that
we’re men. It’s awesome to
have a guy like that stay com-
mitted,” Allen said of Mein-
holz. “He loves every single
one of us like we’re his own. I
can’t say enough about Randy
and I’m very glad he’s my
coach.”
Dan Karlin-Kamen was the
starting pitcher for Cottage
Grove and didn’t factor in the
decision. Karlin-Kamen went
two innings and allowed three
earned runs on five hits.
All Dimmig was the losing
pitcher for Cottage Grove.
Dimming threw six innings
and allowed one earned run on
seven hits.
Jeremy Lochner was the
leading hitter for Cross Plains.
Lochner collected four hits on
the day, including three with a
two-strike count. Lochner also
scored a run and stole a base.
All but one Cross Plains starter
recorded a hit.
Cottage Grove struck in the
first inning. After Allen retired
the first two Firemen on nine
pitches, Paul Patten hit what
looked like a high, routine fly
ball to center. Lochner lost the
ball in the sun and it dropped
in for a hit. Donnie Bryant sin-
gled, then Pete Strommen sin-
gled home Patten for the first
run of the game.
Anthony Bortz followed
with a fly ball to left field
that bounced off left fielder
Dan Karnick’s glove for an
error and allowed Bryant and

Scott Buros and Middleton’s boys volleyball team reached the semifinals of the New Berlin Invite last Saturday.
BOYS VB
tested.”
And the Cardinals certainly
were tested.
Middleton jumped to a 9-2
lead in the first game before
North pulled ahead, 17-15. But
Eagan Peters-Michaud played
huge down the stretch and the
Cardinals battled back for a
25-23 win.
Middleton controlled the sec-
ond set and prevailed there, 25-
19, for a clean sweep of North.
“We were making a lot of
unforced errors and scrambling
on defense,” White said of the
stretch when North took the
lead. “I don’t really know if it
was one thing that got us out of
our funk, but Eagan did a great
job of delivering some big kills
and one huge block to seal the
win.”
Middleton then rolled past a
solid Arrowhead team, 25-23,
25-19. White had moved Pe-
ters-Michaud to rightside hit-
ter in the second game against
North, liked what he saw and
stayed with that lineup against
Arrowhead.
“We stayed with Eagan on
the right side,” White said. “We
were able to get big leads in all
contests with Arrowhead and
won pretty easily.”
Middleton then faced Ger-
mantown — the No. 1 team in
this week’s statewide poll —
and battled the Warhawks to a
24-26, 25-23 tie.
“Germantown is big, tal-
ented and deep,” White said.
“They’re probably the only
team in the state to have D1
volleyball players on the court
together. This match was about
as intense of match as I can re-
member for a pool play match.
Back and forth the entire match.
“No one was giving an inch
and I don’t know if anyone
was ever up by more than three
(points). I couldn’t be more
pleased with how we played.
I believe we have the size to
match up with Germantown
with Owen (Engling), Parker
(Van Buren), Sam (Dettman)
and Max (McDonough) in the
front row. Matt Ballweg had a
few big solo blocks as well. To
split was outstanding. I think it
was a wake-up call for not only
ourselves but hopefully for the
rest of the state.”
Middleton then defeated
Marquette — which has won
nine state championships since
2002, including the 2017 title
— 25-23, 20-25, 15-10 in the
quarterfinals.
Parker Van Buren had 12
kills and just one error and the
Cardinals played one of their
better matches in White’s 18
seasons at the helm.
“It was another exciting
match,” White said. “To come
out victorious in three sets was
huge because we don’t get to
play many deciding sets. The
boys rebounded from losing set
2 and were in control all of set
3.
“This was only the second
time in my 18 years that we
have beat Marquette. I told the
guys I think that puts our record
vs. Marquette as 2 and a billion
— at least it seems that way.
Great win for this team.”
In the semifinals, Middleton
met Germantown again. This
time, the top-ranked Warhawks
edged the Cardinals, 25-22, 25-
23.
“We hung right with them
again,” White said. “Dylan
Griffith controlled the back row
all day vs. Germantown and his
serves kept them off balance.
Some fatigue did set in during
the last match, but we definitely
have room for improvement.”
Times-Tribune photo by Mary Langenfeld
Van Buren finished the day
with 39 kills, while Peters-Mi-
chaud had 36 kills and six
blocks. Dettman had 21 kills,
while Griffith had 43 digs and
five aces. Matt Ballweg had 101
assists on the day, Engling had
seven blocks and McDonough
had six blocks.
Middleton also hit a stellar
.340 against some of the better
teams in the state. Dettman and
Engling combined for 34 kills
in the middle and Van Buren
hit a remarkable .540 from the
outside.
“Parker had one of the best
hitting days I can remember,”
White said. “He only had one
error in the seven sets played
vs. Germantown and Mar-
quette. That’s pretty amazing
and he can get better.
“All in all, we have areas to
improve on. My job now is to
keep the guys fresh, to focus on
our areas of need and improve
our areas of strength.”
Middleton also rolled past
Madison West, 25-16, 25-17,
25-20, last Thursday.
Peters-Michaud had 12 kills
and Van Buren had eight kills.
Ballweg had 19 assists, Nick
Stott had 11 assists and Dylan
continued from page 14
Griffith had 11 digs. Middleton
also hit a terrific .366 as a team.
“First conference match of
the year and against an athletic
Madison West squad,” White
said. “It’s still early in the sea-
son so we are figuring things
out at this point and we were
able to use a different line-up
each set and get everyone some
playing time. Sophomore Nick
Stott did a nice job setting in his
one set of action. We know he
is talented and will definitely
help this team achieve our goals
this year. He is pushing Matt
Ballweg every day in practice
and the great thing to see is how
Matt is responding and getting
better himself. Good start to the
conference season.”
• On deck: Middleton is at
Madison West Thursday at 6:30

