As schools’ approach to punishment evolves, former
para-educator says students aren’t held accountable
District officials say they now use a broader ‘menu’ of options when dealing with problematic behavior
BY MATT GEIGER
Times-Tribune
Wrapping students on the
knuckles with a ruler went out
of fashion generations ago, but
the way educators handle prob-
lematic and disruptive behavior
by students continues to change
and evolve.
Now, a former para-educa-
tor at a local middle school has
come forward to allege that
some students are out of control
due to a lack of discipline. The
school district says students are
actually being better served by
new, more nuanced philoso-
phies that prioritize sensitivity
and flexibility over punitive
measures.
According to administrators
in Middleton-Cross Plains,
schools today focus less on
discipline and tests, and more
on time-outs, roleplaying, re-
storing relationships and other
techniques they believe will
help students learn to develop
the interpersonal skills they
need to succeed.
McKenna O’Sullivan, a
former para-educator in the
district, says the changes have
gone too far.
Canstruction results in
Nearly 2,500 votes, through Facebook, Instagram, text and in person, were cast for the Eighth Annual Canstruction Madison
People’s Choice award. The event was held April 23-29 at West Towne Mall in Madison. Hosted by Middleton Outreach Min-
istry (MOM), 17 teams from businesses, churches, schools and organizations around Dane County built giant structures made
of canned goods and packaged food and competed for awards. This year’s theme is “Rock Can Roll.” Read more on page 9.
In a letter sent to local
media outlets and posted on
social media, O’Sullivan, who
worked at Glacier Creek Mid-
dle School for four months ear-
lier this school year, outlined an
array of concerns about staff’s
alleged lack of ability to mo-
tivate students. She said disci-
pline is nearly non-existent and
contended that students are able
to flaunt rules, yell at teachers,
and walk out of class with little
or no repercussions.
O’Sullivan, a 20-year-old
Middleton resident, resigned
from her position at Gla-
cier Creek in April, saying
school-discipline reforms
“have led to a raft of unfortu-
nate results.”
“[T]hey are putting students’
education at risk,” she wrote.
She said the number of stu-
dents requiring assistance from
para-educators “has exploded”
in recent years and that “most
of these students are classi-
fied under the vaguely defined
disability category ‘Specific
Learning Disability.’” O’Sulli-
van said many of these students
have not been diagnosed with
autism, ADHD, dyslexia or
other learning disabilities. She
believes some of them are sim-
ply students who choose to act
aggressively or disruptively, in
part because they know there
will be no negative repercus-
sions.
“[T]eachers and other school
personnel cannot respond ef-
fectively when these students
behave poorly - that is, when
these students unexpectedly
run out of classrooms, wander
the hallways rather than attend
class, swear at teachers, hit
them, and even bring cannabis
to school and hand it out to
other students,” she wrote.
O’Sullivan went on to detail
a variety of specific instances
in which she felt educators
enabled unruly students rather
than actively correcting their
behavior.
“Teachers continually enable
poorly behaved students, be-
cause there is nothing that they
can do to discipline them,” she
wrote.
Two administrators, Jerry
Nicholson, director of student
services, and Ken Metz, princi-
pal at Glacier Creek, addressed
some of the issues raised in a
subsequent interview with the

OWI Charges Pending in Crash

On April 27 at approximately 3:28 p.m.,
Dane County Sheriff’s Office deputies, along
with units from Waunakee EMS responded
to STH 19 at River Road, in the Town of
Westport for a report of an injury accident.
An early investigation indicated that a vehi-
cle was eastbound on STH 19, when it crashed
into another vehicle driven by 52-year-old Mar-
vin Pratt, of Madison, who was attempting to
cross STH 19 but failed to yield to the stop sign.
The female driver of the vehicle trav-
eling eastbound on STH 19, age 65, re-
fused EMS care, while Pratt and a female
passenger were transported to UW Hospital
with serious, but non life threatening injuries.
He was cited for failure to yield the right
of way. Charges are pending against Mar-
vin Pratt for 4th offense OWI causing injury.
One lane of STH 19 at River Road
was closed for approximately one hour
while deputies investigated the crash.

