Middleton’s boys sports programs have been some of the best in the state for years now.

And that certainly didn’t change during the 2024-‘25 school year.

Middleton’s boys soccer team and boys swimming teams won state titles. The boys volleyball team reached the state finals, while several individuals either won — or challenged for — state titles.

That made picking Middleton’s ‘Best of the Best’ harder than ever this year. But we’ll give it our best shot.

This week, we’ll honor the boys, and next week we’ll award the girls.

Team of the Year

Eight returning starters.

A sensational 16-person senior class.

Résumés like these don’t appear often.

The City of Middleton’s Finance & Personnel Committee recently discussed a proposal for the City of Middleton to donate the 77,325 sq. ft., $11.4 million Capitol Ice Arena to the ownership of the arena to facilitate improvements.

As temperatures soared into the nineties in Cross Plains, about fifty volunteers braved the heat to attend the town’s second annual Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) bed build. The event was held in collaboration with the Madison West Chapter of SHP, a national non-profit committed to building beds for needy children across the country.
