M adison County celebrated homecom
ing night by remaining red-hot in
September.
The Raiders, who didn’t lose during the month,
built a 21-2 lead over Salem during the third quar
ter and held off the Seminoles for a huge 21-16
win Friday.
The victory, the Raiders’ fourth in a row, moved
Madison County’s record to 4-1 as the resurgent
Raiders remain tied for second in 8-AAAA.
“That’s huge, especially after the past couple of
years,” Madison County safety Bracken Turner
said. “Starting off 4-1 is something we needed.
It’s something the community needed. I think they
were starting to get down on Madison County
football a little bit.”
Kendrick Butler ran for 103 yards on just nine
carries in the win while quarterback Jacob Owens
had touchdown runs of 18 yards and one yard.
Stan Maxwell also threw a 14-yard touchdown
pass to Patrick McCrary as Madison County
ended a two-game losing streak to Salem.
The Raiders led 21-9 until the closing moments
of the game when the Seminoles threw a seven-
yard touchdown pass with 14 seconds left.
The Madison County defense held Salem to just
76 yards in the first two quarters as the Raiders
led 14-2 at the half. The turning point of the game
came in the third quarter when Salem drove to the
Madison County one-yard line where the Raiders
turned back the Seminoles with a goal line stand.
Madison County then moved 99 yards for a
touchdown, capped off by a one-yard plunge by
Owens to put the Raiders up 21-2.
“The goal line stand with as many snaps as we
took there, and the drive, as far back as we had
to go to get it done, it was special,” Raider coach
Randell Owens said.
Turner said he and a Raider assistant coach
Patrick McCrary catches his second touch
down pass of the year Friday as Madison
County beat Salem 21-16. Ben Munro/staff
were calling the defensive stop “probably the
biggest goal line stand in Madison County his
tory," noting that Salem ran six plays inside the
Madison County five but couldn’t score.
“That pretty much sealed it for us,” Turner said.
The Raiders ran for over 200 yards for the
third straight week, racking up 201 yards on the
ground.
Madison County now has its first four-game
winning streak since 2006 as it continues to
improve since a week one loss to Rockdale
County.
Turner said there's a lot of good chemistry on
the team right now with senior leaders stepping
up and younger players buying into what the vet
erans are saying.
“It’s become more and more of a brotherhood
now as the season goes on,” he said.
