Madison Bobcats lead the final home game on senior night against the Highland Rams this Friday. It was a close game, the final score was 18-15 Bobcats.
“Our goals for our offensive line were to try to get 200 yards rushing, keep our linebackers out of A-gaps, and run the ball really well,” Coach Justin Mumm said.
Madison started off the first quarter with a 21 yard run from Ryan Winfree(10) into the end-zone. The field goal kick from Andrew WIlliams(93) was missed. Highland scored 2 safety points, bringing the score to 6-2 Bobcats at the end of the first quarter.
Madison’s Ryan Winfree scored another touchdown in the second quarter. The two-point conversion from Easton Cordero(2) to Dawson Wills(4) was incomplete. Easton then ran a 1 yard touchdown in the third quarter and Andrew Williams’(93) kick to the field goal was blocked, bringing the score to 18-8 Bobcats.
“It’s hard sometimes to keep the energy going like sometimes, I’ll make a mistake I’ll throw an interception you know I gotta stay positive you know keep my team positive. Sometimes when I am down my line and my team they step it up and they help me,” Quarterback Easton Cordero said.
Highlands’ Kaleb Demuzio ran two yards into the end-zone for the touchdown. The field goal kick from Ian Hershey was fantastic. Madison was able to persevere and take the win with a final score of 18-15.
“We got one more regular season game against Thunder Ridge, and if we win we’ll be able to make it to the play-offs and then after that its elimination and we’ll go until we lose, but we’ll win it all,” Cordero said.
