Hundreds Turn Out for Public Input on ATC Line
By Michelle Phillips
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–Hundreds
of people from around the area
streamed into Madison Marriot
West to give input on the pro-
posed American Transmission
Company’s (ATC) Cardinal-
Hickory Creek project (CHC).
The sessions, held Nov. 12,
were organized by the Wiscon-
sin Public Service Commission
(PSC) and the Wisconsin DNR.
Attendees at the meetings
could review maps, the applica-
tion for construction of the line
and give input on the environ-
mental impact of the project,
which would potentially run
through the Driftless Area. Staff
from PSC was on hand to an-
swer questions about the project
and the process.
PSC Communications Direc-
tor Matthew Spencer said the
commission welcomes input
from the community. There have
been sessions in Dodgeville and
Middleton with a third planned
in Lancaster. “It’s a great way
for the public to give input, and
public input goes a long way in
an EIS (Environmental Impact
Statement),” said Spencer.
Some of the findings from
the sessions help locate things
City Council Divided on
Water Utility Increase
By Cameron Bren
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–The Middle-
ton Common Council voted
down a proposed change to the
storm water utility which would
increase the tax an average of
$50 per home annually. The
proposal sparked a contentious
discussion and ended with a split
vote from the council which the
mayor broke by voting “no.”
The no vote means some proj-
that the commission may not
already have mapped. For ex-
ample, schools, historic sites,
cultural areas and threatened or
endangered species that might
not have been discovered had it
not been for locals coming for-
ward. One example was a pre-
school near Dodgeville that was
not included on the maps.
Questions from the crowd
included how it would impact
their properties, tourism and
livelihood. There were concerns
about the need for the line, the
impact to the Driftless Area and
whether or not the energy will
stay in the state.
Jeanne Wright and Gail Mor-
ton, both of Mt. Horeb traveled
to Middleton to voice their con-
cerns about the line. Neither
woman has property directly af-
fected by the construction of the
power line, “To me, it’s ‘not in
anyone’s back yard’,” said Mor-
ton. “It would go right behind
the new hotel in Mt. Horeb.”
“We’ve already invested in
tourism to highlight the area,”
added Wright.
The women also questioned
the necessity of the transmission
line. “I don’t think we need it at
all,” Morton stated.
Wright agreed, “They just
ects and staff positions won’t be
fully funded in the 2019 budget
according to city administrator
Mike Davis.
In a memo to the council from
finance director Bill Burns ex-
plained that public fire protec-
tion is the cost of maintaining
water utility infrastructure that
is needed to fight fires including
increased water supply flows and
fire hydrants. The annual cost
is currently $485,243 which is
funded 100% in the city’s general
fund supported by the property
tax levy.
The 2019 budget recom-
mended by the finance commit-
tee includes shifting the method

haven’t really made the argu-

A rural Dane County dairy
farmer, who wished to remain
anonymous said he is not nec-
essarily opposed to the power
line but had some concerns. “I
want to know how it will impact
my property and my dairy busi-
ness,” he explained. “I want to
know how much land I might
lose and if they plan to take it by
eminent domain if I don’t want
to sell.”
ATC has proposed two routes
for the power line, a preferred
route, which would stretch 87.4
miles, and an alternative that
would be 102.7 miles. The line
would stretch from Cassville
to Middleton after crossing the

