Middleton will name basketball court after Jeff Kind

Submitted by MTT News on Fri, 06/30/2023 - 09:37

The Middleton-Cross Plains School Board approved a proposal Monday to name its basketball court “Jeff Kind Court.”

Kind, Middleton’s girls coach from 1993-2022, was inducted into the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2018. He compiled a remarkable 578-256 career record and is the sixth-winningest girls coach in state history.

“I am extremely grateful for the honor,” Kind said Tuesday morning. “It is, to me, a recognition, not only of my time and work, but also a commemoration to all the wonderful players, the array of excellent assistant coaches, all the fabulous colleagues and the tremendous support of the school and community who all contributed to our successes over the years.

“There are innumerable memories in that gym for so many people and I feel so fortunate to have been a part of that and just wish to humbly express my gratitude to everyone who contributed to this recognition.”

Senior catcher Wyatt Baird and senior first baseman Alden Cleary were both named second-team all-league, while senior shortstop Hayden Hellenbrand, senior center fielder Jackson Rademacher and freshman second baseman Jackson Guerrero were named honorable-mention all-Big Eight.

Those seven sensational Cardinals helped lead Middleton to the WIAA Division 1 state tournament for the first time since 2016.

“Overall, we had a lot of great leadership on the team this year,” Middleton manager Brent Jorgensen said. “We had a team full of leaders who stepped up and stepped into different roles throughout the season.

Middleton community rallies around Rogeberg

Submitted by MTT News on Tue, 06/27/2023 - 02:16

Rick Vander Sanden broke down and cried.

Hudson Cleary and K.J. Peterson told stories why Brad Rogeberg meant the world to them.

Parents, co-workers and coaching colleagues sang Rogeberg’s praises.

Roughly 65 community members descended on the Middleton-Cross Plains School Board meeting Monday night asking that Rogeberg be re-instated as the strength and conditioning coordinator at Middleton High School.

Rogeberg, a football coach in the district since 1991 and the Cardinals’ defensive coordinator since 2019, was fired from both jobs in the aftermath of a bullying scandal inside Middleton’s football program last season. Rogeberg did keep his job as a Physical Education—Health teacher.

Former Middleton football coach Jason Pertzborn resigned from both his teaching position at MHS and his football job on Jan. 26.

Submitted by MTT News on Thu, 06/22/2023 - 09:12

Middleton’s girls softball team enjoyed a terrific season in which it won 18 games and finished fourth in the loaded Big Eight Conference.
So it seemed fitting that the Cardinals had four players named to the all-Big Eight team.

Freshman catcher Hailey Stroede was named first-team all-conference, while sophomore pitcher Megan Button and junior infielder Mackenzie Zimmerman were named second-team all-league. Freshman infielder Annika Jafferis was also named honorable-mention all-Big Eight.

“It's easy to talk about these four student-athletes. Great players, yes, and even better people,” Middleton coach Brittany Carl said. “All bring those intangibles to the table that really make a program better from the inside out. We're excited to have them all back next year.”

Stroede batted .416 with a .454 on-base percentage. She had a team-high 42 hits, including 16 extra base hits.
