brothers for five recent armedrobberies that ended after the Klinke

Cleaners on N. Gammon Road inMiddleton was held up on Nov. 26.

Madison police had obtained asearch warrant and attached a GPS

two days prior to the Middletonholdup.

State Street robberies that occurredon Nov. 13 and Nov. 18. Police

reported a similar vehicle wasobserved just prior to a Nov. 21

robbery of Klinke Cleaners onOdana Road, according to a search

warrant.Another robbery occurred on

Nov. 14 at Cricket Wireless, 3868 E.Washington Ave.

During the Middleton robbery, aman entered the Klinke Cleaners,

revealed a handgun tucked into thewaistband of his pants, and

demanded money from the femaleclerk, according to the Middleton

Police.

Hurry up, hurry up. Is that all

you got, the stores video and audiosystem recorded the robber saying,

according to court documents.The clerk then gave the suspect

cash from the drive-through windowdrawer. The clerk was ordered to

kneel down and wait five minutesbefore calling the police, according

to Middleton police.The encounter lasted 40 seconds,

according to court documents.Middleton officers and detectives

responded to the scene, assisted byMadison police who brought two K-

9 units.

Madison police, noting the GPSsignal, stopped Ikegwuonos vehicleat University Ave. and Randall St.

and took Jack and ChukwuemekaWilliam Ikegwuono, into custody.

The brothers attended MadisonMemorial High. Jack played

cornerback for the University ofWisconsin Badger football team

from 2005-08, was drafted by thePhiladelphia Eagles and played in

one regular season game in 2009.William Ikegwuono played football

Spain said in a news release.

William told police that Jack en-

tered four of the businesses includingthe Middleton Klinke and that he

waited outside in the vehicle.William also said he entered one of

the businesses while Jack waitedoutside on the sidewalk.

Jack confirmed that he robbed theMiddleton Klinke, according to the

federal complaint. He said he did notpoint the gun at the clerk but she

probably saw the gun tucked into thewaist of his pants, according to the

complaint.A silver revolver, similar to the

one used by the robbery suspect,

clothing worn by the suspect, thesame amount of cash taken fromKlinke Cleaners and a syringe was

recovered from Ikegwunos vehicle,according to a complaint filed in fed-

eral court.The men appeared last week in

federal court after being chargedwith the Klinke holdup.

before a grand jury.Each armed robbery conviction

carries maximum penalties of 25years in prison.

Both men remain in custody.The case was set for a status con-

ference this week.

County numbers alter city mill rateOver the weekend, city finance director John Lehman received final mill rate numbers from Dane County.The assessment ratio changed slightly from the number I used last week, Lehman said in a message to

the mayor and city council. As a result the City of Middleton 2014 mill rate rose slightly from 6.92 to 6.95.The 6.95 is an increase of 6.11 percent from 2013. The assessment ratio accounts for the difference betweenthe equalized and assessed property values. It is the assessed valuation upon which the mill rate is appliedresulting in the 2014 property tax bill.

Due to a decrease in the Madison Technical College 2014 mill rate, the total net mill rate of all taxing entitiesin the Middleton taxing district for 2014 is 22.05, the same as last year. Thus, if assessed property values in2013 are unchanged in 2014 then the tax bill should be unchanged.

School board approves

hiring of permanent

substitute teachers

The Middleton-Cross Plains AreaSchool District Board of Education has

approved hiring three permanent sub-stitute teachers. Administration in-

formed the board the district hasenough spots to fill to keep the three

teachers working full-time. The teach-ers will be hired and working by Janu-

ary 2015.Hiring permanent substitutes is an

alternative to using Teachers on Call,which is the company that currently

fills substitute openings in the district.Superintendent Don Johnson explained

the benefits of hiring versus using thestaffing company. To hire a substitute

from Teachers on Call for the rest ofthe year would amount to $21,750.

There is also a 25 percent charge fromthe company, but a portion of that cov-

ers the employees insurance.To hire a substitute for the rest of the

year will cost the district either$25,391 if they take a single insurance

plan or $29,995 if they take the familyinsurance plan. The total cost for

Teachers on Call would fall betweenthose prices, so the district would not

necessarily save money, but Johnsonsays there are other benefits.

We would have some savings interms of our staff time as well as some

of the software they pay for, saidJohnson. If we hire a long term sub

they will be responsible for lessonplanning and assessment, a short term

sub will come in, get lesson plan,maybe do a little grading, but when the

bell rings at the end of the day theyhave no more responsibility.

