Reterrium Davis scored 21 points in Madison Comity’s 64-57 loss to Elbert County last Tuesday in Hart County’s holiday tournament. Ben Munro/staff Raiders’ Davis scores 21, but Elbert County wins By Ben Munro ben@mainstreetnews.com 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.

Ben Munro/staff Lady Raiders put away pesky Stephens By Ben Munro ben@mainstreetnews.com 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.

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.
