Shades of 88
Vikings win two titles, put all six qualifiers on the podium
ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
The Stoughton High School wres-
tling team had its most successful
weekend in almost 30 years last week.
All six Vikings qualifiers at the
WIAA Division 1 state individual
tournament placed on the podium,
and five went to the finals, tying a
D1 record by River Falls (1997) and
breaking a school record set in 1988.
They ended up with two state cham-
pions at the Kohl Center on Saturday
senior Brandon Klein and junior
Tyler Dow and three runner-ups, in
seniors Tristan Jenny, Garrett Model
and sophomore Hunter Lewis. Sopho-
more Cade Spilde finished sixth.
It was awesome to have five in the
finals, Klein told the Hub. It sucks
that two seniors didnt win it, but as
a team, coming back for the team title
is what we want. We will all come
back and bond together and get it.
Stoughton scored 117.5 points, the
most by any D1 school and a first
since 1988. In those days, the team
champion was chosen by how many
points were scored at the individu-
al state tournament. Now it is deter-
mined by a separate dual tournament
the week after. The Vikings are the
top-ranked team in that tournament.
It is unprecedented, said co-head
coach Dan Spilde, who was a senior
on that 1988 team. We had seven

placewinners in 88, when we set all
kinds of records. This team has been
on pace to break a lot of those records
and have already broken a lot of them.
It has been really fun.
The Vikings also had a chance to
pass Mineral Point for all-time indi-
vidual state titles. They have 48 after
last weekends results, trailing Miner-
al Point by two.
All the guys wrestled well in their
place matches, Dan Spilde said.
Any time you can put two more
names under that champion lineup, it
is a good year. We just hope we can
keep it going for another week.

SASD gets funding for cutting edge lighting project

AMBER LEVENHAGEN
Unified Newspaper Group

A bright idea for a grant sparked

a new lighting project geared to
enhance classroom experiences
for students and teachers.
Stoughton Area School District
received funding from Stough-
ton Utilities and American Public
Power Association to complete
a tunable light project for three
classrooms at Fox Prairie Elemen-
tary School and two classrooms at
Stoughton High School.
The project involves the instal-
lation of tunable LED lights,
which started at the end of
December and was completed
early February.
There are other benefits as well.
Since the lights can give off dif-
ferent colors and intensities of
light and mimic natural sunlight,
according to a news release, they
can help regulate sleep-wake
cycles, decrease the effects of

The library held a stop-motion animated workshop on
Thursday, Feb. 23. A professional mini-studio was provid-

own animated videos, one frame at a time. From action
quests to football games, Lego action figures were used to
create the animated films.

Veterans honored at Quilt of Valor ceremony
AMBER LEVENHAGEN
Unified Newspaper Group

Six veterans were honored at

a Quilts of Valor ceremony at the
VFW Sunday, Jan. 22.
Quilts of Valor is an organiza-
tion with the mission to cover vet-
erans impacted by war with the
comforting and healing quilts.
Each quilt is crafted by a volunteer
and has three main parts: a top lay-
er that represents the communities
and individuals of our nation, the
center batting that offers warmth
and the backing that holds the
pieces of the quilt together.
A special joint tribute was
offered to Darrell March and his
daughter, Sherri Barrett. March
was a Sergeant First Class, serv-
ing in the Navy, Marines and the
Army starting in 1967. He served
in Vietnam and is a member of the
Stoughton VFW, American Legion
and Masonic Lodge.
Barrett was a sergeant in the
army from 1998 to 2005, serving
in the Iraq War during Operation
Iraqi Freedom II. She was the first
woman in the 4th Cavalry to be
awarded the Cavalry Stetson and
Spurs. She also is a member of

Vikings look to win first team state title since 1988

ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor

Senior Garrett Model and junior

Tyler Dow will be teammates again
after the WIAA Division 1 team
state tournament March 3-4 at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Field House.
Model has already signed a
National Letter of Intent to wrestle
at the UW and Dow verbally com-
mitted there. But for the Stough-
tons wrestling team as a whole,
this weekend will be the last time
seniors Tristan Jenny, Brandon
Klein, Kaleb Louis, Model, Dow
and the rest of the Vikings will be
teammates in high school.
Thats what makes the quest for
the first team title since 1988 so
important to them.
I feel like this moment is going
to be pretty special, Dow said.
We have a great group of seniors
right now, and they worked hard-
er than I have ever seen a group of
seniors work.
The friendship Model and Dow
share is similar to that of the rest of
the team, Dow said.
They push each other and push
even the freshmen, the new kids
that join wrestling for the first
time, Dow said. They just want
everybody to rise up and rise to the
occasion.
Thats why despite having five
state finalists in the individual tour-
nament, it was a common senti-
ment that winning for the team was
more important than any individual
gains.
Klein, for example, won a title,
but he seemed disappointed that
more teammates didnt make it

