Middleton co-head coach Tim Simon says that Friday night will be a true test of team effort and how far the team has come since camp and week 1, as several new starters get initiated into the rigors of Big 8 play.
With so many new faces on offense and defense on varsity, the opening week went well, says Simon, but the first game always shows opportunities for improvement. The Cardinals will have to mature fast, because like last year, they'll get a major test when they play Verona on Friday night in week 2, a season after meeting Sun Prairie in the second week of 2017.