Girl Scouts Named to Youth Leadership Council
MIDDLETON–The Girl Scouts of Wisconsin
has named 15 girls from across south-central and
southwest Wisconsin to the 2018-19 Badgerland
Youth Leadership Council (YLC).
Among the girls invited to sit on the YLC,
three are from Middleton, Katie Hesselbein,
Emily Ledin and Akshita Pattnaik. The three girls
all attend Middleton High School where Katie is
a senior and Emily and Akshita are sophomores.
Katie is a member of Ambassador Troop 1035;
Emily and Akshita are in Senior Troop 2331.
The girls meet bi-monthly with Badgerland
Girl Scouts CEO Marci Henderson and other
professional staff to discuss topics impacting Girl
Scouts today.
“The Youth Leadership Council is imperative
to our organization,” Henderson said. “Not only
do these girls provide perspective and feedback
about our programming, but they help us under-
stand what girls are facing every day in school, at
home and in the community.”
Henderson adds that by participating in boards
and councils such as the YLC, these Scouts are
embracing and expanding their understanding
of being a G.I.R.L. (Go-Getter, Innovator, Risk-
Taker and Leader), all while directly impacting
other, mostly younger, Girl Scouts across the
Badgerland jurisdiction.
She says their involvement also aligns per-
fectly with the G.I.R.L. Agenda, an initiative by
LOCAL
Girl Scouts of the USA that inspires and prepares
girls and those who care about them to take civic
action.
“The G.I.R.L. Agenda help girls discover
how they can use their voices to create change
for issues they care about,” Henderson said. “At
Girl Scouts, and as part of the Youth Leadership
Council, these high-achieving girls have the op-
portunity to engage in real-world advocacy.”
Additional members of the council are Pey-
ton Barber of Madison, Gabrielle Greenwald of
Stoughton, Sydney Harbison of Beloit, Autumn
Hilt, Rebecca Hose of Beaver Dam, Lizzie King
of Stoughton, Cecilia League of McFarland,
Lauretta Loesch of Sun Prairie, Alexandrea Olson
of Beaver Dam and Morgan Radaj of Whitewater.
The 15 members were selected to the YLC
through a competitive application process open
to all Girl Scouts in grades nine through 12.
Girl Scouts of Wisconsin–Badgerland Council
covers 23 counties in south-central and southwest
Wisconsin, as well as Houston County in Min-
nesota and Allamakee County in Iowa. Its service
centers are in Madison, La Crosse, Janesville and
Platteville. Photo Submitted

Teacher Turnover Data for Wisconsin Flood Victims
By Cameron Bren
Times-Tribune
M I D D L E TO N – D i r e c t o r
of employee services for the
Middleton Cross Plains School
District, Tabatha Gundrum,
presented the most recent staff
turnover data to the board of
education at its regular meeting
on Nov. 5. While teaching staff
turnover hovers around 10 per-
cent year after year, Gundrum
said some support staff are at a
26 percent turnover rate which
she said is concerning.
Overall there isn’t much
change from years before in re-
gard to teachers, besides some
fluctuations as to why people
are saying they are leaving.
Gundrum said she is expecting
more retirements this year but
won’t know for sure until Feb-
ruary.
What she did differently this
year was include more data for
support staff. In the 2017-18
school year 60 support staff
left, while 62 teachers left. She
said that is alarming because
there are about twice as many
teachers as support staff.
Gundrum said para-educators
have the highest turnover rate
in the district at 26 percent.
“That is remarkable and
overwhelming in a lot of ways,”
Gundrum said. “We knew an-
ecdotally that that was likely
going to be our highest area of
turnover but seeing the num-
bers really drove it home.”
The district has been pro-
viding exit survey which has
been helpful in collecting use-
ful data. She noted that they
get more accurate results once
the employees have already left
the district when the survey is
taken.
A committee was formed
for para-educators working
on on-boarding process, Gun-
drum said. The goal is to have
on-boarding process that lasts
through the employee’s first
year and may include mentor-
ing. The committee will be
ongoing and will serve as a
foundation for other employee
groups, she said.
The district has been doing
on-boarding process for teach-
ers for over a decade, Gundrum
said.
“We have not done as thor-
ough of a job with our support
staff and I believe that the data
is really showing that and is a
key reason we need to focus our
efforts in that area,” Gundrum
said.
Board member Bob Hes-
selbein asked if Gundrum had
a chance to compare the data
to similar districts. She said
she has, and that the district is
not unique with turnover rates
about the same in other dis-
tricts.
Hesselbein also asked if
the data included employees’
length of employment. Gun-
drum said it didn’t but was
planning to look into it. She
said anecdotally it seemed to
be newer hires that were more
often leaving.
Board member Annette
Ashely asked if the reasons
for leaving were also similar
to other districts. Gundrum she
is not aware of the reasons for
leaving in other districts, but
she would also be look at data
in other districts.
She said the district doesn’t
pay the highest salaries for sup-
port staff. Though the benefits
are good it is hard to compete
with private companies on sal-
ary.
Gundrum said she was more
worried about new staff leav-
ing than older ones because

