Group of Teens Committing Youth Group Experiencing More
Burglaries, Car Thefts in Area Growth Than it Can Handle
BY MICHELLE PHILLIPS
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–A Mid-
dleton neighborhood experi-
enced a string of burglaries
and thefts from vehicles over
the weekend. Residents on
Red Beryl Drive, Sunstone
Lane and Sand Pearl Trail dis-
covered items stolen not only
from their cars, but also their
homes. The incidents were re-
ported on both June 22 and 23,
with the majority of the car
thefts on the first night.
Middleton Police Cap-
tain Steve Britt, said that the
thefts are being carried out
by a group of teenagers, all
juveniles, mostly from Mad-
ison and Fitchburg. He said
in addition to stealing from
unlocked cars, the teens have
been going through open ga-
rage doors and making their
way in homes through un-
locked entry doors.

MIDDLETON–The Middle-
ton Common Council approved
a conceptual agreement which
provides an additional $1.26
million in developer financed
TIF assistance for T. Wall En-
terprises’ Middleton Center
project. The project is now in
the third phase of development
and has an existing TIF agree-
ment for nearly $10 million.
Wall requested the funds to
assist with tenant buildout in
commercial spaces that have
been sitting vacant in phase
one building since it opened
more than a year ago. Last
year’s hurricanes in Texas and
will open the garage door
with the opener found in an
unlocked car. “They’ll hit
the garage door opener, then
run and wait to see if anyone
comes,” he said. “These are
some gutsy kids, they will run
in and steal the first purse or
wallet they find.”
On the night of June 22
Dane County was involved in
three pursuits of juveniles and
stolen vehicles. (See related
story, page 3.)
The Middleton Police De-
partment (MPD) believes that
this is the same group that was
breaking into homes and cars
in the fall and early winter.
With thefts around the area,
local law enforcement agen-
cies banded together to form
a task force. During that time,
it was a group of roughly 20
kids ranging in age from
13-16 committing the crimes,
and about half were arrested.
The teenagers would steal cars
to use as transportation, then
Puerto Rico and tariffs placed
on imports by President Don-
ald Trump have skyrocketed
the cost of buildout, Wall says.
When completed Middleton

Cowboy Jack’s Moving in to Old Sprecher’s Location
BY MICHELLE PHILLIPS
Times-Tribune
MADISON–Madison is
about to have a new restau-
rant that is right near the Mad-
ison-Middleton City Limit
divide. Cowboy Jack’s, a small
Minnesota-based chain that
began in Plymouth, MN in
2009 will be opening its doors
later this year.
The restaurant will be in the
former Sprecher’s location at
1262 John Q. Hammons Drive
and renovations began at the
end of May. The façade of the
building will change to keep
with the Cowboy Jack’s theme.
The chain currently has about
a dozen franchises around the
Midwest, including one in Al-
toona, WI.
Jesi Konen, Vice Presi-
dent-Director of Marketing &
Communication for The After
Midnight Group, said the goal
is to cater to everyone from kids
to seniors. “Whether you are
out for dinner with your family,
having lunch with a co-worker,
having a business meeting, or
wanting to have a fun happy
hour with your friends, we cater
abandon them and steal others
to get away. Britt said the sto-
len cars have been recovered.
“It quieted for a little while
after the arrests,” Britt ex-
plained, “They seem more
organized than last fall. Now
they are bringing a couple of
stolen cars to a neighborhood
and dropping people off, then
they come back around in dif-
ferent cars and pick them up.”
Britt said that this is an
active case and they do have
some leads and a suspect. If
you have any information
concerning these crimes or the
suspects, you are urged to call
the MPD by calling or texting
608-824-7300 or 911.
The police department is
also asking people to make
sure they lock their cars and
all garage doors and entry
doors. They also warn to al-
ways keep your garage door
closed and not to leave your
key fob or keys in the car.

