Board voted 4 1 Tuesday night to have the plan commission reconsider a proposal that would turn an abandoned gas station into a haunted house. The plan commission, under pres- sure from some neighbors had at- tempted to kill the proposal, but the town board seemed more willing to consider the Halloween attraction at the corner of county highways M and K. The previous decision that had been made by the Westport Planning Com- mission and the Westport/Waunakee Joint Planning Commission rejected a proposal for a rezoning from County C-2 Restricted to C-1. While proponents see the haunted house as a way to revitalize a run-down building that be a lure for vagrancy in its current state, others said the haunted house would be offensive. Although present at the meeting, Guy Kitchell, the would-be proprietor attempting to have the structure re- zoned for the haunted attraction, de- clined to comment on the proceedings. I'm in favor of this, commented board supervisor Ken Sipsma. One of my basic reasons I'm in favor of this is this is commercially-zoned property. I think that its an appropriate com- mercial use on a short-term basis, On Thursday, August 28 at 12:05 a.m., the Middleton Police Department was investigating a rollover accident adjacent to the eastbound lanes of Highway 12 at Greenway Boulevard. While officers were still on the scene investigating that crash, a vehicle driven by Paul L. Jones, 40, of Wauna- kee was traveling east on Highway 12 when it struck a fully marked squad car that had its emergency lights activated. The squad car sustained significant damage but was unoccupied, and no officers were injured. Jones was sub- sequently arrested for felony Operating a Motor Vehicle While Intoxicated (4th offense) and transported to UW Hospi- tal for treatment. The Middleton Tourism Commis- sion last week unveiled what Mayor Kurt Sonnentag called one more arrow in the citys quiver of pro- grams aimed at keeping the city strong and vibrant. It was on Thursday the commission unveiled its new mobile visitor center, the Know-N-Go. Paid for entirely by Middleton hotel room tax, the Know- N-Go is the first and only mobile vis- itor center in a six-county area. I am proud to say that Middletons Tourism Commission has found an in- novative way to help keep our econ- omy moving forward with its new Know-N-Go mobile visitor center, Sonnentag said.

Report: Pleasant View Ridge septic would have minimal risk Last year, developer Erdman Holdings Inc. proposed the construc- tion of a conservation subdivision a subdivision with small yards but shared access to natural lands. The development proposal would transform 162 acres of rural land be- tween U.S. Highway 14 and Pleasant View Golf Course into an assortment of residential neighborhoods situated around a working farm. Erdman Holdings was hoping to break ground within 2014 and com- plete the development by 2019. Be- cause of concerns brought forth in public hearings the city decided to hold off on the project until further information was gathered. The major hold-up was a debate that surfaced while discussing the use of private septic and well sys- tems in the subdivision. About half of the homes would be on parcels of about 6,500 square feet and would utilize community septic. The larger home sites, occupying about 20,000 square feet, would use individual septic systems. The initial proposal touted the environmentally friendliness of septic systems for recharging groundwater, however environmentalist groups and citizens raised opposition. To get a comprehensive under- standing of what was at stake the city decided to have a 3rd party consult- ant weigh in on the use of septic sys- tems. The common council voted to enter into a contract with SAA De- sign Group of Madison with funds provided by an escrow agreement between the City of Middleton and Erdman Holdings of $10,000.

The Purpose The purpose of the Middleton Com- munity Veterans Tribute is to honor past, current, and future veterans and their families, and the broad commu- nity that supports them, by memorial- izing the sacrifices they have made and by recognizing the sense of duty and courage they have displayed as they answered the call to arms by their Na- tion and the State of Wisconsin. Fulfill- ment of this purpose also results in the education of current and future gener- ations about the dangers to which free societies are exposed, the responsibili- ties inherent in citizenship, and the enormous costs of freedom. The Values Values which serve as the founda- tion of the Middleton Community Vet- erans Tribute include the recognition that veterans and those that support their service and sacrifice have played a vital role in the preservation of free- dom throughout the history of the Na- tion, the State of Wisconsin, and the Middleton community. The price of freedom is our eternal vigilance. Planning & Development In late 2013, a local landscape de- signer who is recognized regionally for outstanding conservation and outdoor design, approached the VFW Sonny Simon Post 8216 and offered to donate substantial services to design and lo- cate a Memorial to recognize past, present and future Middleton area vet- erans who served both in war and peace, their families and the commu- nity that supported them.

Are School District can remember their working condi- tions have been determined by a col- lective bargaining agreement. Act 10 prohibits unions from col- lective bargaining for anything other than base wages. The law also makes unions hold recertification elections every year that require at least 51 percent percent approval by all employees rather than all who vote. Given union elections rarely have that turnout, the law mostly dis- solves public unions throughout the state, though police, fire, and emer- gency service are an exception under the law. Act 10 was challenged and ap- pealed all the way to the state Supreme Court. The high court up- held the law in its entirety. Many ex- pected the ruling would retain Act 10, not only because the court seats five out of seven justices that tend to vote conservatively, but a challenge brought to a federal court was upheld the law as well. A school district without a teach- ers union essentially means the school board will directly determine the working conditions of it employ- ees through a comprehensive em- ployee handbook rather than negotiate through with union repre- sentation. The model used else- where in the state and now in Middleton is a establishing a hand- book committee. The committee is comprised of district administration, school board members, teachers, and in Middle- tons case union representatives. All members work through each item step by step and work out agree- ments, though the board will have the final say. Middleton Education Association is no longer recognized as a union by the state since they did not file for re- certification. They can no longer collect union dues either. The Middleton school board has continued to accept representatives input and use them as an intermedi- ary for teachers in the handbook drafting process, though MEA only agreed to get on board a week before the Supreme Court ruling at the end of July. The handbook committee met seven times over the previous three weeks and considered nearly 80 items. The board previously decided it will push the committee as close to it can get to a unanimous decision on each item before a vote must come before the board. Board members said they expect to vote on three or less proposals should the committee have a disagreement. At the latest board meeting the board held a vote one of the items that has been a bit controversial be- tween teachers and administration. Teachers were requesting personal days be at ten percent, which I was in the previous collective bargaining agreement. Administration was sug- gesting cutting this to five percent with a few added exceptions. The board ultimately stuck with the pre- vious union agreement and will maintain personal-leave days at no more than ten percent of total days.