USDA Offers Tips for Cooking Turkey
Thanksgiving is right around
the corner, and properly handling
the turkey is important since poul-
try is a source of salmonella. Here
are some tips from the USDA on
how to thaw and cook your turkey.
Thawing Your Turkey
There are three ways to thaw
your turkey safely—in the refrig-
erator, in cold water, or in
the microwave oven. the size turkey that will fit in your
In the Refrigerator (40°F or
below), allow approximately
24 hours for every four to five
pounds, guidelines are as follows:
Four to 12 pounds-1 to 3 days
12 to 16 pounds-3 to 4 days
16 to 20 pounds-4 to 5 days
20 to 24 pounds-5 to 6 days
Keep the turkey in its original
wrapper. Place it on a tray or in a
pan to catch any juices that may
leak. A thawed turkey can remain
in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.
If necessary, a turkey that has been
properly thawed in the refrigerator
may be refrozen.
In Cold Water, allow approxi-
mately 30 minutes per pound as
follows:
Four to 12 pounds-2 to 6 hours
12 to 16 pounds-6 to 8 hours
16 to 20 pounds-8 to 10 hours
20 to 24 pounds-10 to 12 hours
Wrap your turkey securely,
making sure the water is not able
to leak through the wrapping.
Submerge your wrapped turkey in
cold tap water. Change the water
every 30 minutes. Cook the turkey
immediately after it is thawed. Do
not refreeze.
In the Microwave Oven
• Check your owner’s manual for
microwave oven, the minutes per
pound, and power level to use for
thawing.
• Remove all outside wrapping.
• Place on a microwave-safe dish
to catch any juices that may leak.
• Cook your turkey immediately.
Do not refreeze or refrigerate your
turkey after thawing in the micro-
wave oven.
Remember, always wash hands,
utensils, the sink, and anything
else that comes in contact with
raw turkey and its juices with soap
and water.
Roasting Your Turkey
• Set your oven temperature no
lower than 325 °F.
• Place your turkey or turkey
breast on a rack in a shallow roast-
ing pan.
• Use a food thermometer to check
the internal temperature of the
stuffing. The stuffing must reach
a safe minimum internal tempera-
ture of 165 °F.
• A whole, unstuffed turkey is safe
when cooked to a minimum inter-
nal temperature of 165° F as mea-
sured with a food thermometer.
Check the internal temperature
in the innermost part of the thigh
and wing and the thickest part
of the breast. For reasons of per-
sonal preference, consumers may
choose to cook turkey to higher
temperatures.
• If your turkey has a “popup”
temperature indicator, it is recom-
mended that you also check the
Recommended Turkey Cooking Times

14-18 pounds 3 3/4-4 ¼ hours
18-20 pounds 4 1/4-4 3/4 hours
20-24 pounds 4 1/2-5 hours
Use time tables above to determine how long to cook the turkey. All times are at 325º. These times are approximate.
Always use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of your turkey and stuffing. Internal temperature
should reach 165°.

• For quality, let the turkey stand
for 20 minutes before carving to
allow juices to set. The turkey will
carve more easily
• Remove all stuffing from the tur-
key cavities.