it got him thinking.
“We are living in a time

“While I was optimistic for the

“Despite that 85.7 percent

about the state of public edu-
cation: Waiting for Superman.
The keynote at the Acad-
emy was by a “Superman,”
Michael Johnson, the president
and CEO of the Wisconsin
Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs. His
is an inspiring story of a man
who willed himself out of the
Chicago ghetto, thriving when
most of his friends and class-
mates died before adulthood.
He is an example to us all of
the power of will, of persever-
ance, and of taking an organi-
zation to a better place through
personal leadership and vision.
But Michael is the problem.
Well, Michael isn’t, but what
his story represents is. It is the
excuse for the rest of us to say
“well, I can’t do that–we need
more people like Michael!” We
just wait for another superman.
But when telling his story, Mi-
chael touched on a moment in
his personal history that reso-
nated with me. Michael was a
rough kid in the Cabrini Green
ABLA Homes projects of Chi-
cago, flirting with gangs, drugs
and trouble, when he was given
a job by a Greek American gro-
cer. This man took an interest in
the young Michael Johnson and
showed him a world foreign to
the young Michael, a standard,
Chicago middle class neigh-
borhood. He gave him work.
He then showed him a college
campus. And from that simple
connection, Michael made the
decision to work for something
better, getting himself into
school, then an MBA, then the
position as executive director.
So, while Michael may be
our local “superman,” and the
keynote speaker for this past
Leadership Academy, the hero
in Michael’s story was just
a simple grocer who cared
enough about an employee
to show him a better future.
THAT is the type of leadership
we ALL can achieve. Men-
toring at the schools (or the
Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs), run-
ning for any level of political
office, joining not-for-profit
boards or volunteer commit-
tees, showing up and helping
in community events, bring-
ing food to a neighbor, any of
these show that you care about
your community and each indi-
vidual in it. And who knows?
You may be creat-
ing the next Superman.

TOWN OF MIDDLETON

Elementary School to add building

BY KEVIN MURPHY
Times-Tribune
MIDDLETON–The Middle-
ton-Cross Plains Area School
District is seeking approval
this week for a two-classroom
building that would be a tem-
porary solution to anticipated
overcrowding this fall at West
Middleton Elementary School.
The 28x70 ft, single-story
structure would be built ad-
jacent to the school and was
under consideration Wednes-
day by the town of Mid-
dleton Plan Commission.
The school board and ad-
ministrators approved the esti-
mated $173,900 project at the
April 9 board meeting. The
project addresses immediate
space needs for the school lo-
cated along West Mineral Point
Road until plans for a perma-
nent facility are developed,
according to information sup-
plied to the Plan Commission.
District staff identified a two-
year lease for a similar building
would cost $154,057. The board
apparently rejected that option
as the two new classrooms
could be converted to a storage
facility once the school’s long-
term enrollment needs are met.
The new classroom build-
ing would be constructed with
vinyl siding and a shingled
roof, according to information
supplied to the commission.
The commission was to
consider a site plan review of
the school property Wednes-
day. Their recommenda-
tion will be forwarded to the
town Board of Supervisors,
scheduled to meet on May 7.
In addition to a building permit,
the project needs permits from
Dane County for erosion con-
trol, storm water management,
and a health sanitary permit.
A parking lot addition is
also planned to provide over-
flow parking for large school
events as no parking is al-
lowed on Mineral Point Road
The number of parking stalls
would be increased from 127
to 175, which is 113 more than
required by county ordinance.
Two rain gardens would
be built near the new build-
ing and a bioretention basin
would be construction along
the south side of the proposed
parking lot to control and fil-
ter storm water runoff. The
building would be connected
to water and sewer lines.
The overflow parking lot
would be lit by four 20-foot-
tall poles with 100-watt
LED fixtures that match ex-
isting poles and fixtures.
The school district wants
to begin construction of the
1,960-square foot building
on June 11 and complete
the project by August 31.
Calls to district officials
about the school’s current and
projected fall enrollment figures
for West Middleton Elementary
were not returned by deadline.

