Orchestra readies to
kick off eighth season
MCO will perform Copland and Dvorak
by MATT GEIGER
Times-Tribune
The Middleton Community
Orchestra is back. In the first
concert of its eighth season on
Wednesday, Oct. 11 at the Mid-
dleton-Cross Plains Performing
Arts Center, the MCO will per-
form Quiet City by Aaron
Copland and Symphony No.
6 by Antonin Dvorak.
The performance of Quiet
City will feature two soloists;
Jessica Jensen on trumpet and
Valree Casey on English horn.
Tickets are $15 and are avail-
able at the door and at Willy St.
Coop West.
I am really excited to be
playing the Dvorak 6th sym-
phony with our orchestra, said
Mindy Taranto, one of the or-
chestras founders. It isnt per-
formed often enough. It has so
many beautiful melodies that
drive everyone to listen to each
other and to make music to-
gether. I am also proud that we
have the talent to play Cop-
lands Quiet City with our very
own soloists. Jessica and Valree
sound amazing.
My co-founder, Larry Bevic
and I feel grateful to have as-
sembled such a talented, like
minded group of musicians who
play for the love of making
music, Taranto continued.
Our audience will love this
concert - it really brings out the
best in the MCO.
Jensen began playing trum-
pet in her hometown of Hor-
tonville, Wisconsin and went on
to earn her Bachelor of Music
from Lawrence University in
Appleton, Wisconsin under the
tutelage of John Daniel.
I started playing trumpet the
summer before 5th grade in my
hometown of Hortonville, WI.
On instrument try-out day, I
tested all of the woodwind in-
struments, Jensen recalls. Be-
fore we left, they encouraged
me to try at least one brass in-
strument. I reluctantly picked
up the trumpet, blew through it
and this horribly loud blart
came out. As a painfully shy
kid, there was something ex-
tremely liberating about the vi-
brancy of a trumpet.
I kept playing, due to two
things, Jensen continued.
One, the extraordinary middle
school band program in Hor-
tonville coupled with the en-

La Follette
by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
There was every reason for
excitement.
Middletons football team
had just defeated Madison La
Follette, 24-6, last Thursday.
The Cardinals notched their
fifth straight win, a victory that
puts Middleton in the drivers
seat to finish second in the Big
Eight Conference.
But afterwards, few of the
powers-that-be in Middletons
camp seemed happy.
Cardinals defensive coordi-
nator Tom Cabalka stewed by
the bench. Middleton head
coach Tim Simon was visibly
upset.
Thats what happens when
the bar is set as high as it is at
MHS.
We just made too many
mental mistakes, Simon said.
Physically, we played fine.
But I think some of our mental
mistakes in the first half kept us
from having a little bit more of
a comfortable lead in the sec-
ond half. Some of the things
that happened shouldnt be
happening in Week 7.
Middleton improved to 6-1
overall and in the Big Eight
Conference and moved into
sole possession of second place
in the league. Middleton is one
game behind league-leading
Sun Prairie (7-0) and finishes
the year with an extremely
favorable schedule.
The Cardinals host Beloit
Memorial (2-5) Friday at 7
p.m., then travel to Madison
East (0-7) on Oct. 13 at 7 p.m.
If Middleton wins out, it
will secure second place in the
league and likely have at least
one home playoff game.
Its definitely my goal. I
want to play here again and get
that extra home game as a sen-
ior, Middleton senior line-
backer Jimmy Frusciante said.
That would be awesome, so
we need to close the season

While the Cardinals were
far from perfect, they played a
solid game against a tight end Connor Hellenbrand

team. What had Middletons

mental mistakes and a turnover

PAGE 10 MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2017

by ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune

Many elite boys soccer pro-

grams from throughout the
Midwest gathered in
Burlington, Iowa, last weekend
for the Go For The Goal
Classic.
And what did Middleton find
out about itself?
That it has a chance to turn
2017 into an extremely memo-
rable season.
Middleton won the high-
level tournament, highlighted
by a 5-3 win over Rock Island
(Ill.) in the championship game.
To win a championship
against quality opponents is
really big in that it gives us a
glimpse of what this team is
really capable of when they all
get on the same page for the
whole game, Middleton coach
Ben Kollasch said. If we can
continue to do that, even in the
more strenuous conditions of
conference games for the next
two weeks, we can really aim
high in the postseason.
Middleton opened the tour-
nament with a 7-4 win over
Normal (Ill.). Derek Waleffe
scored three goals that were all
assisted by Greg Pauly. Drake
Vandermause added two goals,
while Andrew Lund and Isaiah
Williams both scored, as well.
We gave up four easy and
avoidable goals, Kollasch said.
But we stormed right back get-
ting seven of our own.

