Starting out Strong



The Boys Varsity basketball team is off to a great start this season. For their first game of the season, they faced the Geneva Eagles at Geneva. Prior to the game, most people believed that Madison would win, and after the big upset when we lost to Geneva during football season, everyone was ready for our boys to take the W. The boys came out strong with Alex Dragas scoring 26 points, 5 of those being 3’s, Chris Blauman scoring 18 points with 2 dunks, and Shane Gibson with 8 assists in his first Varsity start. Many students came out to support this game and have continued to do so with the following games. When asked about this game, Kate Kuntz said it was “a very aggressive and entertaining game to watch” and Chania Crawford said “there was lots of tension and the entire gym was very high energy”. After this win, Chris Blauman stated that “this game gave the team a lot of confidence and it was a very good way to start the season”. This confidence shows and is making everyone excited for the rest of the season. Lexi Fleischer said “I think the team has a lot of potential and even if it takes some time for them to grow together fully but I think that once they do they will go far.'' The next game is Friday, December 13th at Chardon at 7:30pm, come out and support if you can.