aware of a Facebook post that
you did on your FB page on
April 12th. This Facebook post
is in violation of the federal
FERPA [Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act] re-
quirements per our attorney re-
view,” Gundrum wrote. “This
post must be removed from
your Facebook post no later
than 8 a.m. tomorrow morning.
Please reply to this message to
confirm that you have taken this
post down and we will have
that information verified. If
this post is not removed by that
time, the District’s attorney will
be in touch with you regarding
this violation.”
O’Sullivan removed the post,
but she told the Times-Tribune
in a follow-up interview that
her concerns persist. She said
she was careful not to name
specific students in her letter,
and she felt she avoided pro-
viding information that would
identify them individually.
O’Sullivan said she had a
good working relationship with
most teachers and students. In
fact, she said some other educa-
tors feel equally frustrated and
they advised her to go public
with her concerns.
“It’s not like I think they
need harsh disciplinary plans,”
she said. “It’s just that right
now, there’s nothing … no
after school detention, and kids
actually want to be sent to the
office because it’s just a way to
get out of class.”
“These kids have no motiva-
tion to do anything,” she con-
tinued. “There should be some
sort of outcome. They’ve just
given up. They aren’t taking
notes. Paras are expected to do
all their work for them. They
aren’t learning at all.”
“Some kids have gotten to
the point where they think they
can do anything,” she added.
“Something that might work is
if they were made to stay after
school for 20 or 30 minutes …
if they swear in the halls or yell
at their teachers.”
Metz and Nicholson agreed
that the way students are taught
has changed dramatically in
recent years. But they said the
changes are making schools
safer places to learn, and they
believe they are giving stu-
dents vital skills that can’t be
obtained through testing and
detention alone.
They say they are working to
help students develop “self es-
teem and self concept,” and that
the old “sit and get” method of
teaching is demonstrably lim-
ited.
Students now receive “move-
ment breaks,” for example, so
that they don’t have to sit in one
place for too long.
It’s all part of a larger debate
about the best way to prepare
students for the world that will
greet them when they move
on to adulthood. That world
is evolving, too, so it can be a
moving target.
“I would say all schools are
grappling, not just ours but
around the state, with a diver-
sity … of needs,” said Nich-
olson. He went on to say that
public education used to focus
far too narrowly on segregating
special educations students and
meeting problematic behaviors
with punishment.
He said there is “a greater
understanding” of what stu-
dents need to thrive today, and
the district’s responses “should
reflect that.”
Metz said Glacier Creek is
working to create a model that
is “as inclusive as possible.”
“Think of it this way, if a
student has a deficit, let’s say
in math, we don’t pull them in
and discipline them,” he said.
He said that good conduct and
behavior are skills, just like
math and literacy, that can’t be
taught through a primarily pu-
nitive approach.
“We have a menu of op-
tions,” said Nicholson. “Dis-
cipline is one of the options; it
can’t be the only one.”
A parent of a middle school
student in the district, speaking
on the condition of anonymity,
said he believes the schools’
evolving philosophy regarding
discipline is well intentioned,
but he also believes the changes
might frustrate some educators.
“Everything [O’Sullivan]
said is probably true,” he stated.
“And the district is probably
caught between a rock and a cluding those society has failed.

CROSS PLAINS NEWS

Cross Plains Village
Board talks projects,
comprehensive plan
BY BRENDA SCHULTZ
Times-Tribune
CROSS PLAINS–New Cross
Plains Village Board members
Kevin Thusius and Jeanne
Statz weighed in on discussions
regarding the County Highway
P Reconstruction Project,
possible changes to the
Village’s Comprehensive Plan,
and contract award for the 2018
Zander Park Trail Expansion
(south section) at the board’s
April 23 meeting.
Tom Stetzer of Strand
Associates reached out to a
dozen possible contractors for
the Zander Park Expansion
project resulting in the lowest
bid submitted by Janke
General Contractors totaling
$556,314.00. This is a bit above
the estimate but still within the
budgeted amount. Mr. Stetzer
stated that those familiar with
Janke’s Bayfield project spoke
well of the business.
Mike Axon, Parks and
Recreations Director stated
that discussions are still in
progress regarding the type
of railroad signals that will be
used: flashing lights, or a stop
sign. The board unanimously
approved the contract to be
awarded to Janke.

Executive Director, stated that
the Highway P Reconstruction
Project is right on schedule
despite the late snows. He
added that they could possibly
be ahead of schedule by
mid-May. He recommended
increased enforcement of
construction detours. An
invoice for $232,298.75 from
A-1 Excavating for the work
done thus far on Highway P
was unanimously approved.
Mike Slavney, Cross
Plains Village Planner from
Vandewalle & Associates,
brought before the board two
development projects that
have requested updates on the
Future Land Use Map. These
updates will be paid for by the
respective developers.
The owner of the north
half of the quarry would like
to sell it to the Scenic Valley
Subdivision. This will allow
for additional single-family
housing, an extension of an
existing bike trail, and the
placement of mini-warehouses
on the floor of the quarry.
This developer has already
submitted a plat.
The other project, on east P,
is not quite as well-defined at
this time. It includes potentially
extending the cemetery, but
also to possibly include a
neighborhood consisting of 10
percent two-family dwellings,
15-20 percent multi-family
dwellings, and the rest single
family dwellings.
A public hearing before the
Board and Plan Commission
will take place sometime
in June to make a decision
regarding these proposed
projects.
Unanimous Board approval
was given for Resolution #03-
2018 for the adoption of a Public
Mohawk Scout District recognizes

proposed Comprehensive Plan

few small business can say
they have lasted 30 years,
but the Architectural firm,
Zingg Design, Inc. is one
of them. On April 11, the
company will celebrate 30
years in business, and own-

that his passion for design
and desire to owner his own
company are part of the
reason for that longevity.
“I was lucky!” he ex-
claimed, and added that part
of his success was “I really
enjoy it. It isn’t like work for
me, and I try to instill that
in my employees as well.”
Zingg has built a varied
portfolio over his career, in-
cluding retail and commer-
cial properties, showrooms,
health clubs homes and of-
fices. “Some of the building

lost about half of its staff
and 90 percent of their
business during this time,
but somehow persevered.
Today Zingg works with
Sub Zero Wolf dealers to
design Living Kitchens for
the company. The show-
rooms designs are displayed
in both the US and Canada.
“I do bigger projects
for Sub Zero, too. They
have test kitchens that of-

