The Middies, now tied with Bay, host the Rockets on Tuesday night with the WSC Title on the line. Tuesday is also Senior Night, as the Middies need all the support of the home crowd as they look to capture their 2nd consecutive WSC Title.
Girls Tennis – The Middies finished the season last week in Sectional play, as the doubles team of Alyx Plues and Amanda Brezina played into the third round, losing a tough match in the third round. The Middies finished fifth in the loop this year, as they say goodbye to six seniors who have had solid careers at Midview

Middie of the Week – Our first Middie of the Week is Cross-Country runner Lauren Hutka. Lauren continues to improve upon her times, and ran a personal best of 21:36 for the championship of the Girls’ Cross-Country Jack Wilhelm Invitational Meet. Lauren, a junior harrier for the Middies, will look to lead the Middies into the WSC Championships on Saturday at Bay Village.
Sad News – Longtime Midview Athletic Booster, Football Videographer, and Ticket Taker Guy DeNillo passed away this weekend. Guy was a smiling face around Midview Football, Volleyball, and Basketball games, and always had a quick joke or entertaining story to share with anyone who was near him. The Midview Athletic Department and entire Midview community should keep Guy, and his wife Lila, in their thoughts this week. Guy will be honored on Friday night with a moment of silence for his service to Midview High School. Guy will be missed at our Athletic events.