The restaurant’s menu fea-

During the annual youth cen-
ter presentation to the Middleton
Common Council, the center’s
director Gabrielle Hinahara
announced she’s had to begin
limiting summer enrollment be-
cause of unexpected growth in
attendance.
“For the first time in the youth
center’s history we started an
enrollment waitlist,” Hinahara
said. “Our summer program
opened yesterday, and we had 63
students show up and 63 show
up today and we have four staff
members over the summer.”
Hinahara said she wouldn’t
leave any families stranded but
she felt like she had no choice
but to limit new enrollments.
“Given the number of stu-
dents we are serving and number
with special needs I feel that a
one to 10 staff to student ratio is
what is safe and appropriate and
so I would really like that num-
ber to be closer to 45,” Hinahara
said.
Hinahara explained that she
is only accepting students who
were enrolled last year or al-
ready enrolled for this year.
Families that enroll now, and in
the future will be emailed if en-
rollment decreases.
“It’s unfortunate to have to do
it because there are a lot of fami-
lies in this community that want
their students participating in
this program, but also keeping it
safe and keeping the quality and
relationships and of that is some-
thing we have to keep in mind.”
Alder Robert Burke said it
under 550 calorie, gluten free,
and vegetarian options.”
The building has a huge patio
attached, which was the corner-
stone for other restaurants that
operated there. “The patio at
this property is phenomenal and
we can’t wait to play around
with different events, promos,
and live music,” Konen said.
The company is also known
for their community involve-
seemed to him that the youth
center was a victim of its own
success.
“I’m amazed at how much
you and your staff do with so lit-
tle and I want to thank you and
hope that we can continue to ex-
pand whatever we can because
this is such a valuable program
year-round,” Burke said.
Mayor Gurdip Brar asked if
the youth center could use all the
rooms in the Clark Street Com-
munity School building rather
than the handful is it is using.
Hinahara said Clark Street
school has more students and
more staff. She said for all
the rooms to be available they
would also need more staff.
She added that there are dis-
cussions going on in the school
district about the possibility of
combining Clark Street with the
high school in the planned ex-
pansion.
Alder Mark Sullivan asked
City Administrator Mike Davis
if he had had any discussions
with the district about funding a
new staff position.
Assistant director for recre-
ation Rebecca Price chimed in
saying that those discussions had
started with her and Hinahara.
Price explained the youth
center has a five-year user agree-
ment set up that gets reviewed
yearly and has a five-year lifes-
pan. She said the agreement is
up for renewal and some new
options are being considered.
The district is considering
making Hinahara authorized as
a buyer in a cooperative buy-
ing program. Price said they are
looking at other ways they can
ment through work with local
shelters, pet rescues, Patriot
Guard, Good in the Hood and
Special Olympics, raising more
than $200,000 for the latter.
“We are very active with fund-
raisers and love working with
local schools, sports programs,
and community non-profits,”
Konen added.
The Madison location is
expected to employ about 150
work together through intern-
ships and student teachers.
Price said the other piece that
hasn’t been touched on was that
the youth center has run through
its snack budget for the year be-
cause of increased attendance.
“They’ve blown through their
entire food budget for the year
because if you look at our num-
bers we have provided 10 more
snacks every day of the week on
average this school year and you
have 63 kids during the summer
that you now have to provide
20 more snacks on a daily basis
to these kids,” Price said. “We
know we have to figure out a
plan to be able to move forward
and serve people.”
Price said she’s also contacted
local colleges to get interns from
the therapeutic recreation pro-
gram for the fall to address stu-
dents with special needs.
Hinahara said it is a little
more complicated from the
school district’s perspective in
terms of being equitable.
“There is a problem with eq-
uity within the school district
where these kids at Kromrey
have the youth center and the
kids at Glacier Creek do not
have a program,” Hinahara
said. “There is a really highly
concentrated pocket of poverty
with students coming from the
Elver Park area who go to Gla-
cier Creek who do not have after
school or summer options.”
Hinahara said that is why the
district is bussing kids to and
from the Elver Park area.
“But obviously we can’t just

Middleton Optimists, Police Department Hold Cops & Bobbers

Photos Submitted

The Middleton Police Department and the Middleton Optimist Club held Cops & Bobbers on June 16 at Lakeview
Park. The event was free, and 150 fishing poles were given away to participants. About 200 kids turned out for a day of
fishing. The Midleton Public Library and Reach a Child were both handing out free books at the event. Winner of the
largest fish was Joseph Rowe (pictiured top left) with a 13-inch carp, and the award for the smallest fish went to Tommy
McCallum (pictured bottom left) who caught a three-inch bluegill.