From Laura Love, Director of Secondary Education:

“When I think about the music education taking place in

our district it amazes me. Every classroom I visit, concert
or musical I see, impresses me. Maybe more important
are the smiles on students’ faces when they take on chal-
lenging music and perform it well after a great deal of
teaching, learning, and practice. Finally, I appreciate the
work done by teachers to engage students who may not
otherwise have the opportunity to take lessons and find
their joy in music outside of school.”

From District Music Teachers:

“Music reaches and teaches in a uniquely powerful and joyful way, bringing together and empowering people of
all cultures and backgrounds.” – John Becker, Sauk Trail Elementary/Kromrey Middle School Music Teacher

“I am so thrilled to have groups of students who come to the band room to practice at lunch time--it has become a
FAMILY!!!” – Anne Vanderbloemen, Glacier Creek Middle School Band Teacher

“We help students to move past the mundane so they can learn the aesthetic.” – Michael Vervoort, Middleton

“The Kromrey Middle School Band provides endless opportunities for an eager community of learners to grow a
lifelong love of making music.” – Kimberly Reynolds and Darlene Coughlin, Kromrey Middle School Band Teachers

Golfers in
a groove
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Middleton’s boys golf team
has jumped to No. 7 in the lat-
est Wisconsin Golf Coaches
Association of Wisconsin
poll.
And there’s a good reason
for the Cardinals’ lofty perch.
Middleton is playing some
awfully good golf.
The Cardinals had a terrific
week, highlighted by a first-
place finish at the 10-team
Singh Grewal Invite at River
Run Golf Course in Sparta last
Saturday. Middleton also fin-
ished in a tie for second place
at 12-team Morgan Stanley
Shooutout held at University
Ridge last Thursday and took
fifth at the 16-team Edgewood
Invite held at Blackhawk
Country Club on April 23.
In addition, the Cardinals
won the Janesville Craig
Triangular on April 24 and
finished first at the Beloit
Memorial Triangular Monday.
Baseball Cards hanging tough
Middleton
plays well in
busy week
BY ADAM HATLAN
For the Times-Tribune
Four conference games in
five days can test a high school
baseball team, especially play-
ing in the ultra-competitive Big
Eight Conference.
That was the case for the
Middleton Cardinals last week,
as a slew of snow and rain-
outs to start the year has led
to a schedule with very few
days off.
Middleton capped off its
jam-packed week of Big Eight
opponents in a strong way on
Friday, as it used an eight-run
fifth inning to cruise past host
Madison Memorial, 11-1, in
five innings.
Middleton went 3-1 in the
conference during the week,
beating top-ranked Janesville
Craig and splitting two games
with Verona. They also split
a non-conference double-
header with visiting Bay Port
Saturday.
The Cardinals are now 8-4
overall and 5-2 in the Big
Eight, 1 1/2 games behind
league-leading Sun Prairie.
“It was nice to go 3-1
during the week. We definite-
ly had 4-0 within our reach,”
“The guys are getting there,
but we have to really work
at turning our doubles into
bogeys,” Middleton coach
Tom Cabalka said. “Teams
that do that are the good teams
in the state.”
There’s no question that
Middleton is proving to be
one of the state’s elite teams.
The Cardinals — like
teams everywhere — have
been forced to pack a full
season into a month due to the
brutal weather in April. That’s
meant Middleton’s lineup has
been in flux, as Cabalka wants
to make sure his players don’t
miss too much school.
Even with Cabalka rotating
his golfers, the Cardinals have
been remarkably consistent.
At the Singh Grewal Invite,
Middleton fired a 324 to easily
outdistance runner-up Tomah
(339). Sophomore Carson
Frisch led the Cardinals with a
79, while senior Andy Zucker

said Middleton manager Tom
Schmitt. “We were looking for
4-0 to stay right in that (con-
ference) race. We’re still in the
race and that’s the main thing.
We’re getting better and play-
ing more consistent ball.”

before.

