Golfers win regional title

Submitted by MTT News on Sun, 10/04/2015 - 15:20

It’s been said timing is everything.

Payton Hodson — and Middleton’s girls golf team — most certainly agree.

Hodson, a sophomore, shot a season-best 79 last Wednesday. And that helped the Cardinals win the WIAA Division 1 Portage Regional.

Middleton posted a 324-team score, while Verona was second at 325.

“Payton Hodson really stole the show,” Middleton coach Becky Halverson said. “To have a number five spot come in with a score in the 70’s is amazing. I am so proud of her.” 

Senior Loren Skibba led Middleton with a 76, which was good for second individually. Junior Alexis Thomas added an 82 and was fifth, while junior Morgan Miles shot an 87 and tied for seventh.

But Hodson — who plays in the No. 5 position — was the star on this day.

Hodson made three birdies, stayed out of trouble, and went 40-39 during her memorable performance. Hodson also tied for third individually.

Football Cardinals back in first

Submitted by MTT News on Sun, 10/04/2015 - 14:37

Forget about the past and focus on the present.

After tasting defeat for the first time against Madison Memorial last week, Middleton’s football team effectively turned the page and grinded out a 27-14 Big Eight Conference victory over Madison West last Friday.

“Inside you could tell people weren’t over that loss,” said Cardinals junior defensive back C.J. Fermanich. “I don’t think we should have lost that game and everybody really wanted to come back and get this win especially with Homecoming and just make it all feel better. I think it did.”

Cardinals senior wideout Mitch Bacon agreed.

“We knew we had to move on right away and move on to this game so that’s what we did,” Bacon said. “Obviously, this showed that we didn’t think about it too much.”