‘Folktales of the Middle West’ &

Live Folk Music at the Library
MIDDLETON–Author and
journalist Edward McClelland
returns to the Middleton Public
Library on Wednesday, July
11th, to discuss his latest book,
“Folktales and Legends of the
Middle West.” Joining McClel-
land will be guitarist/fiddler
Mareva Lindo of Chicago’s Old
Town School of Folk Music,
who will be performing some
of the folksongs discussed in
the book.
McClelland’s book, his sixth
work of non-fiction, is a history
of the Midwest as told through
its folklore and music as well as
an introduction to the region’s
larger-than-life legends, tall-
tales and folksongs, including
the shanties of the Great Lakes
sailors and the spirituals of the
slaves following the North Star
across the Ohio River.
McClelland is a veteran po-
litical journalist working out
of Chicago. In 2000 he met a
young Barack Obama during
the latter’s failed campaign for
Congress, and his coverage of
that race became the basis for
“Young Mr. Obama: Chicago
and the Making of a Black
President.” His other books
include “How to Speak Mid-
western,” “The Third Coast,”
and “Nothin’ But Blue Skies:
The Heyday, Hard Times and
Hopes of America’s Industrial
Heartland.” His writing has
appeared in in the New York
Times, Los Angeles Times,
Columbia Journalism Review,
Salon, and Slate.
A Chicago native, Lindo is a
troubadour and lifelong collec-
tor of folk music. Raised play-
ing music with her family, she
was steeped in sea songs early
on via the shanty singers of the
Heritage Boat Club at Montrose
Harbor. A student of master
country blues guitarist Chris
Walz, she’s also known for her
fingerstyle blues and unusual
voice. As producer of “The
Archives” podcast at the Old
Town School of Folk Music,
she documents the stories be-
hind rare archival recordings
from their resource center.
The event will begin at 6:30
p.m. in the Archer Room on the
library’s lower-level. Copies
of McClelland’s book will be
available for purchase at the
event and the evening will con-
clude with a book signing. Reg-
istration is appreciated for this

Sheriff’s Office Arrests Teens in Car Thefts
DANE COUNTY–On Fri-
day, June 22, just after 6 p.m., a
Dane County Deputy observed a
vehicle driving at a high-rate of
speed on CTH B in the Town of
Christiana, and initiated a traffic
stop for the violation. The vehicle
failed to stop; a short pursuit was
initiated and then quickly termi-
nated by a Dane County Sheriff’s
Office supervisor. The speeding
Acura TSX was then seen driv-
ing north on CTH N in the Town
of Pleasant Springs, continuing at
a high-rate of speed and entering
the ditch, where it lost two tires.
The vehicle continued and had
crashed into a nearby field, with
all three occupants seen running
away from the area. Deputies
confirmed the Acura had been
reported stolen to the Madison
Police Department a few days
earlier.
With the assistance of person-
nel from the Wisconsin State Pa-
trol, McFarland Police K9 Unit,
Cottage Grove Police and the
Stoughton Police Department,
Deputies established a perime-
ter and began searching the area
for the suspects. An hour into
the search, two suspicious vehi-
cles were observed nearby–both
vehicles were confirmed stolen
through Madison PD and Fitch-
burg PD. All of the occupants
were detained and confirmed to
be associates of the three, initial
suspects.