Offense and plate disci-

big eight-run fifth inning for
Middleton, as it sent 14 batters
to the plate and had five walks

Brady Schmitt was very effi-
cient in the mercy-rule-short-
ened game. The lefty Schmitt
allowed one unearned run on
five hits, struck out five and
didn’t walk a batter in the com-
plete game.
“It’s a little easier to pitch
(with a big lead), but you’ve
got to pitch the same as if you
have a one-run lead,” Brady
Schmitt said.
Schmitt, who did not bat in
the game, had to wait around
20 minutes between pitches
during the lengthy top half of
the fifth inning, but was able to
come out in the bottom half to
close out the game.
“(I) did some running
between innings, played a lit-
tle catch,” chuckled Schmitt
on staying loose during the
fifth-inning offensive barrage.
A two-out double in the first
inning by Luke Ballweg led
to the first run for Middleton.
Ballweg came around to score
after Schulz reached on an
error by the Memorial second
baseman.

jump up to No. 5
Middleton has another solid week
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
The Big Eight promises
to be one of deepest, most
competitive girls soccer con-
ferences in the state this sea-
son. And Middleton survived
a tough stretch of games last
week.
The Cardinals defeated
rival Madison West, 1-0, last
Tuesday. Middleton also tied
Janesville Craig, 2-2, last
Thursday.
The Cardinals then played
three games at the Tournament
of Champions in Burlington,
Iowa last weekend, going
0-1-2 in those.
Middleton is now 3-1-3 and
ranked No. 5 in the state.
Middleton’s win over
Madison West was definite-
ly the highlight of the week.
Lexi Schultz scored in the 31st
minute on an assist from Tyler
Wilson for the game’s only
goal.
“This game is always a
tough game because of our
past histories of knocking each
other out of the postseason,”
Middleton coach Mary Duffy
said.  “And this game didn’t
disappoint the crowd looking
for a good game of soccer.
“It was a back and forth
game with one team dominat-
ing for a bit and then the other
would take over.”
West dominated at the
outset, but the Cardinals
held off the Regents’ charge.
Middleton then control in the
middle portion of the game.
On the Cardinals’ goal,
Middleton’s forwards attacked
and Wilson drew the attention
of the keeper. Wilson then
fed a wide-open Schulz, who
converted from five yards out.
Middleton keeper Caroline
Powers had a tremendous
match with five saves, includ-
ing a couple of the highlight
variety.
In the first half, West had a
breakaway that Powers stopped
with her feet. Moments later,
with West back on the attack,
Powers gathered the Regents’
rebound attempt.
In the second half, West
had undefended shot at the top
of the box following a corner
kick. Powers sprung for a full
out dive and tipped the ball out
of danger at the last second.  competition, the team bonding
“The shot looked like a
goal from our angle and West
was already celebrating,”
Duffy said. “Powers came out
of nowhere to end that charge.
Even the West coach gave a

‘great save’ to our coaches
immediately after it occurred.”
Two nights later, Middleton
and Janesville Craig played to
a 2-2 tie. The Cardinals led,
2-1, but the Cougars scored
the equalizer in the 65th min-
ute.
“Even though we tied, it
kind of felt like a loss,” Duffy
said. “We didn’t come out
strong in the first half and
Craig came out poised, orga-
nized and disciplined. We
looked flat-footed and with
Craig’s speed up top, it was a
lot of running back.”
Craig led, 1-0, at halftime.
But Middleton’s Caitylnn
Owens scored in the 51st and
58th minutes on assists from
Victoria Bunz.
But the Cougars got the
equalizer in the 65th minute.
“We stopped most of
Craig’s second half attack,”
Duffy said. “However, Craig
was able to sneak one more
goal in before the end of the
game to tie it up.”
The Cardinals then head-
ed to the Tournament of
Champions in Burlington,
Iowa. In Middleton’s first
game, it tied Lee Summit
(Mo.), 1-1.
“The conditions were great
and even after a four-hour bus
ride, the girls were ready to
play,” Duffy said. “We started
well, which was a problem in
the West and Craig games.  bench came in handy with
“The defense did a great
job slowing their attack. We
were strong in the air, cutting
off angles and we looked to
spread the offense on the wing
space to move the ball up
together as a team.”
The Cardinals did all of
that and took a 1-0 lead when
Emily Raisleger scored off a
free kick from 35 yards out of
the box.
“From the second half of
the Craig game on, Raisleger
had a great weekend,” Duffy
said.  “She dominated the
central midfield and defense
and helped with three out of
the four goals we scored this
weekend.”
Emily Gehrke played well
in her first game in goal this
season. But Lee Summit got
the tying goal in the second
half.
“I enjoy this tourney for the
opportunities, but also it gives
our large bench a chance to
play and show their skills,”
Duffy said.  “And this is what
we were able to accomplish.

