KM rolls by Middleton in regional finals

Submitted by MTT News on Wed, 03/12/2025 - 20:24

WALES — Kevin Bavery stood inside an empty locker room in what was now a completely vacant Kettle Moraine High School.

Bavery’s 19th season as the boys basketball coach at Middleton High School had just ended.

His Cardinals had fallen to No. 1 Kettle Moraine, 66-48, in a WIAA Division 1 regional final last Saturday.

Many years, when the finality of a season arrives, Bavery wonders what could have been. He questions whether his Cardinals should have advanced further in the postseason.

This was not one of those times.

“They were better than us,” Bavery said of the Lasers. “They were just better.”

Indeed they were.

Kettle Moraine showed why it’s the top-ranked team in the state, while improving to a perfect 26-0. Middleton finished its inconsistent season 15-11.

Middleton downs Beloit in regional semis

Submitted by MTT News on Wed, 03/12/2025 - 20:20

The first seven games of the season were a painful endeavor for Middleton’s boys basketball team.

Center Will Garlock was out with an ankle injury. The Cardinals were inexperienced at most positions. And Middleton began the year 2-5.

If there was a silver lining, it’s that Middleton learned to play without the 7-foot Garlock.

The dividends of that were evident in the Cardinals 81-68 win over visiting Beloit Memorial in a WIAA Division 1 regional semifinal last Friday played in front of a raucous, full house at MHS.

Garlock was limited to just 17 minutes due to foul trouble. But the Cardinals didn’t miss a beat, outscoring the Purple Knights by 12 points in the 19 minutes Garlock was on the bench.

Middleton's Goth shines at state

Submitted by MTT News on Wed, 03/12/2025 - 20:16

WISCONSIN RAPIDS — Twelve months ago, a back injury had Aspen Goth on the sidelines more than on a gymnastics mat.

Today, Goth has proven to be one of the top gymnasts in Wisconsin.

Goth, a sophomore at Middleton High School, went to the WIAA Division 1 state individual meet last Saturday at Wisconsin Rapids High School and shined.

Goth finished 14th in the all-around competition and also posted a ninth place finish on the uneven bars, a 10th place finish on the vault and an 11th place finish on the floor.

In all, it was a terrific debut at the state meet for Goth.

“Being that Aspen is only a sophomore, I think this was an exciting opportunity for her to experience the state competition,” Middleton coach Alexis Cairo said. “She was nervous — and rightfully so — but ultimately she put up a good fight.”