MICHELLE’S
Musings
BY MICHELLE PHILLIPS
Alpine Valley
I love Alpine Valley.
In my opinion, Alpine Val-
ley Music Theatre, nestled in
the hills and dales of southeast
Wisconsin is one of the great-
est places in the country to see
a live musical performance.
It’s natural bowl shape makes
for incredible acoustics, and
the setting is as picturesque as
they come. I have been there on
cool summer nights when the
sinking moon turns the color
of a blood orange and a misty
fog hovers in the sky above the
stage, blocking all evidence of
the ski slope behind.
The 40-year-old amphithe-
ater announced in 2016 that
it would close for a year due
to failure to book a single act
in 2017. Not one. It claimed
it would make improvements
while closed and be back in
2018. It did come back but has
only booked three acts and five
shows for the whole summer,
the first two were last weekend,
and I attended.
Mind you, I am a music lover
and have been to more than 200
concerts in my life and a cou-
ple dozen at Alpine Valley, and
though I stated it is great for
music, it has some issues.
The first problem is simply
getting in and out of the park-
ing lot. The congestion is outra-
geous, insane and unnecessary
with better planning. At a venue
that has a 37,000 capacity, you
might think they would have
more than three lanes and three
entrances to the parking lots.
Alas, you would be wrong. It
took us about 45 minutes to go
half a mile.
At the concerts last weekend,
Dead & Company, a band fea-
turing former members of the
Grateful Dead and featuring
John Mayer, the parking lot
opened four hours before the
concert. You could pay extra
to get into the lots early, which
I will get back to in a minute.
People were still trying to get
into the parking lots minutes
before the scheduled 7 p.m.
start time on Saturday night.
This led to the next problem,
which was getting into the ac-
tual venue. I got in line a little
after 6 p.m., and was still there
until almost 7:45, missing the
first three songs. The problem
here was that they only had
two gates open to take tickets.
I don’t have an official count,
but the show looked close to
sold out, and the amphitheater
was packed.
Back to the cost to get in
early. That was just one addi-
tional fee. If you had an RV
or bus, it was an extra $100 to
park it. A limo paid $60. Fortu-
nately, parking was included in
the ticket for cars, but I would
be unhappy if I had an RV and
got stuck with $100 for parking.
This leads me to the topic of
camping. You used to be able
to camp at Alpine Valley. I
have done it, the last time in the
early 2000s before they stopped
allowing camping altogether.
The campground, however,
was closed, which actually
would have been a good way
for them to make additional
money. Also, much safer for
those who chose to imbibe too
much during the concert.
Speaking of alcohol, let’s
talk about the prices of drinks
and snacks. I bought a mixed
drink and a liter of water, of
which I was not allowed to keep
the lid, but whatever. The pair
cost me $26. A tall can of beer
was $15. This is not my first
time around, and I was prepared
with a cooler full Spotted Cow
and snacks, so that was the only
thing I bought inside. If I had
the need for food or a second
drink, I would have to have a
better salary than that of an edi-
tor to manage.
As for improvements, ev-
erything still looks like it is 40
years old. I could not see much
different in that regard. Maybe
a fresh coat of paint, but not
much else.
Now I know it sounds like
I am hating on Alpine Valley,
but for all of its hassle and price
gouging, it is still one of the
most beautiful and even mag-
ical places to see a live band.

Styrofoam Ban Needed
Dear Editor:
Last month, a six-ton, 33-foot-long sperm whale washed up on
the shore of Spain after dying from the 64 pounds of plastic found
in its intestines, including bags, nets, ropes and food containers.
Our waste is killing our wildlife, ending up in natural areas all over
the globe and affecting the health of our fisheries.
By banning unnecessary items like plastic foam cups and take-
out containers, we can greatly reduce plastic waste and the public
health hazard it causes. Luckily, momentum for banning dangerous
plastics is building. Over 200 cities and municipalities have banned
polystyrene containers. In Wisconsin, without a state-wide ban, the
people cannot protect their natural resources which belong to all.
McDonald’s and Dunkin Donuts have already agreed to phase out
foam cups and containers voluntarily, along with many locally
owned businesses throughout the state.
Ending the use of harmful polystyrene in Wisconsin can help us
protect our oceans, lakes and rivers and keep them safe for future
generations of voters and the wildlife we love.
Susan Scott, Madison
Drawing Arbitrary Borders
To the Editor:
On our family trip heading west, we crossed many borders and
never worried about the ramifications of these political boundaries.
Nor about the possibility of the state detaining or separating us.
It was as if the borders were nothing more than invisible lines,
arbitrarily drawn, marked by smiling welcome signs with regional
oddities.

“We are glad you’re here.” They said, “Spend some time and
money.” We were glad to be there, too.

Q: How Can I Work Toward My Own
Financial Independence Day?
A: We’re getting close to the Fourth of July, our national
Independence Day. This holiday may get you thinking about
freedoms you hope to enjoy – such as financial freedom. How
can you reach this goal?
First, pay yourself first by having money taken from your
paycheck and invested in your 401(k) or similar plan. And you
can move money directly from your checking or savings
account to an IRA.
You’ll also want to avoid potholes on the road to financial
independence. One such pothole is debt – the higher your
debt payments, the less you will have to invest. Of course, the
cost of living is always high, but do the best you can to live
within your means.
Finally, invest according to your individual risk tolerance. If
you take on too much risk, or too little, you may end up
making decisions that can cause setbacks on the road to
financial freedom.
By making the right moves, you can keep moving toward
your own Financial Independence Day – and that’s an occasion
worth celebrating.