the team really stepped up this
tournament and played well
from defense to forward.”
Middleton followed with a
1-1 tie vs. Dunlap (Ill.).
Dunlap scored early in the
second half and held onto that
lead through most of the game. 
Middleton dominated the
game, but simply couldn’t
finish. Finally, the Cardinals
got the equalizer when Anna
Mintz converted from 25 yards
out over the keeper’s hands.
In all, the Cardinals had a
bevy of solid performances. 
“Gehrke made an amazing
second half save to tip the ball
in a swirling wind to hit the
cross bar and then for a diving
save to smother the ball so
there was no second chance
shot,” Duffy said.  “Emma
Schuster and Lauren Hafeman
had great games on the out-
side wing space, and at one
point, swept the ball off the
goal line when Gehrke came
out to block a breakaway that
unluckily rebounded off a
player and back towards our
net.”
On Saturday, Middleton
dropped a 4-2 decision
to Batavia (Ill). It was the
Cardinals’ fourth game in 48
hours and it showed.

banged up,” Duffy said.  “But
we had some good moments

Danielle Martin notched
Middleton’s first goal with a

half Raisleger free kick, as
well. 
However, the Cardinals
allowed a season-high four
goals and suffered their first
loss.
“It was a solid showing for
the team,” Duffy said.

Tennis Cardinals keep on rolling
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
They could have sulked.
They could have pouted.
Instead, they bounced back
in impressive fashion.
Middleton’s boys tennis
team fell to Verona, 5-2, in a
critical Big Eight Conference
meet last Thursday. Instead of
moping, though, the Cardinals
came back and went 3-0
last weekend at the Verona
Invitational.
Middleton is now ranked
No. 4 in the latest WIAA
Division 1 poll.
“The team rebounded
quickly and came together
for the weekend,” Middleton
coach Kalla Schaefer. “Many
coaches have been saying
how close so many Wisconsin
teams are. A lot of wins come
down to players gritting it out
or keeping their composure in
close matches. It makes for a
suspenseful and exciting sea-
son.”
Here’s a recap of
Middleton’s extremely busy
week:
• Middleton 7, Janesville
Craig 0 — The Cardinals
rolled past the visiting Cougars
last Tuesday.
Middleton posted straight
set wins at every flight and lost
just seven games in singles
play and five in doubles action.
• Verona 5, Middleton 2
— The host Wildcats swept
all four singles matches and
notched a big conference win
over the Cardinals.
Middleton’s wins came

Adam Schiebler at No. 2 dou-
bles, and Gene Kim and Alton
Yan at No. 3 doubles.
• Middleton 5, Nicolet 2
— The Cardinals won three of
four singles flights and two of
three doubles matches and top-
pled the fifth-ranked Knights.
“It was big to get a win
against Nicolet,” Schaefer
said.
Middleton’s Ryan Gold
notched a 6-0, 6-1 win at No. 1
singles. Kunwarjit Singh rolled
to a 6-0, 6-4 win at No. 4 sin-
gles and Nitin Somersandaram
cruised to a 6-0, 6-0 win at No.
4 singles.
Middleton’s top doubles
team of Sam Dettman and
Rafael Sanga pulled out a
hard fought 6-4, 6-4 victory
over Jaden Aranda and Ridley
Aranda. And Middleton’s No.
3 team Kim and Yan notched a
6-2, 6-4 win over Sam Chester
and Chris Hellman.
• Middleton 7, Sheboygan
North 0 — The Cardinals
rolled, losing just three games
in four singles matches and
eight games in three doubles
contests.
• Middleton 5, Green
Bay Notre Dame 2 — The
Cardinals earned wins in all
three doubles matches and
downed Notre Dame.
Gold and Somersandaram