Cardinals then travel to peren-

FOOTBALL
in time and it was just up for
grabs. The ball was in the air
and they got in and reached for
it.”
“It’s very heartbreaking,
very disappointing,” Middleton
co-coach Tim Simon said. “It
was a Hail Mary. There were
10 people in the end zone – five
white jerseys, five red jerseys –
scrambling for the football and
a couple guys wrestling for it
and they came up with it.”
Memorial (4-0 overall, 4-0
conference) took over sole pos-
session of first place in the Big
Eight with the victory. Middle-
ton dropped to 2-2 overall and
in conference.
Schaefer apparently outwres-
tled Cardinals senior defensive
back Jake Klubertanz for pos-
session of the ball on the play.
“That’s a tough loss,” Mid-
dleton defensive coordinator
Tom Cabalka said. “I don’t
think it should have come down
to the last play. On the last play
I think we tipped the ball up in-
stead of knocking it down and
the kid, I think he was flat on
his back, made the catch.”
Middleton appeared to be
in command after senior quar-
terback Bryce Carey weaved
through traffic then outran the
entire Spartans defense down
the sideline for an 84-yard
touchdown to give the Cardi-
nals a 27-17 lead with three
minutes, seven seconds remain-
ing in the game.
“I don’t feel good until that
buzzer goes off and that’s ex-
actly why,” Simon said.
“We had the game,” added
Lockett. “We just didn’t come
through in the fourth quarter.
We knew this was going to be
a tough week, we knew it was
going to come down to the
fourth quarter. We should have
just been more prepared.”
Memorial struck back
quickly after Carey’s TD, as
Schaefer caught a 26-yard
touchdown pass from Ceniti
to make it 27-24 with 1:34 re-
maining.
Kole Kerkhoff’s ensuring
onside kick was recovered by
Middleton’s Isaiah Pflaster-
er-Jennerjohn at the Memo-
rial 49. On first down, Carey
was flagged for intentional
grounding after throwing the
ball away. The penalty, which
included loss of down, moved
the Cardinals all the way back
to their own 27. Two runs by
junior Kallion Buckner netted
four yards and Memorial used
its remaining two timeouts to
stop the clock.
“The grounding call gave
us the hidden yardage that we
wanted,” Madison Memorial
coach Michael Harris said.
“Moving them back and forc-
ing them to punt. That gave us
a pretty decent advantage as far
as where we were going to start
our next series offensively.”
Memorial took over at its
own 49 with  1:04  remaining
after Jake Wuebben’s punt
landed inside the Memorial 40
then bounded backward before
being covered by the Cardinals.
The Spartans came up with sev-
eral big plays on the decisive
drive.
On a fourth-and-six from
the Middleton 47, Ceniti fol-
lowed his blocker and ran 10
yards for a first down. Three
plays later, the Spartans faced
a third-and-15 from Middle-
ton’s 42 when Ceniti connected
with Kam Marshall on a 15-
yard pass play and another first
down. Ceniti was nearly inter-
cepted on the next play, and on
second down, got rid of the ball
continued from page 14
just before Middleton’s Ben Li-
tchfield slammed into him from
behind.
“We need to stress again
that it’s a 48-minute game,”
Cabalka said. “They played
right to the end and we did too,
but just didn’t perform like we
should have. I think we should
have had an interception the
play before.”
Added Memorial’s Harris:
“It was a true battle, we knew
it was going to be a great battle
back and forth. Never in my life
did I predict that finish. Coach
Simon is a very well respected
coach. We know he runs a
great program, very classy pro-
gram and so we knew it was
going to be a battle through and
through.”
After a scoreless first quar-
ter, the Spartans struck first on
a 24-yard field goal by Kerk-
hoff with 7:59 remaining in the
second quarter. The Spartans
started the drive on Middleton’s
35 yard-line after a 25-yard in-
terception return by Tra’vaughn
Harper and a 15-yard penalty
for a late hit on the Cardinals.
The Spartans had a first-and-
goal at the Middleton 2 before
the defense stiffened. After
a five-yard false start moved
the Spartans back, Ceniti was
tackled for a one-yard loss on
second down and was pressured
into an incompletion on third
down.
Middleton responded on its
next possession, as 6-foot-7
tight end Max Schlicht scored
on a 26-yard pass from Carey.
Schlicht caught the ball be-
tween two defenders at the
10, broke a tackle and scored.
Buckner carried six times for