Soccer Cardinals get their kicks

Middleton puts seven players
on the all-Big Eight team
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Before the 2018 girls’ soc-
cer season began, Middleton
head coach Mary Duffy gath-
ered her seniors together.
Duffy, who’s been in the
program 13 years and has been
the Cardinals’ head coach for
eight, had a simple message.
“I said, ‘This is your season.
You set the tone,’ ” Duffy
recalled. “I’ll be here next year
for another one, but this is
your last. How do you want it
to be?”
Turns out, it was a memo-
rable one.
Middleton won a second
straight Big Eight Conference
title and climbed to the No.
1 spot in the state rankings.
The Cardinals eventually were
knocked off in the sectional
semifinals, but their bevy of
achievements left quite an
impression on the voters for
all-Big Eight Conference hon-
ors.
Middleton senior forward
Lexi Schultz, sophomore mid-
fielder Tyler Wilson and junior
defender Emily Raisleger
were all named first-team all-
Big Eight. Junior midfielder
Danielle Martin and senior
keeper Caroline Powers were
named second-team all-con-
ference, while freshman for-
ward Victoria Bunz and senior
defender Emily Duecker were
both named honorable-mention
all-Big Eight.
“Sometimes the seasons
blend into each other. They get
repetitive or ordinary,” Duffy
said. “This season was far from
ordinary. It was more than stats
or rankings or accomplish-
ments. It was more than the
hours spent at practices or the
buckets of sweat poured into
each task. 
“It was not merely another
season like I alluded to when I

tops Ashton
in showdown
Hellenbrand hurls gem for 29ers
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
It was supposed to be a
showdown for league suprem-
acy.
But Middleton’s Home
Talent League team grabbed
control early and never relin-
quished its momentum.
The 29ers got a sensation-
al pitching performance from
Ross Hellenbrand and rolled
past Ashton, 7-0, on Sunday.
Middleton improved to 6-2
and moved into first place in
the Northern Section’s East
Division, while Ashton fell
to 6-3 and dropped to second
place.

week and expect to stay in the
game,” said Middleton man-
ager Brandon Hellenbrand,
whose team dropped a 12-9
decision to Black Earth on
June 17. “I loved the way our
guys answered (Sunday). We
were sound defensively and
keep chipping away at the
plate and were able to bring
seven runs across.”
Ross Hellenbrand was ter-
rific on the bump, throwing
seven scoreless innings, giv-
ing up seven hits, no walks
and striking out three. Drew
Farrell threw the final two
innings, allowing one hit and
striking out one.

ing preseason poll for Division
3 is from the Wisconsin Sports
Network (WisSports.net).

1. Kimberly 
The extraordinary is
becoming the routine for
the Papermakers under head
coach Steve Jones. Kimberly
had to replace a wealth of tal-
ent from 2016, but once again
went unbeaten to claim a fifth
straight state title, the last four
in Division 1. Along the way
the Papermakers stretched
their state record winning
streak to 70 games, the longest
active streak in the country.
It was not an easy path
to another championship, as
Kimberly had four games
decided by one score and three
more decided by two scores.
That included fourth-quarter
victories over Fond du Lac
(twice), Neenah, and Appleton
North.

among some that the time
could be right for it to finally
happen. However, after five
straight titles and 70 consecu-
tive wins, Kimberly is the king
until proven otherwise.
2. Muskego  lead against Kimberly in the
The Warriors have been
very competitive in the Classic
Eight for a number of years
and finished in a tie for sec-
ond place last year. Muskego
advanced to the state semi-
finals before falling to Sun
Prairie, their deepest postsea-
son penetration since a run-
ner-up finish in 1994.
All signs point to head
coach Ken Krause’s bunch
having what it takes to chal-
lenge for a spot at Camp
Randall in 2018. The team
likes to run the ball out of the
Wing-T on offense, and R.J.
Bosshart is one of the most
explosive ball carriers in the
state, averaging 11 yards per
carry last year.
Quarterback A.J. Makinen
also returns, though the
Warriors are looking for a
few more backs to mix in
the rotation. Muskego will
be strong up front with three
starting offensive linemen
back. The defensive front will
be a strength as well, though
the linebacking corps will
need an overhaul. The Classic
Eight is consistently one of
the best leagues in the state,
but Muskego has what it takes
to win it.
3. Fond du Lac  sive backs Jakes Asembo and
The Cardinals have been
agonizingly close the last few
years, advancing to Level 3 the
past four seasons, with three
playoff losses to Kimberly.
The last two years were games
Fond du Lac felt it had, only
to see the Papermakers rally
for a win.
There is a sentiment among
many that this could finally
be the year Fondy gets past
Kimberly, who they play
in Week 1. They’ll do it
with a new man in charge,
as Mike Gnewuch left for
Oconomowoc in the offsea-
son, and Steve Jorgensen takes
over.
Jorgensen has been an
assistant with the Cardinals the
last few years after previously
winning state titles as a head
coach at Oshkosh North and
Kimberly. He inherits a roster
with eight returning first-team
all-conference selections plus
four more that were honorable
mention. Four of them are on
the offensive line.
They do need to replace
quarterback Jack Cole as
well as leading rusher Colton
Wasieleski, but the pieces are
in place for another outstand-
ing season.

