Middleton’s girls softball team paraded around Firefighter’s Park on May 29, proudly displaying the regional plaque they had just captured.
In the wake of the Cardinals’ dominant 7-1 win over visiting Holmen in a WIAA Division 1 regional final, the Cardinals posed for pictures. They savored the moment.
In the midst of the revelry, though, Middleton manager Brittany Carl made one thing perfectly clear.
“We’ve gotten this plaque before,” Carl said. “We ideally want another one a week from today.”
Middleton, the No. 1 seed in its sectional, hasn’t reached the state tournament since 2008. And these Cardinals realize there’s no time like the present.