LATELEGAL 2x3.5, # is 0022561 Foundation brick sales off to strong start The MCPASD Education Foundation has sold nearly 200 spaces in less than three weeks as part of its Bricks to Build a Strong Foundation campaign, executive director Perry Hibner said. Approximately 800 spaces are available at both Glacier Creek and Kromrey middle schools for inscribed bricks near the main entrances of each building. Nearly 120 spaces had been sold at Kromrey as of Aug. 20, while Gla- cier Creek had close to 60 spaces sold, Hibner said. Most of the bricks have been purchased by families with chil- dren in the District, although staff, alumni, businesses, and area non-profits have also placed orders, he said. Bricks are available in three sizes and cost $100, $200 or $400. Bricks will be available until Oct. 15 or when all are sold. The paving is expected to be completed in No- vember. Money raised will be used to continue to provide in- spiring experiences for District students and staff, Hibner said. The Foundation has already raised nearly $140,000 for its endowment fund and handed out more than $12,000 in teacher grants since 2013. Another grant cycle will be held in the fall. Order forms and a frequently asked questions document are available on the Foundations website, www.inspiring- experiences.org, or by calling Hibner at 608-829-9014. The Foundation also recently began accepting credit card payment for people who prefer that option, he said. Its been rewarding to see people so excited about the campaign, said Hibner, who led tours of the new areas at Glacier Creek and Kromrey that more than 350 people attended earlier in August. Weve even had alumni back for class reunions inquire about a brick. We cant wait to have the bricks installed so everyone can be a part of his- tory. marketing campaign its a long- term solution. Instead of waiting for visitors to come to us, we can now take our message directly to them. The Know-N-Go travels to events throughout Dane County, encouraging folks to plan a trip to Middleton. When its not on the road, the car, and its driver, Mid- dleton expert and Know-It-All Patty Bois, will travel around Middleton, helping visitors al- ready in town find fun things to do, interesting sites to see and great places to eat. I look forward to spreading the word about all the wonderful things there are to experience in Middleton, Bois said. When people visit our city stay in our hotels, eat in our restaurants, shop in our stores they help our small businesses thrive. In return, the families of Middleton thrive. The car will be stocked with helpful information like maps and visitor guides, along with fun prizes. When a person signs up for the Visit Middleton e-newsletter, downloads the travel-planning Pick-N-Play app, or signs up for a contest, theyll be allowed to spin the Know-N-Go prize wheel for a chance to win t-shirts, sun- glasses and other small prizes stamped with the Visit Middleton logo. While games and giveaways are meant to draw visitors in, the mobile visitor center is part of a much larger vision. Ald. Hans Hilbert, longtime member of the citys tourism commission, said the new vehicle is designed to help tourists, but the benefits will also be felt by local residents. When folks decide to visit Middleton, and then really dis- cover Middleton, our city thrives, Hilbert said. Congratu- lations to the Middleton Tourism Commission and staff for con- stantly finding new ways to attract visitors and encourage guests to explore our great city. Wisconsin Secretary of Tourism Stephanie Klett was on hand for the unveiling of the Know-N-Go and complimented the city on its innovation in at- tracting tourists. Fifty-percent of Wisconsinites vacation in Wisconsin, Klett said. We have to market to them. We forget that we can vacation in our own area and this is going to help get the great word out.

Middleton Fire District earns Life Safety Achievement Award Middleton Fire District was recently presented with a Life Safety Achieve- ment Award for its fire prevention ac- complishments in 2013 by the National Association of State Fire Marshals Fire Research and Education Foundation (NASFM Foundation) in partnership with Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Company. The award was announced by Butch Browning, president of the NASFM Foundation. The heroic efforts of our local fire service arent limited to rushing into burning buildings to save families. They also present educational informa- tion to local schools and other commu- nity groups to make sure people know how to respond to fires and how to pre- vent them in the first place, said Alan Clark, assistant vice president of Spe- cial Investigations for Grinnell Mutual. The Life Safety Achievement Award recognizes fire departments for their fire prevention programs that have been proven to save lives year after year. Since 1994, the Life Safety Achieve- ment Award has recognized local fire prevention efforts that have contributed to reducing the number of lives lost in residential fires. Middleton Fire Dis- trict is one of 142 fire departments across the United States to receive the award this year for recording zero fire deaths in 2013 or reducing fire deaths by at least 10 percent during the year. In addition, award recipients docu- mented active and effective fire pre- vention programs as well as a clear commitment to reducing the number of house fires in the community. Although residential fires in the U.S. account for only 20 percent of all fires, they result in 80 percent of all fire deaths. The NASFM Foundation is committed to reducing that number. Experience tells us that fire preven- tion activity and public education can significantly reduce life and property loss from residential fires, Browning said. Prevention and education are very cost effective compared to the tra- ditional approach of relying on fire suppression. The Life Safety Achieve- ment Award recognizes fire depart- ments for their fire prevention efforts and encourages them to continually improve upon those efforts. The NASFM Foundation is a public interest group whose mission is to re- duce residential fire deaths and in- juries. The Foundation advocates the use of residential fire sprinklers, smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors and teaching people fire-safe behavior. The Foundation assists fire departments with implementing residential sprin- kler/smoke alarm programs on a local basis. The Foundations partners in- clude the United States Fire Adminis- tration, the National Association of State Fire Marshals and private indus- try/associations with an interest in and commitment to residential fire safety. Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Com- pany, in business since 1909, provides reinsurance for farm mutual insurance companies and property and casualty insurance products through more than 1,600 independent agents in 12 Mid- western states.