4. Sun Prairie
The Cardinals rode a deep
and talented senior class to
one of the best seasons in
school history, finishing 13-1
after a dominating regular
season before seeing an early
Division 1 title game slip
away in a 27-7 defeat.
Five all-state players grad-
uated, plus a couple other
Division 1 players and more
that were all-league choices. It
means a lot of new faces this
year, but a few of the returnees
will bring plenty to the table.
Cooper Nelson is a Division
1 prospect at receiver and one
of the top big-play threats in
the state. Ethan Ackley fin-
ished second on the team in
tackles last season and will
be looked to for leadership on
defense.
Head coach Brian Kaminski
has built the Cardinals into
a consistent powerhouse, and
that will be put to the test this
year.
5. Hudson  to challenge Kimberly’s dom-
Hudson brings back one
of the top quarterback pros-
pects in the state in senior
Keyser Helterbrand, who com-
pleted 65% of his passes a
year ago. Top receiver Max
Stubbendick graduated, but
Ben Karls showed plenty of
promise in catching 29 passes
for 488 yards.
A trio of first-team all-con-
ference defenders return: line-
backer Cody Cicha plus defen-
Jacob Daulton. Hudson has a
couple state semifinal trips in
the last six, and is hoping for
a shot at Madison once again.
6. Marquette  of consistency in the FRCC,
The Hilltoppers have qual-
ified for the playoffs in 16
of the 17 seasons since they
joined the WIAA in 2000. The
Greater Metro Conference
has been awfully crowd-
ed the last few years, with
both Brookfield Central and
Brookfield East making state
finals appearances. Marquette
should be able to compete
with both for the league crown
this year.
Josh Horning was the pri-
mary quarterback last season
and moves on, but both Leo
Briscoe and Michael McDevitt
saw time at the spot and are
back. Second-leading rush-
er Daeieon Brown-Williams
returns, along with all-
state caliber receiver Reed
Thompson, plus second-lead-
ing receiver Jimmy Ubert.
The defense had some ups and
downs, especially at the end
of the year, and could hold
the key to the team’s ultimate
success.
7. Franklin  10. Neenah  will turn to an experienced
The Sabers have been on
quite a run, making 17 straight
postseason appearances, win-
ning 35 playoff games during
that time. The team has 15
postseason wins in the last
five years. Franklin’s run of
four straight conference titles
came to an end, however, as it
finished a game behind Racine
Horlick.
The Sabres had to replace
seven players named first-
team all-conference, but
should have what it takes to
compete quite well again.
They’ve shown the ability to
replace elite players year after
year. The special teams should
be strong with Jack Tackerian,
the league’s kicker and punter
of the Year.
8. Appleton North  and Tim Nault.
The Lightning went 9-3
overall last year, with a cou-
ple competitive losses against
Kimberly and a crossover
defeat to Fond du Lac. The
Lightning will have a chance
inance behind talented senior
quarterback Carter Robinson,
who threw for more than
2,000 yards last season while
completing 68% of his pass-
es. His top targets are gone,
but the running back group
will remain a strength despite
losing leading rusher Will
Stewart.
Ian Laatsch and Ryan Balck
each saw a good amount of
action in the backfield a year
ago. Head coach Rob Salm
welcomes the return of four
starters over on defense.
9. Bay Port 
Bay Port has been a model
with 17 straight postseason
appearances, always com-
peting at or near the top of
the league standings. Bay
Port won an outright league
title last season for a second
straight year before falling to
Appleton North in Level 3 of
the playoffs, as the team hasn’t
been able to get over the hump
to a state finals appearance.
Head coach Gary
Westerman will need to
replace dynamic quarterback
Isaac Krause, who led the team
in passing and rushing, going
for more than 2,800 yards
of offense and producing 27
touchdowns. Junior running
back Isaiah Gash should see
his role in the offense increase
after going over 800 yards last
season.