some of John’s designs look
more suited for Madison Ave.
The couple, who have been
married and working together
for three decades, spent much
of the last 20 years on the road,
Michelle Phillips-Times Tribune bringing their pieces to juried
art show around the country.
When not traveling they have
a home base, a gallery that of-
fers pieces sold to the public
and a workshop where John
makes pieces for the shop and
does custom design work. Chris
runs the business end and helps
John with designs and choos-
ing stones. Until recently their
gallery called Paoli home, but
after continued water issues in
the old creamery building they
were inhabiting, the Strobels
decided to look for a new spot.
“We just kept coming back
to Middleton,” said Chris. “We
looked at a lot of communities
and we’ve always been patrons
of Middleton.
“One of the things that’s cool
about Middleton is it’s already
established,” added John.
Last week they were in the
process of getting everything
set up in anticipation of their
annual open house, Nov. 16
from 5-9 p.m. The event cel-
ebrates not only their opening
but also their 30th anniversary.
“It’s been a most amazing
adventure, we just had our 30th
anniversary,” said John.
“Thirty years of wedded bliss
and 30 years of business bliss,”
Chris laughed.
In addition to the open house,
the couple will have a benefit
for Occupaws, an organization
that trains service dogs for the
visually impaired. The cause
is near and dear to Chris who
worked in veterinary medi-
cine for 12 years before the
pair decided to make jewelry
their livelihood. All of the pro-
ceed from paw lapel pins and
keychains benefit Occupaws
as will a portion of the jewelry
sales that night.
John said he began making
jewelry as a young man. He had
come to Madison as a bicycle
racer and started fooling around
with jewelry making with his
friend, Brian also a racer, in the
1970s.
“I had already been making
jewelry when I was an early
teen. In 1975 I moved to Ar-
lington Heights and we started
making jewelry in his (Brian’s)
dad’s basement. We were using
old dental casting equipment,”
John recalled. “We did our own
thing for about five years.”
The pair sold some pieces to
a couple of stores and John said
by 1979 or 1980 they decided
it was something they could do

Swimmers hoist gold again

Middleton wins third
straight state title
BY GREGG HAMMILL
For the Times-Tribune
Failing to qualify a relay
team for the state meet would
have been a devastating blow
to most programs.
But Middleton girls’ swim-
ming team isn’t like most oth-
ers.
Instead, the Cardinals used
it as motivation and put on a
dominating display en-route to
their third consecutive WIAA
Division 1 state swimming and
diving chamapionship at the
UW Natatorium last Saturday.
Middleton finished with
249.50 points – 61.5 points
ahead of second-place Ce-
darburg with 188. Sun Prairie
finished third with 170 points
and Verona /Mount Horeb took
fourth with 169 points.
“Certainly you never want
those things to happen and
it stinks, but it was almost
a blessing in disguise,” said
Middleton coach Lauren Ca-
balka. “I think we’re a really
solid, deep team with a lot of
talent and sometimes you can
ride on that. And when that gets
taken from you, then you have
to really show what you’re
made of.”
Middleton, the top-ranked
team in the state, saw its hopes
for another state title put in
peril when its 400-yard free-
style relay was disqualified at
sectionals due to a false start —
meaning the Cardinals would
be without a relay in that race
at state. That left Cedarburg as
a 2.5-point favorite according