Rough week for softball Cards
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
It was a week that Middleton
girls softball coach Perry
Hibner joked, “took 10 years
off my life or added 100-plus
gray hairs to my head.”
Yes, it was a rough week for
the Cardinals.
Middleton dropped lost five
of six games and fell to 4-7
on the year and 3-5 in the
Big Eight Conference. Making
matters worse is the Cardinals
are without freshman pitcher
Ellie Buza indefinitely.
Buza, who had offseason
back surgery, strained a muscle
in her back in mid-April. In
the last nine games, Buza has
pitched just one inning.
“It’s tough not having Ellie
available, but her long-term
health is far more import-
ant,” Hibner said. “Hannah
(Edington), Charlotte (Sax)
and Emily (Ross) have done
nice work, but it hurts to lose a
pitcher who can throw 55 mph
and has four- to six pitches she
can throw for strikes. We will
just keep plugging along.”
Here’s a review of the
Cardinals’ week:
• Madison Memorial 12,
Middleton 2 — The Spartans
scored eight runs in the first
inning and rolled past the
Cardinals in the first game of
a doubleheader last Tuesday.
Isabella Curtin had two dou-
bles and drove in four runs for
Memorial.
A double, a walk and a dou-
ble to center by Curtin gave
Madison Memorial a 2-0 lead.
The Cardinals looked like they
might escape further damage
when freshman Charlotte Sax
struck out Anna Arnoldussen
with the bases loaded for the
second out. However, two
walks, two singles and another
double by Curtin pushed the
lead to 8-0.
“I was proud of how
Charlotte responded to a very
tough first inning, but we also
can’t walk three batters in an
inning,” Hibner said.  Swanson (BM) 2x4, Parente (M) 2x3.
Junior Ashley Bindl had two
doubles for Middleton, includ-
ing a shot to left field in the
seventh inning to score fresh-
man CC Hiorns, who led off
with a single. The Cardinals’
other run came in the second
when sophomore Katelyn Graf
singled to right with one out to
score senior Sophie Schafer,
who led off the inning with a
double to left.
“We continue to struggle
to bunch hits together and to
consistently hit the ball hard,”
Hibner said.
• Middleton 7, Madison
Memorial 5 — Freshman
Olivia Hebert hit a two-run
home run to center as part of
a four-run seventh and junior
Rachael Roberts had four
hits as the Cardinals beat the
Spartans in Game 2.
Middleton took a 1-0 lead in
the second on Roberts’ two-out
double to right, which scored
Hiorns, who led off the inning
with a walk. The Cardinals
pushed the lead to 3-0 in the
third on back-to-back home
runs by Bindl to center and
Jessica Parente to left with one
out. 
“Ashley just crushed it,”
Hibner said. “She has really
good power and she did a great
job of not getting out in front.
Jessica is also such a great hit-
Olivia Hebert and Middleton’s girls softball team will look to get back on track this week.
ter that even when she doesn’t
hit it perfectly she can take it
the other way and hit it out, like
she did in this case.”
The Spartans closed within
3-2, but the Cardinals respond-
ed in the seventh. Parente led
off with a walk and scored on
Hebert’s home run.
Hiorns walked, advanced
to third on back-to-back
wild pitches and scored on
Edington’s single to left. Beth
Young ran for Edington and
advanced to second on a wild
pitch and third on a groundout
by Schafer before scoring on
Roberts’ single to center.
Madison Memorial made
things interesting by scoring
three runs with two outs in the
seventh before Edington got
Haley Pitman to fly to Brianna
Buss in center to end the game.
Edington, who made her
season debut, overcame six
walks and threw 103 pitches in
the complete game.
“I was really proud of
Hannah for taking the ball and
gutting out the entire game,”
Hibner said. “We’re going to
need her to throw a lot of
innings. She doesn’t throw the
hardest, but she just needs to
keep mixing up her locations,
hitting her spots and keeping
hitters off-balance with her
changeup.”
• Beloit Memorial 3,
Middleton 2 — Brynn
Swanson pitched a three-hitter
and Hannah Sirechi had three
hits and drove in a run as the
Purple Knights edged the host
Cardinals.
Parente homered for the
Cardinals and also drove in
Bindl with a double.
“Beloit played really
good defense, but we didn’t
put much pressure on them,”
Hibner said. “Swanson is one
of the harder throwers in the
Big Eight but we still should be
able to muster more than three
hits. ... Hannah and Charlotte
pitched pretty well and gave us
a chance but we just do enough
at the plate.”
• Sun Prairie 11, Middleton
2 — Parente homered for a
third consecutive game, but it
wasn’t enough for Middleton.
Times-Tribune photo by Mary Langenfeld
“Sun Prairie looked and
played like the No. 3 team
in Division 1 in the state and
we didn’t,” Hibner said. “They
made us pay for every mistake
we made, which is what really
good teams do. We also didn’t
do the little things — run the
bases well, hit cutoffs, commu-
nicate — and we paid the price.
“What was most disappoint-
ing is Sun Prairie didn’t even
use their ace (Maddie Gardner)
yet we still struggled at the
plate. We aren’t going to beat
many teams, like alone a team
of the caliber of Sun Prairie,
with four hits.”
• La Crosse Central 10,
Middleton 7 — Parente,
Schafer and Roberts com-
bined for 11 hits and drove
in two runs apiece, but the
host Cardinals lost to the Red
Raiders.
Middleton had 21 hits, but
left 13 runners on base. 
“We can’t leave that many
people on base, especially on a
day when we weren’t as sharp
on the mound or in the field as
we have been,” Hibner said.
“The good news is we hit the
ball pretty well.”
There was a scary moment
in the sixth when Roberts, who
was playing shortstop, had a
line drive hit her above the left
eye. The gash was about an
inch long and was glued shut,
Hibner said.
“Rachael is one tough kid,”
Hibner said. “As scary as it
was, she was more mad that
she got blood on her glove and
that she had to come out. She
wanted to keep playing.”
• La Crosse Central
11, Middleton 5 — Grace
Amundson hit a grand slam
as part of an eight-run third
as the Red Raiders beat the
Cardinals in Game 2 to sweep
the non-conference double-
header.
“The margin for us winning
or losing is so small that even a
couple mistakes can be the dif-
ference,” Hibner said. “It’s not
a lack of effort in most cases.
We just aren’t executing and
doing the little things that great
teams do.”

