 "It’s a tough game for us today. I thought we had game planned well. We came out knowing what we wanted to do. (Madison) is a good team, they’re the best 4-6 team in the state. We had to be about the little things today and we weren’t. We didn’t slide well defensively and offensively we didn’t get any flow going,” said Head Coach  Bill McCutcheon