Middleton then posted a 2-1

The boys state volleyball
tournament remains a month
away.
But a mini-state tournament
took place at Middleton High
School last Saturday. And the
host Cardinals showed they
could be ready for a memo-
rable postseason.
Middleton welcomed 10 of

Cardinal Invite. The host
Cardinals then reached the
championship match before
falling to defending state
champion and No. 1 Sept. 20
Milwaukee Marquette, 25-17,
25-21.
Very proud of what we
accomplished, Middleton
coach Ben White said.
With good reason.
A year ago, Middleton
struggled at its own tournament
and finished 14th out of 16
teams. Not this year, though.
We had the bad taste in our
mouth from last year, White
said, We didnt want to repeat
history.
They didnt.
Middleton went 3-0 in pool
play to move into the champi-
onship bracket. The Cardinals
defeated Fort Atkinson, 21-8,
21-11, rallied past Catholic
Memorial 22-23, 21-16, 15-8,
and defeated Brookfield East,
21-17, 21-19.
In the quarterfinals,
Middleton defeated Muskego,
25-18, 25-13. Middle blockers
Sam Dettman and Brian
Verganz had big games, while
Andrew Lepage, Thomas
Robson and Dylan Griffith all
had strong passing games.
Muskego is big and swing
hard, but they didnt have
much of a match for our mid-
dles, White said. In the after-
noon matches, Brian (Verganz)
really stepped up and showed
that he is one of the top middles
in the state. Andrew ran a great
show and our passing behind
Thomas Robson and Dylan
Griffith allowed us to pretty
much run whatever we wanted.

Middleton met No. 3
Kaukauna in the semifinals and
notched a stunning 25-12, 25-9
win. The Cardinals rolled in the
first game, then Kaukauna
benched its starters for game
two and Middleton cruised.
Our 25-12 win in game one
was probably one of the most
dominant performances we
have had this year, especially
against such a high ranking
team, White said. In Game 2
we took care of business

advanced to the finals of the
Cardinal Invite for the first
time in school history.
In the championship match,
Middleton and Marquette were
tied, 8-8, in the first game. But
the Hilltoppers went on a big
run and notched a 25-17 win.
Marquette built a 10-5 lead
in Game 2 when White took a
timeout.
There was no strategy
being talked about, White
said. It was all about attitude
and the opportunity before us.

aces and eight assists and
Hannah Flottmeyer had six

We did not let them get
into (their) system, Middleton

The Cardinals then went 2-3
overall at Menomonee Falls.
The host Indians defeated
MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE
Either we roll over and let them
win, or we battle and fight the
rest of the way.
Middleton most certainly
battled, trimming the deficit to
18-16. Marquette had too much
firepower, though, and finished
off a 25-21 win.
As I told the guys, after
spotting them a 10-5 lead, we
outscored them 16-15 down the
stretch, White said. We
proved for 30-plus points in a
row that we can more than
compete with them.
Middleton also defeated
Fort Atkinson, 25-16, 26-24,
18-25, 25-17, last Tuesday.
Eagan Peters-Michaud led
Middleton with 13 kills, three
aces and two blocks, while
Avery Krantz had 10 kills.
Verganz had nine kills and two

would like to re-play, Marcos
said.

Harris had five assists and 10

Robson, an all-state libero, and
Lepage, its starting setter.
When you are missing your
two most experienced players
and probably the two most cru-
cial positions in volleyball, you
can expect to have a difficult
contest no matter who you are
playing, White said. Brady
Schmitt and Matt Ballweg both
set for us in the match. Both
played with a high amount of
confidence, which is necessary
at that position.
I really liked Bradys deci- what its like to play on
sion-making in the contest.
Dylan played libero for us and
his passing was outstanding all
day. Our real struggle was
focus and missed serves. We
missed 18 serves on the day
and got destroyed on the serv-
ing game. Luckily our front
row was able to overcome all
the errors and be a presence at
the net. A win is a win and you
move on.
Middleton then toppled
Franklin, 25-15, 25-13, 25-7,
last Friday.
Eagan Peters-Michaud led

I scheduled two
matches on Friday nights this
year because the state quarter-
finals are always played on
a Friday, White said. We
have to have that mentality of
a Friday night, then turn
around Saturday morning and
play again.
We cleaned up the serving
more in this match. We had
great balance on the net as we
had eight players with at least
two kills. It was great to get the
guys playing together again
after about 12 days without
being full strength.

Theres something extra
special about winning your
own invite.
Its in your building, your
fans are juiced and you dont
want to disappoint.
Middletons girls swimming
team held up its end of the bar-
gain and rolled to the title at its
own invite last Saturday. The
Cardinals finished with 400
points to easily outdistance
runner-up Sun Prairie (328) at
the 12-team invite.
This was a really fun meet
for us, as it always is,
Middleton coach Lauren
Cabalka said. We came off a
bit of a roller coaster of a week.
Some ups and downs with
practices and adjusting to the
increased training load we
placed on them, so we really
wanted to end on a good
note.The girls came to the pool
focused and ready to go, deter-
mined to showcase our depth
and our abilities in different
events.
The Cardinals certainly did
that, finishing first in all 10
relay events.
Middletons 200-yard med-
ley relay team of Chiara
Pierobon-Mays, Ally Silvestri,
Gabriela Pierobon-Mays and
Berkley Smith finished first.
The Cardinals quartet of
Hannah Aegerter, Makenna

Cora Mack won the 800-yard
freestyle relay.

muffed the ensuing punt and
the Lancers took full advan-
tage. La Follette marched 38
yards in nine plays, and capped
the drive when West scored
from one yard out to pull the
Lancers within 7-6.
Middleton stretched its lead

capped the drive when he
ripped off a 20-yard touchdown

tion that had Huff lined up at
quarterback.