Hoping to leave a legacy
Girls basketball team
has great expectations
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Jeff Kind read the book
‘Legacy’ this past offseason.
And Middleton’s girls’
basketball coach immediately
knew what the theme was
going to be for his 2018-’19
Cardinals.
The book tells stories about
champions doing extra, how
they handle pressure and what
their secrets to success are. And
Kind has stressed them all since
beginning practice last week.
Middleton, which opens its
season by hosting Madison
East Friday at 7:30 p.m., now
hopes to create its own legacy
this winter.
“We’ve talked about it before
that you’re trying to leave a
legacy here,” said Kind, who
was recently inducted into the
Wisconsin Basketball Coaches
Association Hall of Fame.
“We’re trying to develop a
culture, maintain some of the
tradition from over the years
and hopefully add to it.”
These Cardinals certainly
have a chance to do just that.
Middleton went 15-8 a year
ago and finished third in the
Big Eight Conference at 13-5.
But the Cardinals have a gifted
nucleus back and hope to
challenge for a league title this
winter.
“It’s going to be a good year,
I can tell,” Middleton junior
forward Sitori Tanin said. “The
conference is going to be really
competitive this year, but I
think we can be up there with
them all and be really high in
the conference.”
Senior post Hannah
Flottmeyer agreed.
“It’s going to be a fun
group,” Flottmeyer said. “It’s
different. I’m the senior and the
leader right now. It’s definitely
a different role I’ve had to
step into, but these girls are
amazing. I’m super excited.”
There’s good reason
for excitement. Middleton
welcomes back six of its top
nine scorers from a year ago
and should have the firepower
to compete for a league title.
The 6-foot-2 Tanin — who
holds offers from six Division
1 schools — figures to lead the
way. Tanin was Middleton’s
leading scorer a year ago at
10.1 points per game and
averaged 14.4 points over her
final five games.
Tanin, who finished sixth at
state last year in the triple jump,
has also improved her outside
game and could be a force from
any spot on the floor.
“Sitori is one that we can
give her the ball and be like, ‘all
right.’ She is a sweet player,”
Flottmeyer said. “She’s very
gifted, but she’s still a great
team player.”
Kind agreed.
“You’ve got a (6-2) girl
that can almost dunk a tennis
ball,” Kind said. “She’s fast
and strong. Great athlete and
she’s just learning how to play,
really.”
Junior forward Karina
Bursac was second on the
team in scoring last year (8.1)
and could also be poised for
a big season. Bursac, who’s
beginning her third varsity
season, has flashed at times, but
needs to develop consistency.
“There have been times
where it looks like she’s the best

