A Woodside Park swing set, increased utility fees and additional revenue for an expected compensation plan were all included Tuesday during final adjustments in the City of Middleton’s 2026 Budget.

Members of the Middleton Common Council and Mayor Emily Kuhn on Nov. 4 offered assistance to community advocates to deal with an expected loss of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

Middleton’s boys soccer team had another tremendous season.

The Cardinals went 17-4-2 overall, 8-1 in the Big Eight Conference and reached a WIAA Division 1 sectional final. Two of Middleton’s losses were to eventual state champion Madison West and a third came vs. state-runner-up Marquette.

So it was no surprise that the Cardinals landed seven players on the all-Big Eight Conference team.

Middleton sophomore forward Cormac Carlson, senior midfielder Brennan Mauer and senior defender Sean Adzomfoa were named first-team all-conference.

Senior midfielder Yijoon Kang was named second-team all-league, while sophomore midfielder Sully Davis, senior defender Sam Keith and senior keeper JJ Probasco were all named honorable-mention all-conference.

The best boys volleyball team in Wisconsin this season — and arguably the finest in state history — did what you’d expect when it came to postseason awards.

They dominated.

Middleton, which won the state championship with a perfect 39-0 record, landed six players on the all-Big Eight Conference team and placed five on the all-state team.

Senior outside hitter Caden Van Buren was named first-team all-Big Eight Conference, the league’s Player of the Year, and the 2025 state Player of the Year by the Wisconsin Volleyball Coaches Association.