Johnson added that the districtwould be more likely to hire a perma-

nent sub as a teacher rather than some-one from the regular sub pool. The

permanent sub position gives the dis-

trict a chance to work with a possiblefuture hire before offering a teaching

contract.Director of Employee Services

Tabatha Gundrum said this plan alsoprovides benefits for the subs, in that it

allows them to get a foot in the doorand affords them an opportunity to

make a favorable impression uponmultiple principals and staff.

Board members was concerned tohear that on average there is one sub-

stitute or more per day in every school.Gundrum noted one day the district

had 35 substitutes working in oneschool.

From a business standpoint, a smallthat had 20 employees, if they could al-

most never have a day where they hadno absences that would be a really big

problem, said board member DianeHornung.

Gundrum pointed out that leaves ofabsence, bereavement or time working

curriculum or professional develop-ment also count as an absence. She also

reminded the board that even at the el-ementary buildings there are at least 40

employees. All employees are countednot just teachers.

Johnson said he would also like todevelop an incentive package to en-

courage staff from using reimbursabledays. He pointed out when staff cur-

rently retire, they get $15 for each un-used reimbursable day, which isnt

much of an incentive, he said.If I dont use them, I lose them,

Johnson said. I think our current sys-tem encourages that at some level.

The district will pilot this plan forthe remainder of the 2014-2015 school

year. Administration will revisit thepilot during budget planning for 2015-

2016 and again in May of 2015. Thethree permanent substitute teachers po-

sitions the district plans to hire will be

The Town of Springfield unani-

mously approved $1,235,600 for the2015 budget on Tuesday, Nov. 18.

The 2015 budget included $681,936for Public Works/Road Maintenance,

and multiple Capital Expenditures, in-cluding $12,500 as the Town of

Springfields share in the WaunakeeEMS building, $15,264 for the Town

of Springfields Share in the WaunakeeFire building, and $70,000 for a Snow

Plow Truck.Our local mill rate will be

$0.9963, commented Board SecretaryCarolyn Hacker, down from $1.42.

The Springfield Board also met withcounty supervisors Sharon Corrigan

and Patrick Miles to discuss Spring-fields Transfer of Development Rights

(TDR) Plan.We worked on the program for

quite a few years, explained Spring-field chairman Don Hoffman, trying

to develop a program that incentivesthe preservation of large tracks of

farmland.Hoffman further explained the major

points of the plan were to keep housesclustered and not interfering with agri-

cultural operation, but was held up bywhat appeared to be political conflict

and not approved when last proposed

to the Dane County Zoning.I want to see it implemented, com-

mented Miles, because it could be

something of a template for othertowns.

Both supervisors voiced support forthe item, though at least one potential

hang-up was brought to the table by

Miles.But the issue comes to play is

where if you play with the densities tothe ratios, commented Supervisor

Miles, that then we might be lookingat something that really should be

going through public process becauseit could affect others.

No amendments were made to the

plan, and discussion on the item ended

with Corrigan and Miles agreeing toreview Springfields TDR plan with

others on the Zoning board, and com-municate any suggested changes to or

current feelings from the Zoning Boardon the item with Town Secretary Car-

olyn Hacker.The Springfield board also unani-

mously approved the current draft of a

developers agreement with Jim Wills

regarding the development of theSchneider Rd. Business Center and the

formation of the TID at the site.The approval was given pending

written verification from the townscounsel stating that everything pre-

sented was prepared appropriately.

The town also approved operators li-

censes for employees working in estab-lishments inside the town, set up dates

to meet with a representative fromWaunakee to discuss the Waunakee

Boundary agreement, and paid thetowns bills for the remainder of the

month.


Board votes to reduce Lodi Springfield speed limit

Unanimous approval for $1.23 million budget

The Town Board of Springfieldvoted unanimously on Tuesday, De-

cember 2 to reduce the speed limit ona stretch of Lodi Springfield Rd. from

55 to 45 by 10 miles per hour, from55mph to 45mph.

The stretch of road selected for thisreduction in speed runs the length of

Lodi Springfield Road between US 19to the intersection of Lodi Springfield

Rd. and Co Hwy P.Discussion on the topic was brought

about after the town received emailsoutlining concerns from local residents

about speed and danger in person to theboard, and included some discussion

on traffic backups on Co Hwy P.The motion was brought by supervi-

sor Dan Dresen, to lower the speedlimit on the stretch of road, and was

carried unanimously by the entireboard.