I wish to express my great ap- preciation to my dear friend Nancy Sandy for her nomination and the Good Neighbor Committee for choos- ing me as one of the 2014 Good Neigh- bors. As I look at my award; I remember my childhood, as my siblings and I shadowed our mom, Bev Paske, giving to family, friends and anyone in need throughout our community. Mom left a legacy for all of us to follow. Since moving to Madison in 1983, there are endless mentors (I wish there was room to name all of you) that have helped me strive to continue moms legacy. After our son, Sean, left Middleton High School with the Class of 2009 ROAR Campaign going out strong; I needed to continue giving back to the commu- nity. I have had the opportunity to open many doors meeting many Good Neighbors. It is not only one or two that builds a community, it is all of us. I am humbled by this award; with your guidance and support the child- hood tools of my mom continue to make our community strong. With sincere thanks, Patti Jackson. Middleton public lands are premiere To Penni Klein, public lands man- ager for the City of Middleton, Please accept my sincere congratu- lations to the Middleton Parks, Recre- ation & Forestry Department on being selected as a 2014 National Recreation and Park Association Gold Medal Fi- nalist. The Middleton Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department has now become one of the very few agencies being honored in the United States that has demonstrated continued excellence in their long-range planning initiatives, resource management, and agency recognition. As you are aware, agencies are judged on their ability to address the diverse needs of their community resi- dents through the collective energies of citizens, staff and elected officials. Be- cause of your outstanding park and recreation services, facilities and qual- ity personnel and volunteers and com- munity organizational partners, Middleton now joins the premiere ranking of being chosen as one of the finalists for this national honor and recognition. On behalf of myself, our Board of Directors, and our over 2,000 mem- bers, congratulations to you and your staff for this tremendous achievement and recognition. The very best! Sincerely, Steven J. Thompson, CPRP, CEO/Executive Director Wisconsin Park & Recreation Association THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2014 MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE PAGE 9 My baby killed my cat My baby killed my cat. Peter was a lazy, mercurial presence in our house. Even in his old age, he stuck to a rigorous daily routine that in- cluded sleeping wherever I wanted to sit, and distributing a layer of hair, like little strands of poison ivy, all over everything. He also savagely attacked people foolish enough to think a purring, prostrated feline didnt mean them any harm. And of course, he liked to vomit dramatically whenever we tried to eat or entertain guests. Whenevermy wife has questioned my devotion to her, Ive always been quick to point out that my love for her is so strong it compelled me to take in, and live alongside, what was essen- tially a wild animal. At 25 pounds, Peter was the equiva- lent of feral wolverine living in our home. I often imagined how silly we must have looked, taking the long route through the house to avoid him when he was in a bad temper, or leaping out of the way when he jumped up onto the couch next to us. It is remarkable what you can get used to in your own house. After an attack, I always felt like the neighbor of a serial killer, being inter- viewed on the evening news. He just seemed perfectly normal, I would think. I never would have sus- pected he was planning to kill and eat me. No amount of menace on my part, pleading from my wife, or growling from the dog could ever daunt Peter. His only real fear was plastic bags, which to him sounded uncannily like the ferocious thrumming of the hooves of the horses of the apocalypse. When we brought our infant daugh- ter home, we stocked up on hydrogen peroxide and showed her, with much trepidation and a lot of protective hand waving, the cat we assumed would teach her a few puzzling, bloody les- sons about animal behavior. We could never figure out Peters rules for non-engagement. It was as if he occasionally signed a peace treaty but refused to inform us of the hun- dreds of rules and conditions contained within it. Oh, Matts wearing a blue shirt today, the cat would think. Ill obvi- ously be launching an all-out attack later this afternoon. There was no mistaking his feelings as he gazed into our daughters eyes for the first time. The entire living situa- tion, he felt, had grown instantly and completely unbearable. There is no way, he was thinking, I am going to live with that horrible little creature. And he didnt. He quickly died of what the vet said was old age, but what I am fairly certain was a fatal case of feline scorn. When I noticed he felt unwell, I picked him up and drove him to the vet. When I walked in and placed him on the examination table, the doctor did the things doctors do, listening to his heart, checking his breathing, and feeling around to see if organs were doing anything alarming. Im sorry to tell you, said the vet. Hes going to die. Yep, I replied casually, always willing to chat philosophically about life and death. I know hes pretty old. He wont be around forever. I mean, none of us will, right? Um, I mean, interjected the vet with a certain urgency that made me stop gazing at a painting on the wall. Right now. Im very sorry. Not as sorry, I thought, as I would be when I returned home to my wife - a mere 15 minutes after leaving the house - without a cat. While writing this, I toyed with end- ing on some kind of high note. Search- ing the recesses of my brain for a mem- ory of the cat acting tenderly, or showing love or affection. But such passages would be an unfitting epi- logue for the creature with whom I lived for so many years. I will say this: These days, whenever I walk around a corner and nothing tries to kill me. Whenever I sit down to watch a movie and dont instantly feel my skin begin to itch. Whenever I take the shortest route from one room to an- other, because Im not afraid of having my leg eviscerated, I feel like my world is slightly less exciting. And thats not a good thing. I frequently like to slightly misquote the great Oscar Wilde, stating, It is ab- surd to divide people into good and bad. People are either interesting or boring.* Peter was never, ever boring. And for that he is missed. Luckily, we have some scars by which to remember him. *Wilde actually said: It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or te- dious. by Matt Geiger, Editor GEIGER Counter L LETTERS ETTERS TO TO THE THE E EDITOR DITOR SEPTIC continued from page 1 The escrow agreement means the developer provided the funds for the city to pay the consultant (SAA) to study the site of the proposed Pleasant View Ridge subdivision. SAA released the report to the city and revealed the use of septic has min- imal risk if managed properly. If properly managed, onsite and cluster wastewater treatment systems are very effective and beneficial, SAAs John Lichtenheld writes. The wastewater discharges are small which enhances natural assimilation into the soil. They conserve water within the watershed through groundwater recharge. They avoid large mass pollu- tant discharges. Risks from malfunc- tions are small and easy to manage. In the report, Ken Bradbury of the Wisconsin Geological and Natural His- tory Survey provides information on the potential influence that the pro- posed developments private wells might have on the local groundwater quantity and quality. Mr. Bradbury used a groundwater flow model developed for the region. He assumed 114 homes each occupied by 4 people that would use 65 gallons per person per day, Lichtenheld re- ports. Using this parameter, the total daily water use for the development would be 30,000 gallons per day which he considered the overall water use to be very small. The report points out the importance of regular maintenance and monitoring of septic systems in preventing waste- water pollution. It says many home- owners are paying for services that handle it for them. Now that the report is in Erdman Holdings will be waiting to hear from city planning whether the proposed subdivision will move forward. Correction A letter to the editor last week stated that Mary Burkes local campaign office would host a grand opening on Tuesday, Sept. 4. That date does not exist (at least not this year). The event will take place Thursday, Sept. 4. ated by the project would be between $10 million and $11 million, which would payback the TIF in about ten years. The motion passed unanimously. Ald. Hans Hilbert noted that the Water Resources Management Com- mission has not yet approved the storm water management plan. Water resources has not signed off on that concept, Hilbert stated. At the last meeting we deferred ac- tion on that until we have more de- tailed information. The commission approved recom- mendation to city council despite many specific details in the TIF agreement still being worked out be- tween attorneys. The commission also approved a TIF request for $30,470 to assist Lat- itude Graphics expand its operations and add an addition to the business current property. Latitude Graphics currently does about $4 million in sales annually and has 26 full-time employees with an average pay of $20.22 per hour not including benefits. The company plans to add 13 full-time positions by 2019. Hilbert asked the company owner if he would be able to make the im- provements without the citys assis- tance. The dilemma we have is we were considering getting space in Mazomanie and moving our business there, said the company owner, Eric Padrutt. It would be significantly less expensive for us to do that. We feel like to remain a competitive sup- plier we will need some assistance. The motion passed unanimously with no further discussion. Both were sent to the city council with approval recommended by plan commission.