Comparing 1988 to 2017

Co-head coach Dan Spilde was a
senior in 1988 when he was a part
of the last team state championship
for the Vikings.
That team had four state finalists
and three champions and placed
all seven qualifiers, giving Stough-
ton 140 points and the team state
championship.
The 2017 team had similar results
Thursday through Saturday at the
WIAA Division 1 individual state
tournament, scoring 117.5 points to
top the field. It had five state final-

ville senior Elliott Luker Saturday in the 160-pound

ists and two champions and placed
all six qualifiers.
In 1988, Ron Pieper won his second
individual state title and finished
with three in his career, and Aric So-
derbloom and Chris Vike both won
their first state titles. Aaron Fellenz
was runner-up, and Bret Stubble-
field and Steve Hack finished third
and fourth, respectively.
Dan Spilde, who won a state title
in 1987, took fifth in 1988. His son,
sophomore Cade Spilde, took sixth
last weekend.

Senior Garrett Model scores a takedown against West De Pere senior

Keenan Graef Thursday in the preliminaries. Model won the match in
a 14-5 major decision and ended up making his second straight state
final. Model finished runner-up.

The road to gold
To win the first team state title since 1988, the
top-ranked Vikings (23-0) probably will need to
get past powerhouses like third-ranked Oak Creek
(13-0) in the semifinals and second-ranked and
three-time defending state champion Kaukauna
(19-0) in the championship.
Oak Creek had eight state qualifiers last week-
end at individual state senior Mitch Landgraf
(120, ranked fifth), senior Matt Berlin (126, ranked
seventh), senior Enrique Acevedo (220, ranked
16th), junior Veliko Kochiu (132, state runner-up),
junior Jesse Kovnesky (152, ranked 13th), sopho-
more Nolan Paar (170, ranked sixth), sophomore
Joey Colla (138, ranked ninth) and freshman Ran-
dall Hunt (106, ranked 16th).
Kaukauna had seven state qualifiers senior
Keaton Kluever (heavyweight, state champion),
senior Trent Leon (132, fourth at state), senior
Martin VanAsten (220, ranked fourth), junior Zach
Lee (152, ranked fifth), sophomore Bryce Alsteen
(170, fourth at state), sophomore Brandon Micksh
(120, fifth at state) and sophomore John Diener
(113, ranked 11th).
The Vikings finished runner-up to Kaukauna the
past two seasons.
Stoughtons first opponent is seventh-ranked
Waterford (16-2) at 5:30p.m. Friday in the D1
quarterfinals.
Waterford had seven state qualifiers senior
Austin Thomas (145, fifth at state), senior EJ Mas-
trocola (heavyweight, sixth at state), senior Tanner
Cadman (170, sixth at state), junior Jack Traut-
mann III (195, third at state), junior Jared Kratti-
ger (182, third at state), junior Sam Winski (120,
ranked 13th) and freshman Cody Welker (113,
ranked 10th).
Despite going up against some of the best in the
state, senior Garrett Model said that the team is not
approaching the tournament differently than a nor-
mal match.
I think we will train like it is any other week,
Model said. We are not going to change our train-
ing schedule or training mentalities. We will keep
the same drive. There is one week left, and we can
end up on top.