The board also held further discus-sions on reopening talks with Wauna-

kee on the towns BoundaryAgreement with the village. While the

board reported no meeting had yettaken place with representatives from

the Village of Waunakee, discussionsoutlined particular issues and goals that

were driving the issue.A primary listed goal of Springfield

supervisors was the renewal of theboundary agreement to abate any risk

of annexation of town lands by the Vil-lage of Waunakee.

We want to extend the agreementagain, commented Board Supervisor

Jim Pulvermacher.Road usage in the northeastern por-

tion of Springfield was brought up asan issue facing the township, particu-

larly the usage of Hellenbrand Rd.That road is going to need some

love, and I dont want to spend a dimeof the Town of Springfields money to

maintain that road, advised Supervi-sor Pulvermacher. Thats not my tax-

base.No action was taken on the item,

though board Chairman Don Hoffmanadvised he would attempt to set up a

meeting with representatives fromWaunakee.

Springfield additionally reviewedand updated language in its TDR

(Transfer of Development Rights) planproposal to include limiting the towns

ability to review the adjustment of ra-tios to once every two years, and resub-

mitted this language to a representativeof Dane County Zoning.

Discussion during this review indi-cated that it was intended to be a limi-

tation on the towns control over the

adjustments of the ratio of divisions

that can take place on any properties in

the town of Springfield after a meeting

in November with representatives of

Dane County Zoning and determining

there was potential concern over the

amount of control the town would have

over this item under the drafted plan.

Lloyd Wright lives on at Clark St.Clark Street Community School is

breathing life into the legacy of FrankLloyd Wright with a seminar dedicated

to his life and unique style of architec-ture.

The innovative seminar resultedfrom teacher Robyn Roberts efforts to

bring together various disciplines:English, geometry, history and art

through the investigation into the per-sonal and professional life of Frank

Lloyd Wright.It all started with the book, Loving

Frank by Nancy Horan and later,Death in the Prairie House by

William S. Drennan.Roberts goal is to make the books

come to life. What the students expe-rience is a dynamic and unique learn-

ing journey.What makes this seminar so impres-

sive is the shared success of this learn-ing journey. Roberts explains it is the

students energy and excitement that

creates engagement and passionate dis-

cussions. True to the philosophy ofClark Street Community School, the

Frank Lloyd Wright seminar inspirescritical thinking and deep learning.

The learning experience mimicsWrights process of stretching the

bounds of the standard to find a freshperspective.

The journey to understand Wright asa person, architect and eclectic thinker

began with students delving into thenovel, Loving Frank. Like the book,

the discussions and discoveries by stu-dents were quite deep, revealing and

authentic. That was just the beginning.Students passionately described the

reading of Death of a Prairie House.This novel explored the little known

murders which haunted Wright andforever changed his architectural de-

signs.Just as Wright sought to bring the

outside world inside his structures and

design, so does Roberts bring real life

into the classroom. Throughout theseminar, students took multiple field

trips to visit Wrights architecturallegacies located in and around Madi-

son. Taliesin, Hillside Home School,the State Historical Society and the

Unitarian House were defined by theclass as authentic experiences-tangi-

ble, visible and real. These experi-ences brought the readings to life and

provide a deeper understandingWrights legacy.

Frank Lloyd Wright stated, Everyidea that is a true idea has a form, and

is capable of many forms. The varietyof forms of which it is capable deter-

mines the value of the idea.At CSCS, students often finish a

seminar by completing a final project.

Some projects in the Frank LloydWright seminar investigate the archi-

tectural style and expression thatWright inspired. Examples of projects

include: creating scale models ofstructures inspired by Wrights use of

local and natural materials.These structures highlight Wrights

need to bring the world outside to theinside by incorporating glass to let in

light and open spaces in the interior.Other structures would utilize Wrights

Prairie style highlighting slopingroof tops, to follow the line of natural

landscape. Architecture was not theonly interest as one student shared how

he was inspired by the Unitarian Housefield trip. He was building a bench

based on those he saw at the Unitarian

House.He was particularly interested in

how benches could be arranged in acommon space to bring a sense of

community and his written piecewould reflect this interest.