“Then there are times she kind

SWIMMERS
to the Wisconsin Interscholas-
tic Swim Coaches Association
(WISCA), which scored the
meet based on sectional times
and seedings.
The news only served as
more fuel for the Cardinals.
“The disqualification was
kind of hard, but I think our
team really thrives off of
stuff like that,” said senior
Makenna Licking. “We have
been through so much as a
team and it has only made our
team closer, so I think that re-
ally helps us work together and
pump each other up. Going in
as the underdog is really moti-
vating for our team.”
Junior Gabriela Pierobon
Mays agreed.
“This team just worked their
butts off for so long, so hard
for this,” Pierobon Mays said.
“It almost ended at sectionals.
We almost let ourselves be de-
feated, but we came back Mon-
day afternoon and then we’re
like, ‘That’s not something we
can control any more, but we
still have a week left. We’re not
going to be defeated, we’re not
going in like we lost.’
“Every single girl on this
team embodied that and it’s
amazing to see all of the girls
that stepped up and moved up,
not just the two points that we
were asked by our coach, but
10 points, 15 points, 20 points.
It was really interesting to see
what our team can do when no
one believes that we can.”
Junior Berkley Smith said
she was proud of how the Car-
dinals responded.
“It happened, it happened
and we moved on from there,”
Smith said. “We couldn’t do
anything about it. We moved
up in all of our other events
and we knew that if we just got
points in our individuals and
everyone moved up two points
then we would make up those
points and we did and I’m so
proud of our team for it.”
The Cardinals’ goal was
to be leading by at least 40.5
points entering the 12th and
final event – the 400-freestyle
relay, which would award 40
points to the winner. Victories
in the 500 freestyle and the 200
relay down the stretch clinched
it as the Cardinals built an in-
surmountable 95.5 point cush-
ion entering the final event.
Senior Hannah Aegerter won
the 500 freestyle in 4 minutes,
55.48 seconds. Aegerter trailed
Abby Carlson of Waukesha
South/Mukwonago throughout
the race, but passed her over
the final 50 yards and cruised
to victory. Aegerter wasn’t able
to compete in the 500 last year
after withdrawing from the sec-
tional meet to receive medical
attention.
“It’s amazing, it’s so sur-
real,” Aegerter said. “I’ve
never won an individual at this
meet. Just to do that on my last
individual I was really moti-
vated to get through that swim.
During it and before it I was
like I want to go out on the best
note that I can for my team and
for myself. That’s what really
kept me going and chugging
along.”
Licking added a third-place
finish in the 500 in 5:03.09.
“Having all of the really fast
swimmers next to you just feels
so good because they’re all so
good and you can really build
off of them,” Licking said.
The team of Pierobon Mays,
Smith, Aegerter and Licking
then captured the 200 freestyle
relay in 1:34.
“The 500, me and Makenna
going 1, 3 that helped us a lot
and then leading into the win
in the (200 freestyle) relay,”
Aegerter said. “I think that’s
where we took off and we
knew we just had to finish out
the backstroke and the breast-
stroke and we were going to be
good.”
Cabalka agreed with Ae-
gerter.
“There was some calmness
after the 200 free (relay) for
sure,” Cabalka said. “And the
girls just kept like one after the
other after the other just doing
what we set out to do. I’d say
by the 500 we felt good.
“They came in here de-
termined and we’ve had this
before where you might get
doubted by the numbers or
seedings in the polls or the ar-
ticles that are written or what-
ever and they just fight for it
and that was kind of our motto
this week. We said we’re going
to fight with everything that
we have, they said they we’re
going to do it for each other
and, man, they were on a mis-
sion. Mission accomplished.”
Smith was thrilled how the
Cardinals all rallied around
each other.
“The team connection and
everyone swims for each other,
not just for themselves,” Smith
said. “That’s how all of our
points add up because we just
want each other to do good.”
Aegerter was also second in
the 200 freestyle in 1:52.36 and
was also part of the 200 med-
ley relay team with Pierobon
Mays, sophomore Ally Silves-
tri and Smith in 1:44.08.
Cabalka said Aegerter, who
has verbally committed to
swim at the University of Illi-
nois, stepped things up at sec-
tionals.
“I’m so happy for her,” Ca-
balka said of Aegerter. “She
overcame a lot to be on this
stage again after what hap-
pened last year and not know-
ing. That’s a huge emotional
battle that you have to fight.
She really battled it all year
and then last week at section-
als all the sudden she came out
guns a blazing like, ‘I’m going
to do this, I can do it.’ That con-
fidence was back, she got over
that hump and then watching
her swim today that was spe-
cial. It was really fun.”
Silvestri earned a runner-up
finish in the 100 breaststroke
in 1:02.41 behind only Verona/
Mount Horeb’s Grace Bennin,
who set a new state record in
the event in 1:00.65. Teammate
junior Alex Anagnostopoulos
added a fourth-place finish in
Ally Silvestri (left), Makenna Licking (far right) and the rest of Middleton’s girls swimming
team won a third straight state title last Saturday.
the 100 breaststroke in 1:04.35.
Silvestri was also fourth in
the 200 individual medley in
2:05.29, followed by Anag-
nostopoulos (14th in 2:08.34)
and sophomore Madelyn Lawn
(19th in 2:10.17).
Pierobon Mays, Smith,
Emily Keebler and Licking all
earned individual podium fin-
ishes while swimming in the
second heats of their events.
Pierobon Mays did it twice
earning fourth-place finishes in
the 100 butterfly in 55.28 and
100 backstroke in 55.78. She
had won the 100 butterfly state
title the past two seasons and
was happy to contribute while
still recovering from shoulder
surgery in late February to re-
pair a torn labrum.
“I won state last year in the
100 fly and I was seeded 10th
(this year) and that really got to
me mentally,” Pierobon Mays
said. “So I was like, ‘what’s
the plan going in to state? But
then we came in on Monday
afternoon and no one was de-
feated, no one felt like they had
already lost, so I was like, ‘I’ve
got to do this for my team.’ I’ve
got to get some points for my
team so I realized that, even if I
don’t achieve my ultimate goal
of winning again, but I still
move up and I still get points
for my team, that’s all that I
care about.”
Licking finished fifth in
the 200 freestyle in 1:53.22,
Keebler placed sixth in the 200
individual medley in 2:05.67
and Smith took sixth in the 50
freestyle in 24.10.
Also for Middleton, senior
Cora Mack placed 13th in the
100 freestyle in 52.93 and
freshman Amanda George was
19th in the 500 freestyle in
5:10.86.
Without a 400 freestyle
relay, Cabalka put together new
200 medley and 200 freestyle
relays and asked some swim-
mers to make sacrifices.
“It allowed us to move our
relays around a little bit which
was a big risk,” Cabalka said. “I
Times-Tribune photos by Mary Langenfeld
mean we swam two relays that
we’ve never swam before. We
had Hannah Aegerter swim on
the medley and she was going
right into the 200 free and then
we had Gabby who stepped up
on the 200 free going right into
the backstroke. They sacrificed
those individual swims essen-
tially to be on those relays and
see what we needed for the
team and that’s I mean, that’s a
team right there.”
Of the three state titles, Ca-
balka said this one may have
been the most challenging.
“Every year is different,
every year feels different,” Ca-
balka said. “This one I think
was certainly the biggest chal-
lenge. There was a lot of new-
ness this year. This team really
didn’t look that much different
than our team last year, but all
of the things we went through
at the end of the season and
the lineup that we put forward
here, it was different.”
Aegerter said this title was
the most rewarding.
“This one is the most memo-
rable and the most rewarding
for us,” Aegerter said. “The
first one was awesome, the first
one we’ve ever won. The sec-
ond one we were seeded not to
win so that was like a step up
from the year before. Then, this
year again, we weren’t seeded
to win, but I feel like it was so
much closer and we all per-
formed so much better and we
were there for everyone a lot
more than we were in the past.”
Cabalka couldn’t have been
more proud.
continued from page 14
“They’re such a good group
of girls and watching them
come together and the atmo-
sphere back here,” Cabalka
said. “The swimming was
great, but the atmosphere that
they created, that’s what won
the meet for us and I couldn’t
be more proud.”