The Post decided that only the names of veterans who died in the line of duty, Medal of Honor recipients and Distinguish Service Cross recipients would be included on the Memorial. When the VFW approached the City of Middleton to determine whether or not they would provide a location for the Memorial that would be highly vis- ible, in a high traffic area with easy ac- cess preferably a park, and would have ample parking, they embraced the con- cept wholeheartedly. A mutually iden- tified location is Lakeview Park along Allen Boulevard, South of the Splash Park and new playground. The City also suggested a second shelter with bathrooms adjacent to the Memorial to supplement the heavily used existing shelter and bathrooms. The Sonny Simon VFW Post 8316 has set a goal of $300,000 to raise for the project. The Post has committed $30,000 from its current reserves and plans to raise the balance through indi- vidual member donations, community donations and fund raising events. The VFW and City are projecting that the Memorial groundbreaking and completion will occur during the Sum- mer Of 2015. said she felt the intentions and the dis- cussions have been positive so far, but she holds some reservations about the speed and detail of the committee meetings. She said she believes the first handbook committee process should be done as careful as possible to get it as close to perfect the first time. We have to be able to trust each other and in order to do so we have to be able to ask the hard questions and give the answers that support the rea- sons, Pauls said to the board. We have to be able to communicate effec- tively with each other and with our staff and with the community. Board president Bob Green, pointed out decisions will continue to be made even after the first copy of the hand- book is written. The handbook com- mittee will not dissolve, but remain a place for teachers to get involved and communicate with school leaders. Anytime a concern comes from the board, administration, or teachers these times can be brought back to the hand- book committee and then re-discussed and then brought back to the board,Green stated. I think if we un- derstand how the handbook process is working then that is implicit that if there is a concern it will be brought to the handbook committee and then to the board, just as how [personal-leave days] was. VETS From p. 2 HAUNT From p. 1 HANDBOOK From page 3 Sipsma added. The Westport Board did discuss sev- eral items they desired the Joint Plan Commission take into consideration for any actions or discussions at the commissions upcoming Sept. 9 meet- ing, including parking and lighting plans for the property, potential re- quirements for liability insurance for the haunted attraction, and the town's ability to shut the attraction down should the need arise. The motion to have the decision re- considered was initially brought by Town Board Supervisor Terry Enge and was seconded by Sipsma, though Sipsma also posited a friendly amend- ment regarding parking and lighting plans for the facility. Another friendly amendment was made by Supervisor Bill von Rutenberg, which concerned the addition of a requirement of liabil- ity insurance ownership to the list of requirements for the rezone. This is the second time in my tenure that the board has not followed the recommendation of the plan com- mission, admitted board chairman John Van Dinter, who cast the lone vote against reconsidering. This is not the first time. Town administrator Tom Wilson also gave a brief update on the con- struction of the new Westport Public Works Facility Tuesday night, indicat- ing that the construction process is well under way. Wilson's report indicated that construction iron, panels, and var- ious other in-slab materials could be on site within the week. At approximately 2:15 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 31, Dane County Sher- iffs deputies responded to a vehicle vs. motorcycle crash on Martinsville Road, near CTH P in the town of Springfield. The motorcyclist, Rodney J. Karls, age 38 of Sauk City, was left with sig- nificant injuries, after he was rear- ended by a vehicle as Karls attempted to make a left turn onto Martinsville Road. A silver Dodge left the scene of the crash, and Karls was trans- ported to a local hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries. A short time later, an observant cit- izen called 911 and reported a suspi- cious person on her property on CTH P. The citizen stated a man was at- tempting to hide his vehicle behind her boat. Sheriffs deputies made contact with the man, who admitted to being involved in the crash. The man did not appear intoxicated and was seemingly cooperative and con- sented to a blood draw. It wasnt until he was being booked into the Dane County Jail, that deputies found he had provided a false identity. Ivan Miranda-Arias, age 27 of Prairie du Sac, was booked into the jail for Hit and Run, causing injury, Knowingly Operating Without a License, causing great bodily harm, Failure to Notify Police of an Accident, and Obstruct- ing. Driver in custody following hit and run PAGE 14 MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2014 VERONA Death by 1,000 cuts. This is how Middletons football team rolled to a highly impressive 32- 9 win over host Verona last Friday. The Cardinals didnt hit many home runs. They didnt have an abun- dance of explosive plays. Instead, Middleton simply ham- mered away at their arch-rival. Eventually, the overmatched Wildcats wore down as Middleton outscored Verona, 23-0, in the second half. I think we did wear them out, said Middleton coach Tim Simon, whose team improved to 2-0. Nothing big, nothing fancy. I just think we stayed really composed and had a really solid effort. Middleton junior running back Cam Maly led the way with four rush- ing touchdowns, giving him seven on the young season. While Maly did much of the heavy lifting, Middletons offensive line of (from left) Austin Collins, Kajuan Redus, Sean Benedict, Derek Ramsey and Eric Karwoski seemed to wear out the Wildcats aggressive front. Like the rest of the Cardinals, Maly got stronger as the game went on. Maly had 65 of his 94 rushing yards after halftime, and Maly had three sec- ond half rushing TDs. This is awesome, Maly said afterwards. To do this in front of their home crowd, and to beat them on their field, its just amazing. Middletons defense was pretty amazing, too. The Cardinals held the Wildcats to 164 total yards and seven first downs. Verona (0-2) averaged just 3.15 yards per play, and only three of its 52 plays went for 10 yards or more. Veronas bread and butter is its inside trap play. But the Cardinals Middleton routs Verona Cardinals wear down Wildcats by ROB REISCHEL Times-Tribune See FOOTBALL, page 19 Times-Tribune photo by Mary Langenfeld Kellan Schulz and Middletons football team hurdled over Verona last Friday. Follow Rob Reischel on Twitter at @robreischel Ben White swears there isnt a reload button at his office, his home, or under his dashboard. Whites contemporaries in the Big Eight Conference and the rest of the state probably think hes fib- bing, though. White, the most successful coach in the history of Middleton boys vol- leyball program, has led the Cardinals to seven conference titles in the last eight years. Middleton has also reached the WIAA state tournament five times since 2006. In theory, this should be a rebuild- ing year inside the program after Middleton lost 11 players from last seasons