One senior described how the fieldtrip walk through the Middleton Hills

neighborhood, sparked her interest incommunity space. She was going to

write up a proposal to build a youthcenter on this lot. This youth center

would provide safe space for teenagersto meet and engage in a variety of en-

tertainment. This is an authentic proj-ect which reflects the teachings of civic

duty and responsibility to the commu-nity.

I know the price of success: dedi-cation, hard work and an unremitting

devotion to the things you want to seehappen, said Wright. According to

the school, the CSCS students andteacher in this Frank Lloyd Wright

seminar are quite successful.Students involved were Alex Kolb,

Jacob Gillitzer, Kayla Klenke, AlexSelkirk, Josh Hall, Ben Miller, Kristin

Jansky, Shelby Noble and Haley Rah-man.

Dane Buy Local Executive Director

Colin Murray and Dane County Exec-

utive Joe Parisi began their own holi-

day shopping in November at one of

Dane Buy Locals more than 300 Dane

County Business members.

November marked the launch of an

unprecedented collaboration among

advocates for local independent busi-

ness. Representing over 800 locally

owned and independent businesses in

Dane County, Shift Your Shopping will

encourage residents and businesses to

make a Shift by buying from local

independent businesses for the holiday

season. Shift Your Shopping offers a

simple, powerful way to boost our

economy and preserve and create jobs

in our communities.

Were asking community residents

to shift your purchases of food, cards,

gifts, flowers and other holiday pur-

chases to where it matters most, from

your friends and neighbors at locally-

owned businesses. And while youre at

it, see some familiar faces and enjoy

the experience, said Colin Murray,

Executive Director of Dane Buy Local.

Americans do a large portion of their

annual retail shopping budget between

Nov. 1 and Dec. 31 about $700 per

shopper according to the National Re-

tail Federation. Numerous studiesshow that if those dollars are shifted to

locally owned, independent businesses,

theyll generate far more economic

benefit in local communities than

money spent at local chain outlets or

businesses outside the community.

Dane Buy Local plays such an im-

portant role helping build our local

economy, Dane County Executive Joe

Parisi said. We hope starting our own

shopping at one of its member busi-

nesses will increase awareness of the

importance of buying local and provide

valuable support to small businesses in

our community. Every $73 out of $100

dollars spent at a locally owned busi-

ness stays in our community vs. $43

from a similar purchase at another

business and it helps create and retain

jobs in our community.

Shift Your Shopping encourages res-

idents to take job creation and eco-

nomic concerns into their own hands

by exercising their power to strengthen

their local economies. Numerous stud-

ies on the impact of buying from local

independent businesses have found im-

pressive benefits.

Data reveals independent businesses

in communities executing long-term

buy local and independent cam-

paigns averaged a healthy 5.6 percent

increase over the previous year. This

gain more than doubled the 2.1 percent

increase reported by independent busi-

nesses in areas lacking such cam-

paigns. All of those campaigns

operated with support from the Ameri-

can Independent Business Alliance

(AMIBA), and/or Business Alliance

for Local Living Economies (BALLE).

Anyone can participate and make a

direct impact where they live.

AMIBA Director Jennifer Rockne

said, By shifting the focus of holiday

shopping to locally owned, independ-

ent businesses, we can strengthen our

communities and economy, create

more jobs and equally important

we can enjoy more relaxed and reward-

ing experiences doing holiday shop-

ping.Shift Your Shopping extends

through December 31. See ShiftYour-

Shopping.org for a wide array of re-

sources and information on

participating organizations.

Middleton girlsbasketball coachJeff Kindnotched his500th career winlast Thursdaywhen hisCardinals defeat-ed Verona.

VERONA The past and presentcollided for Jeff Kind last Thursdaynight. And in a game dripping with

irony, Middletons girls basketballcoach left with one of the more mem-

orable victories of his stellar career.Kind notched his 500th career win

when his Cardinals rallied for athrilling 65-62 win over host Verona

in an early-season clash of Big EightConference titans.

Middleton senior guard ElizabethNorregaard put on a shooting clinic,

making a remarkable 8-of-11 three-point shots and matching her career-

high with 32 points. Interestingly,Norregaards performance came

against Verona coach Angie Murphy(Halbleib), the finest player in

Middleton history who was integral in

Kind building the program to where itis today.

It all added up to a win Kind and

the Cardinals will remember for along, long time.

Ive had a lot of good players, themodest Kind said. Ive been around a

long time and Ive had a lot of goodplayers. Thats what it means. Its spe-

cial.