The Rockets took a nice
step forward last year, sharing
the VFA-South title with Fond
du Lac. Neenah fell to Fondy
in a one score game during
the regular season, and also
dropped a 15-8 decision to
Kimberly. The next step for
the Rockets is to become a
legitimate state title contender,
something that could happen
as soon as this year.
Eight starters are back
from a suffocating defense,
including all-state lineback-
er Logan Eiden and lineman
Alex Boehlen, who shared

honors in the league. The

Sam Dietrich plus experienced
running back Carson Hughes
and receivers Logan Morrow
Neenah has opportunities
to get over the hump, with a
very challenging schedule that
includes home games against
Appleton North, Kimberly,
and Fond du Lac.
11. Arrowhead  a factor.
Arrowhead hasn’t quite
been what we’ve come to
expect from the Warhawks
the last couple years, finishing
third in the Classic Eight in
2016 and tying for fourth last
year.
It is an interesting season
for third-year head coach Fritz
Rauch. The team has some
nice younger players com-
ing up in the sophomore and
junior classes, but they’re not
necessarily proven at the var-
sity level.
The Warhawks’ offense
has struggled with consistency
issues at times, and the loss of
versatile Jeff Holtz, who led
the team in passing, rushing,
and was third in receiving,
doesn’t help.
Honorable-mention all-
league receivers Jason
Schleicher and J.J. Oehmcke
are back, along with sec-
ond-leading rusher Owen
Arnett, who did it as just a
freshman last season. The
defense showed improvement
after some early struggles but
does lose several of its top
playmakers.

Middleton junior defender Emily Raisleger (8) was named first-team all-Big Eight Conference, while freshman forward Victoria Bunz (14) was named honorable-mention all-conference.
SOCCER
“Lexi was a thrill to watch
play up top this year, pouring
her heart and soul into practice,
games and her teammates —
things we cannot coach,” Duffy
said. “She plays with such pas-
sion and was so crucial to our
success this year. She was one
of those players who could do
it all.  teams look silly in how they
“She is fast and athletic
and blew by people. She was
one of our most physical and
tenacious forwards, so dan-
gerous that at times, teams put
two people to mark her even
when she didn’t have the ball,
leaving our other dangerous
forwards open. Her presence
on the field made teams adjust
their play. She was speedy and
fast, but calm and composed
when we needed her.”
Wilson was a second-team
all-conference player as a
freshman, then received first-
team all-league honors this
year. Wilson finished the
season with 14 goals, two
game-winning goals and eight
assists for a team-high 36
points.
Wilson finished first
among midfielders in the all-
Big Eight voting, which put
her in the running for league
Player of the Year honors that
eventually went to Verona’s
Chandler Bainbridge.
“Tyler was one of those
players on our team this year
that we needed her presence
in games,” Duffy said. “She
is often a game changer in her
play and she has the ability
to make other defenders and
are defending her.  passes with our forwards and
“Tyler has the best foot
skills in tight situations of
anyone else in the Big Eight
Conference. She stepped up
in games taking on an oppo-
nent’s defense and was always
persistent in the attack, which
is one of her strengths, her
persistence. She will continue
to be a force to be reckoned
with as a junior and senior.”
Raisleger earned first-team
honors after receiving honor-
able-mention honors in 2017.
Raisleger was Middleton’s
leader in back, helping the
Cardinals allow just three
goals in nine conference
games.
“She was a vital part of
our defense … from her tena-
cious, tough, physical style of
defense to her pump up shouts
on the field encouraging and
pushing her teammates to the
next level,” Duffy said of
Raisleger. “When Emily left
the field people noticed.
“When she was on the
field people noticed because
of the work she does defen-
sively winning balls, fighting
mercilessly against the other
teams top attackers, and at
times bulldozing herself out
of tight spots and connecting
midfielder.”
Martin finished the year
with five goals and two assists,
but that doesn’t tell the whole
story. As Duffy said, “Our
possession almost always
goes through Dani.”
Martin was the key to the
Cardinals’ attack in the middle
of the field — both offensively
and defensively. And Duffy
know she’s fortunate to have
one year left with Martin help-
ing to lead MHS.
“She is one of our smart-
est players who knows what
we need without the coach-
es instructions,” Duffy said
of Martin. “She makes
in-the-moment decisions that
tactically keep our team in
the game and to maintain our
dominance in the middle of
the field.  their leader to be one that
“Often times teams over-
look her presence because she
is not flashy or loud, but her
quiet leadership and impact
on the field is top notch and
something that we have come
to depend on this team. She
was a consistent player that
we rarely subbed.”
Powers had a terrific sea-
son, making the routine saves
and notching several memora-
ble ones, as well.
In Middleton’s huge regu-
lar season over Madison West,
Powers made the save of the
season, diving horizontally
and tipping the ball around a
post to save what everyone
on the West side was cel-
ebrating as a goal. Powers
made several big saves in
Middleton’s playoff loss to
Janesville Craig and was key
in the Cardinals’ allowing just
three conference goals.
“Caroline Powers had
her best, complete year …
and made one of the biggest
impacts on our season,” Duffy
said. “She made spectacular
saves … and she was vocal,
consistent and a presence on
the field that commanded
respect and to be listened to.  Duecker also played several

