The Middleton boys volleyball team left no doubt on Friday night.
Coach Ben White’s Cardinals, ranked fifth in the state coaches’ poll, did not drop a set while cruising to the championship of the Big Eight Conference tournament on their home court.
Middleton, also the league’s regular-season champion, took a 25-19, 25-15, 25-17 victory over Madison Memorial in the best-of-five championship match after downing Madison West in a semifinal, 25-11, 25-9, and Madison East in the first round, 25-9, 25-15.
West beat Madison La Follette in the third-place match, 25-10, 25-17, 25-21. Fort Atkinson captured fifth place with wins over Beloit Memorial and Madison Edgewood/Country Day after an opening loss to Madison La Follette. Madison East finished seventh.