VERONA When C.J.Fermanich has the basketball in his

hands, good things often happen.So when Middletons sophomore

point guard attacked the basket in thewaning seconds of the first half last

Friday night, teammate Tyree Eadyknew exactly where he needed to be as

well.Fermanich delivered a beautiful

pass in the paint to Eady who sank alayup an instant before the halftime

buzzer sounded. Middleton rode thatmomentum to a 70-61 victory over

host Verona in a Big Eight Conferenceboys basketball game.

You have two athletic, heady,experienced sophomores, Middleton

coach Kevin Bavery said. They have

grown up playing so much basketballand know each other so well. Most

teams would expect C.J. to go all theway to the rim, but he made that extra

pass for the easy lay in.(Verona) had cut into the lead just

a little bit before that so to get the pos-session back to us and finish off at the

half and then get the ball back to start

the second half was a great way tobounce back.

Middleton, which was picked to

finish in the middle of the pack in theBig Eight by the Wisconsin Basketball

Yearbook, improved to 3-0 overall and2-0 in the league.

Eady scored a team-high 17 pointsto lead four players in double figures

for Middleton. Fermanich finishedwith 13 points, while senior forward

Ian Hokanson and sophomore guardStorm Murphy added 11 points apiece.

Its definitely different than in thepast, Hokanson said of the Cardinals

depth, which allows Bavery to go atleast seven deep off the bench and

It was a memorable year for

Middletons football team.

And the Cardinals were certainly

recognized when it came time for

postseason honors.

Middleton had 11 players named

first-team all-Big Eight Conference,

six received second-team honors and

five others earned honorable-men-

tion honors.

Middletons 22 all-conference

selections were a league-high. But

after winning the league with an 8-1mark, that type of recognition

seemed well-deserved.

Of our 22 starters, 20 of them got

recognition, Middleton coach Tim

Simon said.

Middletons first-team all-confer-

ence players were senior defensive

lineman Nikko Miller, senior defen-

sive end Alex Wills, senior inside

linebacker Hayden Denson, senior

outside linebacker Brian Chapman,

senior defensive back Alex Wood,

senior offensive lineman Sean

Benedict, junior offensive lineman

KaJaun Redus, senior tight end

Mitchell Herl, senior quarterback

Kellan Schulz, junior running back

Cam Maly and senior punter DeclanWhinnery.

Wood and Herl were both named

first-team all-state by the Wisconsin

Football Coaches Association.

Chapman and Whinnery were named

honorable-mention all-state.

Middletons second team all-con-

ference selections included senior

offensive lineman Derek Ramsey,

junior wideout Mitchell Bacon, sen-

ior return specialist Alex Wood, sen-

ior defensive lineman Chase Jollie,

senior linebacker Peyton Brunker

and senior defensive lineman Nick

Maes.

The Cardinals honorable mention

all-conference selections were senior

wideout Travis Zander, senior full-

back Eric Karwoski, senior defen-

sive end Josh Hellbach, sophomore

safety Joe Ludwig and senior safety

Max Boehnen.

Herl had one of the best years

ever by a Middleton tight end. The 6-

foot-4, 212-pound Herl led the

Cardinals in receptions (36), receiv-

ing yards (632) and receiving touch-

downs (seven). Herl also averaged

17.6 yards per catch, rarely went

down after initial contact and was the

leading vote getter among all pass

catchers.

Hes such a big target and gives

me such a big passing radius,

Schulz said during the season about

Herl. I just need to get it near him

and hell make the catch.

What the 5-foot-9, 150 pound

Wood lacked in size he made up for

with speed, athleticism and tough-

ness.

Wood was Middletons top cor-

nerback and one of the best in the

state. Wood finished the year with

four interceptions, one touchdown,

one fumble recovery and 33 tackles.

Wood was also Middletons top

punt returner, where he averaged

17.5 yards per attempt and had one

return touchdown.

Hell just fight you tooth and

nail, Middleton defensive coordina-

tor Tom Cabalka said of Wood.

Yeah, hes a little guy, but man is he

tough.

Chapman was the heart and soul

of Middletons defense and was the

conferences leading vote getter at

outside linebacker. Chapman fin-

ished the year with 57 tackles, four

tackles for loss and one sack. He also

had an interception that he returned

for a touchdown.