would make it the goalie’s

job to direct and communi-
cate and lead on the field.
Caroline did a fantastic job of
leading her team to a second
straight Big Eight Conference
title. Caroline set out after last
season to make this one her
best and she worked extreme-
ly hard in the offseason to end
her career at Middleton with a
fantastic season.”
Bunz had a sensation-
al freshman season with 13
goals and seven assists for
33 points. Bunz also had five
game-winning goals, includ-
ing one against Sun Prairie in
the conference title game and
another in the 87th minute
against Madison Memorial.
“She gave us consistent
play as an outside forward
with speed, tenacity and poise
in front of the goal,” Duffy
said. “We look forward to see-
ing her tear up the Big Eight
as an offensive threat for the
next three years.”
Duecker, a four-year var-
sity member, played in all 18
games and helped lead the
Cardinals’ vaunted defense.
other positions and scored a
goal.
“Emily Duecker is a key
leader on our team,” Duffy
continued from page 9
said. “With her speed and
knowledge of the game, she
has the ability to play almost
any position, even though
for the past few years we
have kept her in our defense.
However that didn’t stop her
from sneaking into the attack
from defense and at times,
playing forward if we needed
her there.
“She is one of our rocks in
the back, with the calmness
and composed leadership she
added to the game. The matu-
rity and strength and passion
for the game and her team-
mates you see now is what she
consistently gave us from the
moment she put on the varsity
jersey.
“Duecker is one of our cap-
tains this year and led on and
off the field. She led effort-
lessly, compassionately and
selflessly. This season, we
talked a lot about winning
each moment and how do we
do that. Duecker, went out
there every moment of the
game, practice, off the field,
leading this team and won
those moments to help make
this one of the best seasons I
can remember.”

all game and let his defense
go to work. He threw strikes
and didn’t allow a runner past
second base. Farrell looked to
be back to his old self in the
eighth and ninth, closing the
door.”
Middleton’s offense
did plenty to give Ross
Hellenbrand substantial
breathing room.
In the fourth inning, Luke
Schafer had a leadoff double,
advanced to third on a single
by Kevin Dubler and scored
on a sacrifice fly to center by
Josh Hinson to give the 29ers
a 1-0 lead.
Alan Roden opened the
fifth inning by reaching sec-
ond on an error by the left
fielder. Farrell’s single moved
Roden to third and Brennan
Schmitt followed with an RBI
single to give Middleton a 2-0
edge.
In the sixth, Farrell’s
two-out, RBI single plated
Andrew Zimmerman and gave
Middleton a 3-0 lead.
The 29ers then broke things
open with a three-run seventh.

the inning, then Schmitt and
Kevin Dubler both singled to
load the bases. Josh Hinson’s
fielders choice scored Schafer,
then Roden’s two-run sin-
gle plated both Dubler and
Hinson to make it 6-0.
In the eighth, Brandon
Scheidler reached on a field-
ers choice, Schafer doubled
to put runners on second and
third, and Scheidler scored on
a wild pitch.
Schafer finished 2-for-

Hinson was 2-for-3 with two
RBI and Farrell was 2-for-3.
Schmitt and Dubler both went
2-for-5.
“Kevin Peternell had us off

Brandon Hellenbrand said
of Ashton’s starting pitch-
er. “But once we were able
to scratch one across in the
fourth, you could see us start
to get some momentum and
we went from there.”