FOOTBALL
The Cardinals took advan-
tage of a turnover on the next
possession. One play after a
teammate recovered his fum-
ble, Marshall fumbled again
and Lockett recovered at the
Spartans’ 20-yard line.
“I was excited,” Lockett
said of the play. “I saw the ball
and I was like ‘I gotta get it.’
That was the only thing on my
mind.”
After an 11-yard run by
Carey, Buckner scored on a
4-yard run to put Middleton
ahead 14-3.
Memorial pulled within
14-10 on its opening posses-
sion of the second half. Under
pressure, Ceniti stepped up in
the pocket on a third-and-five
play, then romped straight up
the middle of the field for a 42-
yard touchdown run.
After Memorial’s defense
forced a three-and-out, Harper
fumbled Wuebben’s punt and
Middleton’s Jake Pavelski re-
covered at the Memorial 23.
The Cardinals settled for a
23-yard field goal by Sawyer
Pertzborn after being penalized
for an illegal shift on fourth-

carried four times for 19 yards
on the drive.
Pertzborn added a 20-yard
field goal to give Middleton a
20-10 lead with  8:42  remain-
ing in the game. A 15-yard pass
play from Carey to senior re-
ceiver Sam Close set the Cardi-
nals up with a first-and-goal at
the Memorial 3. Three straight
runs by junior running back
Keewon Bufford netted minus
one yard and the Cardinals had
to settle for the field goal.
Memorial’s Kyle Doll recov-
ered a fumble by Buckner at the
Middleton 27 on the Cardinals’
next possession. On the next
play, Marshall caught Ceniti’s
pass just beyond the line of
scrimmage and took it the dis-
tance. Kerkhoff’s extra-point
kick made it 20-17 with 6:53 to
play.
It stayed that way until Carey
scored on his long touchdown
run to set up the finish.
Simon felt for his players
after the loss.
