The Madison Girls Basketball team had an outstanding game against Riverside High School last Wednesday. The team record is 5-9 and their conference record is 2-5. The girls played Riverside at Riverside High School on January 10th, winning 59-58. This game was important because not only was this a conference match, but the girls had a huge comeback in the second half when they were down 28 to 19.
The girls thought it was gonna be a close game before they stepped foot on the court because of the past battles with Riverside every year. Coach Smith said the girls had an outstanding second half and that their intensity lead to their win. Syd Guyer said they did not start very well in the first half because the girls weren't working together and not playing good defense. She also commented that Coach Smith’s speech at halftime motivated the girls better since they scored 40 points in the second half to get the win.
The top three performers during the Riverside game was Shyenne Ledford, with her great defense; Syd Guyer, with her outstanding shooting; and Chloe Wakim, stepping into the point guard position since Mykayla Askew is out with a knee injury.
Coach Smith said the win would boost the girls confidence for their next games coming up, such as their game against Chardon High School this Wednesday at home. The girls think the Chardon game should also be a close game because Riverside has defeated Chardon the previous week, giving the girls big motivation.
