Submitted by Eddie Richie, Head Coach, Madison Cunty High School Varsity
Madison is currently 7-11. The record does not indicate the way we are playing recently. We have won 2 of our last 3 games. Our last loss was at home to East Gadsden 65-63. Let me give you all an analogy: East Gadsden is to basketball as Madison County is to football. We could have and should won that game. We missed a few gimmies and free throws that would have gave us a bigger lead in the final minutes. It was an intense game that left the players’ heart broken in the end. As a coach, there is no such thing a “good loss”, but this one wasn’t exactly bad. We learned that we can play with one of the best teams in the state, especially in 3A and they are in our district. The travesty of the game, besides the loss, was there was only about 100 people there to see real good basketball.
