Over the weekend the lady blue streaks girls basketball team started their season in a four team tournament held at Lakeside. In the first round, the Madison girls faced Lakeside where they played hard and never let up. With tremendous performances by Riley Montagner, Chloe Bancroft, and Payton Lewanski. Lewanski had an astonishing 5 blocks in the game along with 9 points and 2 steals. Unfortunately the team had kink in the game when team member Abbie Wilson got an injury on her knee with just minutes left in the game. Wilson will most likely be out the rest of the season. The blue streaks however still came through with a crushing 63-17 win over Lakeside. With the win against the Dragons they then went on to play in the championship against Fitch on Saturday. Through the first half of the game the score was back and forth with great effort on both offense and defense. Going into halftime the teams were at a dead heat with a 27-27 tie. However the blue streaks couldn’t hang on even with a great effort, Fitch came out hot and the bluestreaks lost 38-55. Although the lady’s didn’t win they still got 2nd place in the tournament winning a trophy. Team members Riley Montagner and Payton Lewanski won alternate team members which is an amazing accomplishment. The girls are back in action Tuesday against the Geneva Eagles where they hope to come out with a win for their first home game of the season.