And the Cardinals 400-yard
freestyle relay team of Chiara

Gabriela Pierobon-Mays,
Hippen, Aegerter, Lawn,
Licking and Mack finished
first.
More than anything, we
wanted to have some fun
before we really dig into the
second half of the season,
Cabalka said. The girls were
able to come together with
some really great relays
happy. We didnt play a very
good half. We didnt play a
very smart half. But to the
credit of our kids, they turned
the page and came out and
played the game we wanted to
play. I was pretty happy how
we played the second half.
With good reason.
Middleton put together a 14-
play, 51-yard drive to start the
second half that ended with a
27-yard field goal by freshman
Sawyer Pertzborn. The seven-
minute march included an eight

was over and the only thing at
stake was pride.
But the last thing Frusciante
wanted was to allow the
Lancers into the endzone. So
when Frusciante intercepted
Wests pass, he and the
Cardinals reacted like they had
won Game 7 of the World
Series.
That was the type of passion
Middletons coaches were
looking for from the start.
I think our team is really
getting our stuff together and
playing together as a team right
now, Huff said. With our
coaches yelling at us all the
time, we had no other choice.
We had to get better. But were
fixing the mistakes and I think
were looking pretty good.

Depth. Talent. Dedication.

Middletons boys cross

The Cardinals rested their
top four runners and five of
their top seven at last

Why, exactly?
Well, Middleton coach
Brian Finnel wanted to deter-
mine his final varsity spots
with the postseason fast
approaching.
Even shorthanded, though,
Middleton proved how danger-
ous it can be, finishing second
overall at the Stoughton Invite.
Stevens Point won the 11-

Fridays(team) meeting with a
varsity squad of six sopho-
mores and one junior, and I
said I really think we should be
aiming for top three with these
four other ranked schools
(Monona Grove, La Follette,
Stevens Point and Sun
Prairie), Finnel said. The
guys looked at me and basical-
ly said, No, we want to win,
we can do it.
Music to my ears. I think
that just gives a snapshot of
how motivated this team is and
they understand that they can
do it.
Roman Ystenes made his
cross country debut for the
Cardinals and was terrific.
Ystenes was in fourth place
with about 1,200 meters
remaining, slipped and dropped
back to eighth, but rallied back
to finish fourth in 16 minutes,
24 seconds.
Hes a super tough kid and
he got up quick, Finnel said.
It took until the final meters of
are in our sectional meet,
Middleton coach Alexa
Richardson said. So it was a
very important race to me,
especially, to see how we lined
up at sectional and where we
need to fine-tune. The only
team from our sectional that
beat us was Stoughton.
Middletons top two runners
Shea Ruhly and Maeve
Gonter did not race due to
illness or injury. But the
Cardinals had several other ter-
rific performances.
Erika Rader finished 18th
overall in 20 minutes, 29 sec-
onds, while Megan Schwartz
was 19th in 20:29. Charlotte
team of Jessica Pientka and
Noor Rajpal finished first in
their flight. Pientka and Rajpal
defeated Madison Wests Katie
Goetz and Camille Vadas, 6-4,
7-5, in the finals.
The Cardinals No. 3 dou-
bles team of Jada Thomas and
Anjleen Kaur also were first in
their flight, defeating Wests
Olivia ODea and Anna
Grutzner, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, in the
finals.
Kai Heineman, Middletons
No. 1 singles player, reached
MIDDLETON TIMES-TRIBUNE
the race, but he finished
fourth.He will be a big part of
the team moving forward.
Braedon Gilles was 10th in
16:45, while Egan Johnson was
12th (16:47), Zach Leffel was
13th (16:48) and Frank
Thornton was 27th (17:17).
Braedon, Zach, Egan and
Frank did an amazing job pack-
ing it up together to start the
race, Finnel said. Frank hung
tough and finished 27th overall
and fifth for the team.
Meanwhile, the trio kept
up the pace and put the heat on
La Follette and (Stevens Point).
That pack was a huge reason
why we finished second on the
day.
Overall, Finnel couldnt
have been happier with his
undermanned and somewhat
surprising group.
Honestly, it was a fantastic
showing by our team on
Saturday, Finnel said. I was Gilles 16:45; 12, Johnson 16:47; 13,
very excited with how well
they performed. This team was
Sue was 22nd (20:40),
Margaret Patterson was 23rd
(20:47) and Elizabeth
Pansegrau was 28th (21:06).
We did not peak for this
race, therefore we did not taper
for this race, Richardson said.
The girls are starting to feel
better, lighter, and more confi-
dent as we go into the champi-
onship part of the season.
I am confident the girls
will all continue to improve as
we start to decrease our
mileage and increase our inten-
sity these next couple of
weeks. Erika Rader, Charlotte
Sue, Iris Ohlrogge, and
Margaret Patterson are all sen-