state tournament team. But White and his Cardinals believe other- wise. Honestly the expectations dont change, said White, whose team begins its season Tuesday when it hosts Madison West. The league is winnable and it will be our goal to win conference for the eighth conference title in the last nine years. White has done more than build a consistent winner at MHS. Hes built a family. Middleton volleyball remains important to several players, even years after theyve left the program. Last week alone, the Cardinals had nine former players or coaches watch- ing or helping. I told the current guys it says a lot about this program and how much the alumni care about it, White said. And the alumni want this pro- gram to continue to be where it is. We dont change our expectations just because we have a lot of new faces on the team. One face White is happy to see return is senior outside hitter James Caldwell, whos beginning his fourth varsity season. Last year, Caldwell tied for second on the team in digs (181), was sixth in kills (83) and fifth in blocks (25). We have a heck of a head start with James Caldwell on the squad for a fourth year, White said. James has the ability to take over a match and be quite dominant.I pulled him up to var- sity his freshman year because the kid could pass.He was also 5-foot-8.Now James is a beast. He hits a very heavy ball. When the gym is full with 50 people playing, you can still hear when James hits the ball.Hell also be called upon to pass the majority of the serves. He is our best defender. I will honestly put James up against any of the best play- ers in the state. The Cardinals will also build around senior outside hitter Nolan Schoonveld and senior setter/outside Derek Kalvin. Nolan has a cannon for an arm, White said. He will be the second outside hitter.James and Nolan will be called upon to be the leaders and carry the load.I think they are going to open up a lot of opportunities for our mid- dles. Derek is our setter, but he is also one of our top hitters so we are look- ing for someone to step up to be the second setter so Derek can hit in the front row. Ive always believed you can compete with the top teams in state if you have three hitters, and we have that and more. Middleton had one of the states top defensive teams last year, and rode that wave to a memorable season. This years Cardinals will be extremely big and could do much of their damage at the net. Senior Andrew Gardner has the most experience in the middle and will play a key role. Junior Jordan Futch is a junior who can play middle or right side. Very athletic. Great offensive player, but needs to be a presence at the net blocking, White said of Futch. Dynamic jumping ability and long arms.Can beat most blocks one- on-one in the middle. Looking for- ward to see how he develops. PAGE 15 MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2014 Pushing the right buttons Boys volleyball team hopes to hit reload switch by ROB REISCHEL Times-Tribune Junior Jacob Ross is a defensive specialist and the front-runner to take over the Libero position. If we cannot pass, it doesnt mat- ter how tall and strong we are, White said. Our setters wont be able to get the ball to the hitters. Junior Blake Sprecher is a talented middle blocker, who might play on the right side, as well. Huge block, White said of Sprecher. Intimidating presence at the net and other teams will set away from him, which is one of the reasons I might put him on the right side. Senior setter Ben Hershberger has some experience, and could grab hold of the second setter position. Mathew Caamal and Kyle Bradley-Bartleson are also in the mix for the second set- ter position. Pace Balster is also an athletic mid- dle blocker who should factor in. Once everything clicks for Pace, it will be hard for me to keep him off the court, White said. White knows this is one of his most inexperienced teams ever. But its also filled with unlimited potential, and thatcould make for a thrilling season. We have talent, but we are raw, White said.This wont be a team that blows anyone away early in the sea- son.Our goal will be to be clicking by that second week of October, which is the same goal we have every year.

Isaac Mezera and Cindy Bremser set the bar. Then Middletons boys cross coun- try team told their co-head coaches to move it up. The Cardinals coaches told their team a top-10 finish at state should be a goal this year. Middletons runners have even loftier aspirations, though. The guys think Cindy and I are setting the bar too low when we say well be a top 10 team in Wisconsin this season, Mezera said. Its easy to see why. Middleton surprised the cross country world a year ago when its extremely young team qualified for state and finished 15th there. The Cardinals return their top five runners from that team and welcome a handful of gifted runners. So for many, a top-10 finish just doesnt seem like enough. Having our top-five back means a great deal to the program, the individ- uals, and the coaches, Mezera said. I can honestly say that this squad is the best boys team in my 13 years with the program. Twelve months ago, Mezera had no idea what type of team he had. The majority of the varsity runners were new, inexperienced and unproven. That group went on to produce one of the more memorable seasons in recent memory. Knowing that you are a young team with infinite possibilities before you is pressure free and inspiring, Mezera said. I would say the journey was a perfect blend of exceeding expectations, learning how to race, and pleasant surprises. It set the tone for where we are now. Sophomore Gus Newcomb is the Cardinals top returnee and should be poised for a big year. Last season, Newcomb finished sixth at the Big Eight meet, 10th at the DeForest Sectional and 45th at state. Gus is the real deal, Mezera said. He is a great blend of natural talent, work ethic, confidence, and coachability. Ive truly enjoyed the two seasons Ive been his coach and I cant wait to see what he becomes. He is fun to coach because he is so aggressive and competitive, yet takes to coaching well. He can be a top- three finisher in the state by the time his career ends, and I dont say that lightly. Senior captain Andrew Plumb should also be poised for a big year. Plumb was Middletons No. 2 runner at state and No. 3 finisher at sectionals last season. Andrew is another dedicated member of the team, Mezera said. He provides consistency week- to-week. Hes looking like he found another gear during the track season. This should spell good things for us in cross country. Junior David Marrone was a huge reason the Cardinals reached the state meet a year ago. His 12th place over- all finish at sectionals was second among Middleton runners, and helped it edge Baraboo for the final state berth. David gets better as the race goes on, Mezera said. Last season, Davids performance at sectionals was integral to getting us to state.The key is to keep him aggressive early on in the race. Junior Christian Lindblom was a key member of the Cardinals state qualifying team, and has had an impressive start to the year finish- ing second on the team at last weeks time trials. The sky is the limit for Christian, Mezera said.A transfer from football and lacrosse, Christian is still quite young in his career as a runner. All he has done in his year as a runner is steadily improve.I expect that trend to bode well for the team this season. Mezera calls senior captain Hayden Johnston one of the most