The Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District is proud to announce nine honorees for Middleton High School’s Athletics Hall of Fame. Class of 2025 inductees include coaches Ken Burghy, Tom Cabalka, and Jeff Kind; athletes Casey Cramer, Angie (Halbleib) Murphy, Liz (Reusser) Black, and Danielle (Beckwith) Finley; Middleton High School’s 1989 softball team; and supporter Jerry Pulvermacher.
Honorees and their families will be recognized in a pregame reception as well as during halftime at the Cardinals’ homecoming football game at the Borden Athletic Complex on Sept. 19. Inductees’ photos and biographies will be displayed on the Hall of Fame wall at the stadium.
“We have a strong selection committee – including our Athletic Department, head coaches, community members, and alumni athletes – guiding our efforts to recognize the contributions and achievements of Middleton High School’s top athletes, coaches, teams and supporters,“ said Middleton High School Athletic Director Brad Crandell.
This marks the second year Middleton High School has selected Hall of Fame members, following inaugural inductions in September 2024.
“We’re proud to celebrate those who have promoted the growth of our athletics and activities throughout MCPASD’s history,” Crandell said. “The Middleton and Cross Plains communities have been integral to creating Middleton High School’s strong tradition of athletic excellence, and it’s exciting to share our honorees’ stories with the big crowd at our homecoming football game.”
Community members can nominate future inductees as well as see the full list of the 2025 and 2024 honorees on the Hall of Fame website.
