Raiders’ Davis scores 21,
but Elbert County wins
By Ben Munro

Reterrium Davis hit four three pointers and
scored 21 points, but his performance wasn’t
enough to carry Madison County past Elbert
County last Tuesday on the final day of the Hart
County holiday tournament.
The Raiders fell 64-57, their sixth loss in seven
games at that point.
Patrick McCrary added 16 points and Bradley
Raines scored 13.
Though the Raiders had three scorers reach
double figures, the rest of the team accounted for
just seven points as Madison County missed an
opportunity to climb back above the .500 mark.
Thanks in part to three early three-pointers from
Davis, Madison County led for most of the first
half before Elbert County rallied to tie the game at
28 at intermission.
Back-to-back three-pointers from Raines put the
Raiders back on top 42-35 with four minutes left
in the third quarter, but Madison County scored
just five points over the next six and a half min
utes. That offensive lapse allowed Elbert County
to surge ahead for good.
The Raiders were out-rebounded 51-40 and left
too many point on the floor, missing all but four of
their free throw attempts (14-of-18).
Madison County finished 1-2 in the Hart
County holiday tournament, losing to Hart County
and beating Stephens County before playing
Elbert County.

Lady Raiders put
away pesky Stephens
By Ben Munro

Madison County survived its
Hart County holiday tournament
finale, downing Stephens County
51-44 last Tuesday.
The Lady Raiders watched a
15-point second half lead dwindle
but were able to hold off the Lady
Indians late for their 10 th win of
the year.
Courtney Freeman scored 16
points and Lauren Smith added
11 to make sure Madison County
didn’t go winless in the Hart
County tournament.
After a 29-point drubbing by
Dillard High School of Florida
the night before, Madison
County came out sluggish against
Stephens County, a state tourna
ment team in Class AAA last year.
The Lady Raiders trailed 11-10
in the first quarter before surging
ahead before halftime, 27-16.
Madison County appeared ready
to put Stephens County away in
the second half, producing six
straight defensive stops to start the
third quarter and building a 31-16
edge.
But Stephens County hung
around.
The Lady Indians, who had just
two losses on the year, chopped
the lead to 45-39 with two min
utes left and 4844 with 28 sec
onds remaining.
However, Madison County hit
three of four three throws down
the stretch to hang on for the vic
tory.
Kayla Freeman added nine
points in the win and Haley
Peeples threw in eight.
The Lady Raiders finished the
tournament at 1-1, taking third
place.

11 and Shantydra Arnold finished with 10, all of
which came in the third quarter.
Not only did Courtney Freeman dominate in the
score book, she had a huge night on the boards with
11 rebounds.
“She worked over the offensive boards hard,”
Lampe said. “And the defensive boards, she
took control of (them). She really dominated the
boards.”
