MCHS Varsity Boys Basketball vs Chatham, State 2A Quarter Final at JMU
From MCHS Athletics: The Boys Basketball team beat a determined Chatham team this afternoon 61-47 in the VHSL Group 2A State 1/4 finals. Chatham led most of the game but Madison’s 3 seniors refused to let their season end early. With Madison trailing by 5 in the 4th quarter, it was Isaiah Breckenridge that came up with a huge steal to spark the comeback. From there, Dre Twyman and Isiah Smith took over and once the Mountaineers finally took the lead on a 3 pointer from Elijah Lewis they never looked back, out scoring Chatham 17-4 the rest of the way. Dre Twyman was the star of the night finishing with 18 points, 14 rebounds, 6 blocked shots and drawing 3 charges for the game. Isiah Smith scored 19 and Gaines Swink added 14 points. Kobi Alexander had 2 points but made his presence felt on the boards all night once again grabbing double digit rebounds. Madison will face Amelia County tomorrow afternoon at 4:15 at JMU in the semi-finals. Amelia defeated Richlands in their 1/4 final game. This one promises to be a thriller since Madison beat Amelia in overtime last week in the Region semifinals.