shot an 81. Both sophomore
Tommy Kriewaldt and senior
Alex Andler carded 82s.
“The Sparta tournament
went well,” Cabalka said. “It
wasn’t a great field of teams,
but our kids played pretty
well on a course that had
just opened and very difficult
rough greens to putt.”
Middleton also tied
for second at the 12-team
Morgan Stanley Shooutout
held at University Ridge
last Thursday. Madison
Edgewood was first with a
308, while the Cardinals and
Waunakee tied for second at
316.
Zucker led the Cardinals
and finished sixth individu-
ally with a 76. Frisch tied
for seventh with a 77 and
Kriewaldt was 10th with a
78. Freshman Jacob Beckman
added an 85.
Middleton also shot a 328
and was fifth at the Edgewood
Invite. Waunakee was first
at 309, while Edgewood was
second at 311.
Zucker led the Cardinals
with an 80 and senior Mitch
Giroux shot an 82. Beckman
and sophomore Kip Sullivan
both added 83s.
“We needed to play a
couple different kids at
Blackhawk, so our score
was not real good,” Cabalka
said. “Same for the Morgan
Stanley as far as players need-
ing to stay in school.”
In addition, the Cardinals
rolled through a pair of Big
Eight Conference triangulars.
Middleton shot a 309
to win the Janesville Craig
Triangular. Janesville Parker
was second at 326 and Craig
was third at 335.
Kriewaldt led the Cardinals
with a sizzling 74, while
Sullivan and Frisch shot 78s.
Zucker had a sold day, as
well, carding a 79.
Then on Monday,
Middleton shot a season-low
306 and won the Beloit
Memorial Triangular at
Krueger Haskell Golf Course.
Sun Prairie was a distant
second at 337, while Beloit
Memorial was third at 373.
Frisch captured medal-
ist honors with a terrific 75,
while Zucker, Sullivan and
Beckman all shot 77.
“Our three sophomores
— Carson Frisch, Tommy
Kriewaldt and Kip Sullivan
— have really stepped up their
game,” Cabalka said.  “They
have proven that they should
be in the top five or six.  Kip Sullivan 78, Andy Zucker
“Andy is finding his game
and his scores are coming
down to where they should
be. Jacob Beckman has been
up and down, but gained some
confidence (Monday) with his
77 at Krueger and he has
proven that he’ll be a player. 
“We really haven’t had all
of our top 5-6 players togeth-
er playing the same round
due to different kids need-
ing to stay in school.  Alex
Andler and Mitch Giroux are
still in the mix, so we’re still
really taking scores to see
who belongs.  It’s still early
as far as number of matches,
but the season is less than

scored on a single by Schulz to
make it 3-0.
Middleton then erupted for
eight runs in the fifth to help
end things.
In the eventful fifth,
Middleton sent 14 batters to
the plate, had five hits and five
walks, loaded the bases three
times, scored three runs off
wild pitches, got an RBI single
from Noah Casali, and got the
exclamation point grand slam
by Schulz.
Memorial starting pitcher
Kyle Jungers was pulled from
the game in the fifth inning
after Casali’s RBI single and
after he failed to record an
out. Jungers took the loss
and allowed five runs (three
earned).
The Cardinals swiped five
bases and only committed one
defensive error in the game.
“Pitching, hitting, base run-
ning, defense: our guys did it
all tonight,” said Tom Schmitt.
“You get an opportunity deep-
er into the game, some of the
pitchers can tire. We were
patient when (their pitchers)
were having control problems.
I like our approach with the
bats right now.”
For Middleton, last week
was just the beginning of a
busy schedule that includes 13
games in 26 days.
Brady Schmitt thinks he and
his teammates are physically
and mentally prepared to take
on the tough schedule.
“This offseason we really
worked hard,” Brady Schmitt
said. “I think we’re in a good
spot to play a lot of games.”
Tom Schmitt said his team
is playing good baseball, and
that makes it a little easier to
get mentally prepared for hav-
ing to play so many games.
“If you’re winning, it’s a
little more fun to get up for
the next game. If you’re losing
those, it’s a little harder,” Tom
Schmitt said. “We have a vet-
eran group of guys, and they’re
playing well. Hopefully we can
keep it going next week.”
• Middleton 8, Verona 5
— The Cardinals pounded out
14 hits and toppled the host