dedicated runners youll meet. That should bode well for both Johnston and the Cardinals this fall. Middleton should also get a boost from newcomers Jack Rader, Zach Shoemaker-Allen, Evan Birschbach and Bryce Hellenbrand. Rader finished fourth at Middletons time trials last week, and earned himself a varsity spot for now. Having young talent on the boys side of cross country is rare and tough to come by, Mezera said. Thats why we were so excited to see just how talented Jack Rader is. He is looking to be a key contributor to the varsity squad all season long. Shoemaker-Allen was a standout in track, then decided to run cross coun- try instead of playing football this fall. Birschbach also had a strong track season and is looking for continued success on the cross country trails. And Hellenbrand has been a pleasant surprise in his first season running cross country. Several holdovers could also play large roles in the Cardinals eventual success. Sophomore Ryan Madoch was an alternate for state, while senior captain Paxton Bauer has had an impressive start and will run with the varsity at Verona. Senior Max Stenklyft is another captain looking to make a splash, while junior Cole Conklin-Little is one of Middletons most talented run- ners and is hoping to make a jump. The Cardinals are also hoping to make a jump right toward the top of the state. That thrilling journey begins Saturday. Hold on tight. They were already one of the most talented and experienced teams in the state. Then, Middletons girls cross coun- try team added more gifted runners to the mix. The Cardinals brought back six of seven runners from last years team that finished fourth at the WIAA Division 1 state meet. Then at last weeks time trials, Middleton had three newcomers break through. The result is a team that should challenge for a state title this fall. Middletons first test comes Saturday, when it begins the season at the Verona Invite. Running your fastest time at the end of the season is everyones goal, said Middleton co-coach Cindy Bremser, who shares head coaching duties with Isaac Mezera. It is natural to want to place higher than the previ- ous year, and hopefully we can pre- pare each athlete to be their strongest at that time. A lot will depend on who returns from other teams and who will move up on our team. Middletons top returnee is junior Sam Valentine, who was 13th individ- ually at state last year. Valentine also finished second at the Big Eight Conference meet. She was our top runner through- out last season and has the potential to get even better, Bremser said. She is recovering from a stress fracture in track, but appears to be coming back. Senior Rachel Wians is another ter- rific returnee who was 22nd individu- ally at state and fifth at the Big Eight meet. Rachel has become a stronger run- ner each year and runs with confi- dence, Bremser said. She was our second runner at state and appears to have the ability to maintain that posi- tion or higher. Senior Bobbi Patrick was 50th individually at state and has shined early on this fall. And senior Jenny Launder overcame injuries last year and has started the year extremely strong. Freshmen Emily Duecker and Charlotte Sue, along with sophomore- Callie Stafford also earned varsity spots during time trials and will race at Verona on Saturday. Emily, Charlotte and Callie came into the season with some summer mileage, look very strong and attack the workouts, Bremser said. This work ethic will only lead their success and to team success. Seniors Jenny Mangas and Jenny Phillips both ran at state last year and will be looking to break back into the lineup. Other girls in the mix include sen- ior Emily Zeker; juniors Milena Martin, Autumn Grim, Greta Hevesi and Katie Schmidt; sophomores Madeline Ace, Maya Gibson, Jane Buck, Morgan Eder and Lauren Hartig; and freshmen Leta Landucci, Erika Radar, Iris Ohlogge and Mallory Rongstad. With this depth, we are hoping to continue to be competitive, ultimately win conference and improve on our state placing, Bremser said. We feel if the girls continue to practice the way they have the past two weeks and continue with their positive attitude, the possibilities are endless. Middleton has 75 girls in the pro- gram, giving Bremser plenty of options. Of those, roughly 20 run together in workouts, meaning many Cardinals will be battling for varsity spots throughout the season. What adds to the excitement is the number of girls running at the higher level, Bremser said. Our goal is to have everyone improve and support one another. And potentially challenge for that state title.

Times-Tribune photo by Mary Langenfeld Gus Newcomb and Middletons boys cross country team have lofty aspirations this fall. by ROB REISCHEL Times-Tribune THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2014 MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE PAGE 17 Middletons girls golfers continued their torrid start to the 2014 season last Thursday. The Cardinals shot a 330 and defeated Madison Memorial (351) and Madison La Follette (inc.) in a Big Eight Conference triangular held at Odana Hills. This was a big win for us, Middleton coach Becky Halverson said. I think the girls put quite a bit of pressure on themselves for this one. We have seen Memorials scores the past couple weeks and they have been pretty low. I could tell our girls nerves were getting to them on the first nine holes. Loren Skibba led the Cardinals with a 75, while Rachel Thornton carded an 83. Alexis Thomas fired an 84 and Morgan Narowetz shot an 88. Middletons quartet shot 173 on its first nine, then shot 157 on the back nine. Skibba was seven shots better (41-34) and Narowetz improved by six shots (47-41). I was glad that they were able to relax more on their second nine and play more to their abilities, Halverson said. All the girls improved on their second nine, which is great. On deck: Middleton was at the Morgan Stanley Invite Wednesday at University Ridge. The Cardinals face Janesville Craig and Madison West in a triangular Thursday at Odana Hills at 2:30 p.m. Middleton then hosts its own invite Saturday at Pleasant View at 11:30 a.m. It should be a good week, Halverson said. MHS golfers remain red hot by ROB REISCHEL Times-Tribune VERONA The Streak was al- most five years old. It was impressive, imposing and downright extraordinary. But all good things must end, and for Middletons girls swimming and diving team, the expiration date came last Fri- day. The Cardinals, who hadnt lost a Big Eight Conference dual meet since the 2009 season, were dunked by host Verona-Mount Horeb. The Wildcats nipped Middleton, 89-81, in a thrilling and extremely loud season- opener for both teams. We knew this was going to be one of our toughest tests of the season, Middleton coach Lauren Wencel said. To have it as the first meet of the sea- son made it that much more difficult. We just were not mentally ready for this meet. Thats all there is to it. We match up to Verona very well in the pool and have the ability to beat a team like that. If you do not go in with confidence and poise, you will not beat them.We have a very young team and were just not quite there yet. On the other sideline, the Wildcats rejoiced after handing the mighty Car- dinals their first league loss since George W. Bush was in office. Going into the meet, the first meet of the sea- son and the first time for me coaching many of these girls, I did not know what to expect, Verona-Mount Horeb coach Bill Wuerger said.I was