BOYS VB continued from page 15

The Hawks forged ties at
both 22-22 and 23-23. But a
Van Buren kill gave Middleton
possession, and with Griffith
serving, Indian Trail was called
for a double hit that gave the
Cardinals a 2-1 lead.
“I think there were times we
were playing really well and
times we just weren’t playing
our best,” Ballweg said. “But
we felt pretty good when it was
2-1.”
Middleton trailed 20-17 in
the fourth set when it used a 4-0
surge to grab a 21-20 lead. And
for a moment, White thought
his Cardinals had the Hawks
right where they wanted.
“I thought we had it,” White
said. “I really did.”
Not quite.
Indian Trail responded with
three straight points to go
ahead, 23-21. And after Mid-
dleton fought back to tie things,
24-24, the Hawks got back-to-
back block kills from dynamic
middle blocker Edelmar Rivera
to force a deciding fifth set.
There, the teams were tied
2-2 early when the Hawks em-
barked on a 9-1 run to take con-
trol, 11-3. During that stretch,
the Cardinals’ frustration grew
as they saw their hopes slipping
away.
“I think our frustration
started to show at that time,”
White said. “That was prob-
ably the first time I’ve seen all
year where we kind of looked
at each other, a little bit of yell-
ing like, ‘What are we doing?’
And that was the first time this
year I really saw a crack in the
armor.”
Van Buren agreed.
“They just played really well
those last two sets,” he said. “I
don’t know if I can out my fin-
ger on anything. There were
just a bunch of errors on our
part and they made some good
plays.”
Middleton countered with a

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
6-2 run to close within 13-9.
But the early deficit was just
too steep and the Hawks pulled
off the upset.
Despite the loss, the Cardi-
nals enjoyed another memora-
ble year — until they reached
state, anyhow.
“I had a lot of fun,” Ballweg
said. “It was just fun to be the
leader this year and I just re-
ally liked all of my teammates.
I was proud of what they did.”
Added Van Buren: “This
was my favorite year so far.
I’m going to miss the seniors
so much and it was just super
fun.”
Fun seemed to be the key
word for everyone involved
608.233.9938
— until the Indian Trail match,
that is.
“It was a lot of fun and that’s
why this was so disappointing
because this is such a fun group
to be around,” White said.
“Every day there was a lot of
laughter and a lot of fun and we
loved ‘em. They were fun to be
with and that’s why this hurts
so much.”
