Girls basketball team wins Christmas Classic
The Madison County High School
girls basketball team won both of their
tournament games over the weekend
to be crowned champions of the Red
Raider Christmas Classic.
The team won the first game of the
tournament on Dec. 20, in a decisive
67-37 victory over Pendleton. The Lady
Raiders were maintained firm control
of the game through all four quarters on
their way to a comfortable win.
They then took on the Winder-Bar
row Bulldoggs the following night on
Dec. 21 in the final round of the tour
nament.
Madison County jumped out to an
early 28-12 lead after the first half, and
then was able to fend off a late resur
gence from the Bulldoggs to hold on
for a 38-30 win, and got to hoist the
Red Raider Christmas Classic trophy in
front of the home crowd.
After a brief holiday break, the Lady
Raiders will travel to Gatlinburg,
Tennessee, to take part in the Smoky
Mountain Winter Classic.
Their first game of the tournament
will be against the 6-2 Warren East
Raiders, from Bowling Green, Ken
tucky, on Dec. 26.
Depending on the results of that
game, the Lady Raiders could then play
in subsequent rounds against to-be-an
nounced opponents on Dec. 27 and 28.
