Middletown Middle School Broncos eighth grade girls basketball team finishes regular season undefeated

MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – The Middletown Middle School Broncos eighth grade girls basketball team closed the 2012-13 regular season on Thursday with a win over Mountain Vista Middle School of Kelseyville to remain undefeated with a 10-0 record.

This same team also went undefeated in 2011-12 as seventh graders and won the Lake County Championship.

Team members are Abigail Aden, Kaityn Boorn, Caitlin Lemoine, Cassidy McKinney, Kaitlyn Miinch, Kendall Mildenberger, Lyndsy Moore, Makenzi Smith, Alley Tallman and Callie Wilson.

The girls are coached this year by Tamara Slaight and John Davis, assisted by Beth Hall.

Middletown and Kelseyville girls teams have met numerous times since playing as fifth grade All Stars, and every game has been extremely close – generally within five points.

While Kelseyville took the fifth grade crown, Middletown has triumphed in sixth and seventh grades and looks to close out their middle school run next week in the county championships, to be held at Middletown Jan. 23-25.

In volleyball, Aden, Lemoine, McKinney, Mildenberger and Tallman formed the core of the 2012 girls team, which also went undefeated. Both the seventh and eighth grade Broncos teams won their respective championships in 2012.

At the high school level the Middletown girls basketball dynasty seems to holding up.

The Lady Mustang JV team is undefeated so far this season and is well-stocked with freshmen moving up from last years championship eighth grade team.

Coached by Anthony Bazzano and Roxi Hoogendorn, the Mustang JV team traveled to Cloverdale Friday night for what should be a tight match.