hoping wed be competitive, and if everything fell just right, maybe wed have a chance for an upset. The Cardinals did have several standout performances. Middletons 200 meter freestyle relay team of junior Samantha Roll, junior Victoria Lin, freshman Caroline Hippen and senior Paige Prestigiacomo was first 1:52.42. Lin won the 100 butterfly (1:07.02) and junior Emma Karbusicky was first in the 100 breaststroke (1:17.69). Middletons 100 medley relay team of Lin, Karbusicky, freshman Chiara Pierobon-Mays and junior Samantha Roll was second. The Cardinals 400 freestyle relay team of Caroline Hip- pen, Pierobon-Mays, sophomore Mar- garet McGill and Prestigiacomo was also second. Middleton also had second place showings from Hippen in the 200 freestyle (2:13.17) and the 400 freestyle (4:45.05), McGill in the 200 IM (2:33.87), Roll in the 100 freestyle (1:02.19), and sophomore Tryn Peter- son in the 100 backstroke (1:10.70). The Cardinals third place showings came from Prestigiacomo in the 100 freestyle (1:02.91) and the 200 freestyle (2:14.47), Karbusicky in the 200 IM (2:36.40), Peterson in the 50 freestyle (29.44), and Lin in the 100 backstroke (1:11.41). Middletons 200 medley relay team (Peterson, sophomore Morgan Pin- combe, sophomore Anna Bauerle and junior Kristin Hartung), 200 freestyle relay team (Hartung, senior Lauren Kalvin, junior Victoria Trantow and sophomore Margaret McGill) and 400 freestyle relay team (Kalvin, senior Maggie Mangas, sophomore Elise Hokanson and Peterson) all finished third. In the end, though, it wasnt enough. We have a lot of talent and poten- tial, but need to mature and gain confi- dence before any of that matters, Wencel said. As a coach, it was ex- tremely hard to talk to a group of girls who have not lost a dual meet in four years after the meet. This was a very new and unfamiliar conversation, but I tried to stress the importance of reflec- tion and growth to them. We did some really great things that we can build on and had some superb senior leadership take place that needs to continue. There were some moments of greatness, but not enough of them. Wencel is optimistic this early-sea- son adversity will drive her team to work even harder and become the type of team everyone anticipated. We will learn much more from this one loss than we did from 36 victories, no question, Wencel said. This was a humbling loss that will make the girls incredibly determined to improve. We will see Verona five more times this season in many different formats and I am confident that with some im- proved mental toughness and additional training, we can come out on top. Middletons streak ends Girls swimmers lose first Big 8 dual since 2009 by ROB REISCHEL Times-Tribune Times-Tribune photo by Mary Langenfeld Victoria Lin and Middletons girls swimming team fell to Verona-Mount Horeb last Friday. It was the Cardinals first loss in a Big Eight Conference dual meet since 2009. To many, Middletons boys soccer team was a mystery this season. Fifteen seniors gone from a year ago. Untested and unproven players all over the field. Well, four games into the young season, the mystery has been solved. These Cardinals have a chance for big things. Middleton rolled to three extremely impressive wins last week and improved to 4-0 on the year. The Cardinals routed Janesville Parker, 10-0, last Thursday. Middleton then bested Neenah, 4-2, last Friday and toppled Hartland Arrowhead, 4-0, last Saturday. Neenah entered the weekend ranked tahird in the latest Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association poll, while Arrowhead was ranked fourth. In the Cardinals rout of Parker, they raced to a 7-0 halftime lead. Middleton also finished with a 32-0 advantage in shots on goal. Braden Allen and Nic Bilodeau both had two goals for Middleton. Devin Ott, Ivan Kahamenka, Mitchell Oswald, Noah Steiner, Gabe Garlough-Shah and Noah Steiner all scored as well. This was a game to ease into the Big Eight, Middleton coach Ben Kollasch said. This has historically been the weakest opponent in the Big Eight and that showed this year as well. We are in the process of learning where to put all the quality players we have and what arrangements on the field work best for them. This game did not stretch our capabilities, but it did allow us to try out lots of combi- nations and start to sort out who plays well together. Middleton followed that up with an impressive win over Neenah, a state qualifier each of the past two seasons. Khamenka scored on two penalty kicks and Allen had two assists. Middletons Jordan Grapentine and Ott also had goals as the Cardinals rolled. This was our first ranked oppo- nent and first challenge of the season, Kollasch said. We responded very well. While we did give up two goals, we were always threatening and could easily have scored more ourselves to make this a lopsided game. The Cardinals then blasted perenni- al power Hartland Arrowhead. After a scoreless first half, Bilodeau scored in the 46th minute and Khamenka added another goal in the 64th minute to make it 2-0. Tyler Ballweg gave the Cardinals a 3-0 lead in the 76th minute, and Oswald scored in the 80th minute to make it 4-0. Middleton keepers Jack Jesse and Brendan Martin combined for three saves to post the shutout. This was a superb game against a perennial powerhouse and ranked opponent, Kollasch said. This was a great indication that we are getting organized and are ready to start the Big Eight season in full. On deck: Middleton was at Verona Tuesday, then is at the Kettle Moraine Quadrangular Friday and Saturday. Two of the Cardinals oppo- nents at the quadrangular Menomonee Falls and Kettle Moraine are currently ranked in the top-10. PAGE 18 MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2014 Middletons girls volleyball team opened its season with a bang last week. The Cardinals went to the Cobleigh Invitational in Wisconsin Rapids and won the tournament. Middleton went 7-0 on the day, marking an extremely impressive start for a young and revamped team. This is a good start for the confi- dence level of this young team, Middleton coach Franco Marcos said. Middleton opened with a 28-26, 19-25, 16-14 win over defending tournament champion Fox Valley Lutheran. Logan Welti led the way with 15 kills and six digs, Rachel Severson had 11 assists and Audrey Hinshaw had nine kills and two blocks. Amber Karn and Morgan Schmitt both added two aces and six digs, while Cole Jordee had nine assists. The Cardinals then dumped host Wisconsin Rapids, 25-14, 25-16. Welti had eight kills and KateLyn Robson added five assists. Amber Karn had five aces, Severson had three aces, Molly Zeinemann had 3.5 blocks and Jordee added three kills and six assists. Middleton then rolled past Rib Lake, 25-14, 25-21. Welti had nine kills, Morgan Roberts had seven digs and Jessi Nonn added four digs. Karn had two aces and seven digs, Schmitt had two aces, Zeinemann added three blocks and Jordee had two blocks and 12 assists. Middleton then edged Medford, 27-25, 26-24. Robson had 10 assists, Hinshaw had 10 kills, and Welti added nine kills and 11 digs. Karn had 15 digs, Schmitt had 10 digs and Jordee added four kills and 10 assists. The Cardinals then cruised past Laconia, 25-13, 25-19. Severson had eight assists, Hinshaw had nine kills and Welti had five kills and nine digs. Karn added three aces and five digs, Schmitt had two aces and eight digs and Jordee had three aces and 15 assists. Middleton followed that with a 25-14, 25-15 rout of Colby.