Whinnery averaged 34.7 yards per

punt and placed 38.9% of his punts

inside the 20-yard line (7-of-18).

Wills was the conferences top

vote getter at defensive end. Wills

had terrific speed off the edge and

led the Cardinals with eight sacks

and 11 tackles for loss. Wills also

had three forced fumbles, one fumblerecovery and 54 total tackles.

Denson was the leading vote get-

ter at inside linebacker. Denson fin-

ished with a team-high 77 tackles,

had four tackles for loss, one sack,

two forced fumbles, a fumble recov-

ery and an interception.

Miller was a force at defensive

tackle and finished the year with 38

total tackles and five tackles for loss,

which tied for the second-most on

the team.

Schulz was the conferences lead-

ing vote getter at quarterback. He

completed 120 of 212 passes

(56.6%), threw for 1,621 yards, 14

touchdowns and just two intercep-

tions. Schulz also ran for 289 yardsand six touchdowns.

Maly had a breakout junior season

and ran for 1,143 yards. Maly scored

19 touchdowns, had just one fumble

and averaged 5.7 yards per carry.

Benedict played center and right

guard for the Cardinals and was an

anchor inside. Redus was one of the

smaller left tackles around (5-7,

215), but has terrific quickness and

athleticism, two traits that stymied

most defensive ends.

The two offensive linemen were a

huge reason Middleton averaged

33.5 points and 340 yards per game.

Ramsey, Middletons right tackle,

was another huge cog in the

Cardinals terrific offensive lineplay. Ramsey, the Cardinals lone

returnee up front, began the year at

right guard, then made a seamless

transition to right tackle and enjoyed

another big season.

Bacon finished second on the

team in both receptions (27) and

receiving yards (404). Bacon also

had four touchdowns and averaged

15.0 yards per catch.

Jollie was another player who

shined inside and finished the year

with 37 tackles and one tackle for

loss. Brunker finished third on the

team in tackles (63), had three tack-

les for loss, two defensive touch-

downs, one interception, two fumble

recoveries and one forced fumble.Maes developed into a standout

corner in his own right, finishing

with two interceptions and 21 total

tackles.

Zander caught 15 passes for 267

yards and three touchdowns.

Karwoski moved from right tackle to

fullback after early-season injuries

decimated that position and had a big

year clearing the way for

Middletons stable of running backs.

Hellbach gave the Cardinals a

second outstanding defensive end.

Hellbach was second on the team in

sacks (five), had five tackles for loss,

one forced fumble and 27 total tack-

les.

Ludwig was second on the team

with 67 tackles. He also had two

interceptions, one forced fumble and

a tackle for loss.

Boehnen had four interceptions

and four forced fumbles. He also had

49 total tackles and a tackle for loss.

Middleton finished the year 9-2

overall and lost in the second round

of the WIAA Division 1 playoffs to

Fond du Lac.

Sportsbriefs

Groy expected to startFormer Middleton High School

athlete Ryan Groy, a rookie offen-

sive lineman for the Chicago

Bears, is expected to start at left

guard for the Bears Monday night.

Groy was promoted from

Chicagos practice squad Nov. 10,

then played 41snaps in a Week 14

loss to Dallas.Groy was a four-year starter at

the University of Wisconsin and

went undrafted in May. Groy

spent the first 10 weeks of the sea-

son on the Bears practice squad

before being elevated to the active

roster.

Im absolutely ready, Groy

told the Chicago Tribune. Even

when I was on the practice squad,

I prepared like I was going to play.

I would go into center meet-

ings and I just wanted to be ready

for the worst-case scenario.


20/24

To tell you the truth, I wasnt eventhinking about it. It was like Lets

beat Verona. Its nice that it camehere, but its even nicer that we beat

Verona.The biggest reason was the sensa-

tional shooting of Norregaard, whoserange seems to extend across Dane

county. Not only did Norregaard make

72.7% of her three-point attempts,some extended as far as 27-feet.

Its painful, Murphy said of

Norregaards exploits. Most of thosewere at the volleyball line.

Verona used a 10-0 run to take a60-56 lead with 1:55 left. But

Norregaard, who had 14 fourth quarterpoints, answered with a three-pointer

with 1:40 left that sparked a 9-2 clos-ing run for the Cardinals.

That was really, really fun, espe-cially when its clutch like that at the

end, said Norregaard, who was 4-for-4 from beyond the arc in the fourth

Mtt50 Mg Final
