Middleton’s girls basketball team finished a memorable year with a trip to the WIAA Division 1 state title game last Saturday, where the Cardinals fell to Bay Port, 50-49. Clockwise, from top: • Middleton head coach Jeff Kind, who notched his 600th career win in the state semifi- nals, talks to his team during a timeout. • Cardinals junior forward Sitori Tanin drives and dishes against a pair of Mukwomago defenders. • Middleton’s fans were all smiles after the Cardinals upset top-seeded Mukwonago in the state semifinals last Friday. • Cardinals point guard Charlotte Dunn was a major reason Middleton reached the state title game for the fourth time in school history.