Nonn added two aces, Severson and Robson both had four assists, Schmitt added seven digs and Meghan Beyer had two blocks. Middleton then capped its perfect day with a 25-17, 25-19 win over Fox Valley Lutheran. Welti had 10 kills and four digs, Jordee had 10 assists and two aces, and Hinshaw had six kills. Karn added two aces and four digs, Schmitt had two aces and eight digs, Zeinemann had four blocks and Bayer had added blocks. Middleton also went 2-1 and fin- ished in second place at the four- team Oconomowoc Quadrangular last Thursday. The Cardinals opened with a 25- 15, 25-8 win over Oconomowoc. Welti had seven kills, Schmitt had two aces and Karn had seven digs. They had a very good hitter and we were able to keep her in the back row most of the time, Marcos said. We served them tough and kept them out of system. Oconomowoc then toppled the Cardinals, 21-25, 25-23, 15-13. Welti had 11 kills and nine digs, while Hinshaw had five kills. Jordee added four kills and five assists, Karn had 10 digs, Severson had six assists, Zeinemann had 4.5 blocks, Bayer had four blocks, and Gabie Buechner had 2.5 blocks. It was a close match and we came up short, Marcos said. Middleton then held off a scrappy Badger team, 26-24, 23-25, 16-14. Welti had 11 kills and 10 digs, Severson had seven assists and Robson had six assists. Karn added four aces and five digs, Elizabeth Keller and Zeinemann both had four kills, and Jordee had three blocks, four assists and three digs. They pushed us to the limit and we got to see everyone in action, Marcos said.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2014 MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE PAGE 19 led by defensive tackles Chase Jollie and Nikko Miller, and a group of speedy linebackers took that away. The Wildcats finished the night with just 58 rushing yards on 26 car- ries (2.2). And Verona standout run- ning back Eric Schmid was held to 39 yards on 18 carries. The kids up front just dominated, said Middleton defensive coordinator Tom Cabalka, whose unit is allowing only 4.5 points per game. If Verona can run that trap, theyre really effec- tive. If they cant run that trap, theyre not effective. We really challenged our kids and they probably worked harder all week getting ready for Verona than any team weve ever had. I credit that as much as anything because they knew what they needed to do. We werent second guessing anything. Middleton was scratching its col- lective head, though, after an uneven first half left the teams tied, 9-9. Middleton outgained Verona, 182- 100, in the first half and held a 9-4 edge in first downs. But the Cardinals committed seven penalties includ- ing three inside the Wildcats 10-yard line that killed drives. Middleton also missed an extra point and a 28-yard field goal. The Cardinals trailed, 9-3, late in the first half, before Maly ripped off a 20-yard TD run off right tackle to tie things just 52 seconds before the break. We shot ourselves in the foot, Simon said. Some of the stuff was just inexcusable. But we told them, Were moving the ball offensively. And if we can get rid of the penalties, well be fine. We just had to clean those things up. They did. On Middletons second drive of the second half, it marched to the Verona 11-yard line. Senior quarterback Kellan Schulz hit junior wideout Mitchell Bacon for 19 yards on the march and Maly ripped off a 14-yard run. Then after the drive stalled, junior Jacob Mefford drilled a 29-yard field goal to give the Cardinals a 12-9 lead. On Veronas next series, Middleton defensive end Alex Wills who lived in the Wildcats backfield all night pressured quarterback Noah Roberts. Roberts sent a floater down the middle of the field and safety Max Boehnen intercepted at the Verona 48. It was awesome coming off the edge like that, said the speedy Wills, who runs the 40-yard dash in 4.8 sec- onds. We knew we were the better team. We just had to step up and put it all together. On Middletons ensuing drive, Schulz connected with senior tight end Mitchell Herl on three straight passing plays for 36 yards. The Cardinals eventually reached the Verona 2-yard line and faced a fourth-and-1. Maly barreled off left guard and picked up the first down by inches. One play later, Maly hit paydirt to give the Cardinals an 18-9 lead with 1:06 left in the third quarter. I owe a lot of it to the offensive line, Maly said. Those guys did a great job, getting me some room. Then I just had to finish. Maly kept finishing throughout the fourth quarter, as did his fired up teammates. Verona tried a fake punt early in the fourth quarter, but when that failed, Middleton started at the Wildcats 45- yard line. Four plays later, Maly zipped off left tackle and scored from 18 yards out to push the Cardinals lead to 25- 7. Cams very explosive, Simon said. Hes got some wiggle to him, but hes also got some real power through his hips. Veronas next drive died when Wills nearly sacked Roberts on fourth down. The Cardinals then finished the Wildcats off with a seven-play, 60- yard march that ended in another 1- yard TD run by Maly. I dont care that much about how many touchdowns I score, Maly said. As long as we win Im happy. I just want to keep this season going in this direction. There are many signs pointing to that becoming a reality. Schulz had a second straight solid game, completing 17-of-26 passes for 217 yards. I thought he struggled a little bit early, Simon said of Schulz. But he really settled down nicely. Bacon had a huge night, catching eight passes for 116 yards. Herl added five receptions for 55 yards. Defensively, the Cardinals contin- ued to dazzle. With a veteran unit, Middleton expected its defense to dominate, and that group hasnt disappointed. Even when weve beat these guys, we havent played defense like this, Cabalka said. Its been kind of a race track out there. So this was a lot of fun. Wills agreed. I think we all knew what we could do, Wills said. We just had to deliv- er. Mission accomplished.
