Lady Red Raiders’ streak ends Tues. in 53-16 shocker

While the final score was a definite shock for Madison County, the lowest point total of the season, Lampe said that there were some positives from the game.

“Defensively we were good, holding them to 20 points in the first half,” he said. “But we missed some early layups and some threes to only score four points in the first half. We are going to see more teams like Buford and we have to keep a level head.”

With 0-0 record to start with heading into the sub-region. Madison County will have it’s first opponent, Flowery Branch, be the team’s seventh on the road game.

“Madison County has to be the aggressor and bring it to the other team,” said Lampe. “Flowery Branch is completely different from Buford, and we have to put in an honest day’s work at practice and then work during the game.”

Friday's game starts at 7 p.m. for the Lady Red Raiders with the boys to follow.