classroom and in friendships and
every part of life and prepared me
for the moment.
Dow added that he is not done
striving for more, wanting to help
Stoughton win the team title and
then to come back next season
and get another state title.
I have bigger goals than just
being a single-time state cham-
pion, Dow said. I want to be a
two-time state champion. I want
to go on to the collegiate level
and wrestle at nationals. I want
to be a world champ. I want to be
an Olympic champ. You name it.
I love the sport of wrestling, and
that is where I am at right now.
Runners-up
Second-ranked Model (46-
6) came up short of a second
straight state title in a 3-1 loss
to top-ranked La Crosse Central
senior Jaden Van Maanen (49-0)
at 145.
I am disappointed I came up
short because the whole goal
is to not come up short, Model
said. It is a learning experience.
There were multiple times in the
match I could have scored and
just didnt capitalize on those
opportunities.
Model allowed a takedown late
in the second period after Van
Maanen grabbed his leg, circled
and gained control.
Model looked to have at least
a two-point near fall in the third
period that would have given him
the lead, but the referee said the
control was held for under two
seconds.
Van Maanen later escaped and
Model couldnt get a takedown to
tie.
Second-ranked Jenny (41-9)
also had a tough finals match in
a 7-5 loss to fourth-ranked Hart-
land Arrowhead freshman Kee-
gan OToole (40-4) at 120.
It is pretty disappointing I
came up short, obviously, Jenny
said. My goal was to win it, and
that was my whole mindset this
whole tournament. It is a pretty
good accomplishment, but it is
nothing that I wanted.
Jenny allowed two takedowns
in the second period, losing his
footing near the edge for one and
losing position in a scrum on the
ground for the other.
He looked poised for a come-
back in the third period, look-
ing to get a takedown less than a
minute in but not getting the call
from the referee.
He finally got one with 20 sec-
onds left and quickly allowed
OToole to be neutral to go for
the tie, but time ran out before
Jenny get could get another move
off.
Second-ranked Lewis (50-4)
also came close to a title in a 7-4
loss to top-ranked Hortonville
sophomore Eric Barnett (45-0).
Getting second is just going to
drive me more to do better next
year, Lewis said. I just want to
go out there and dominate every-
body.
Lewis trailed 5-0 in the second
period but was able to twist over
Barnett from the bottom and pin
one shoulder for a reversal and a
two-point near fall.
But in the third, Barnett used a
tie-up strategy with Lewis for the
first 1 minute, 30 seconds. They
pushed each other around, but no
stalling was called.
Barnett later scored a takedown
when Lewis was trying for the
win with 14 seconds left.
The time flew by. I didnt real-
ize how little time I had until I
looked at the clock and realized it
was too late, Lewis said.
On the podium
Twelfth-ranked Cade Spilde
(138) finished his run with a
sixth-place finish after a 3-2 loss
to sixth-ranked New Richmond
senior Bryce Younger (36-7).
Spilde dragged Younger down
in the clinch with wrist control
and was able to circle for the
takedown in the second period,
but he couldnt get an escape to
force overtime.
Spilde nearly picked up an
escape with one second left but
was forced out of bounds by
Younger, who still had control on
their feet.
I wanted to make a statement
this year and would have liked to
get higher, Cade Spilde said. I
made it on the podium which is
one of the goals. It was definite-
ly a great experience, and I cant
wait to do better next year and
see what I could do.

Sampson: Recited Gettysburg Address every year since 1944 as a high school junior

ter, after first being asked
to recite it as a Stoughton
High School junior.
They thought I did it so
well they asked me to do it
again and then again and
again, and again, he said
in a 2014 interview with
the Hub. They must have
liked me because they kept
asking me to do it. I do con-
sider it an honor. Ill keep
reciting it unless I get Alz-
heimers and cant remem-
ber it.
Life in Stoughton
Sampson was a lifelong
Stoughton resident, born
June 16, 1926, and graduat-
ing from SHS in 1945. For
years, he lived in the house
he grew up in on Hillside
Avenue.
Sampson never learned to
drive, and before his health
deteriorated, he ate most of
his meals in local restau-
rants, including the Koffee
Kup and the Main Street
Kitchen.
Trish Gulseth, whos
owned and operated the
Koffee Kup with her hus-
band, Ken, for more than 25
years, said Sampson often
didnt have to pay for his
own meals because of the
kindness of customers who
either knew him or knew of
him.
He came in almost every
night, she said. People
know that hes a very dis-
tinguished person in the
community and they take

married, landed a job at the
Badger Theater after grad-
uating from SHS, and did
everything from running
the film projectors to tak-
ing tickets. After that, he
worked for a long time at a
bookstore in Madison, tak-
ing the train to commute,
and once that service end-
ed, a Greyhound bus.
He worked the majority
of his adult life as a sales
clerk for several Stoughton
establishments, and many
people saw him walking
from his home to various
locations around down-
town.
