FAST BREAK

Body
Both Madisonville basketball teams withdrew from their scheduled holiday break tournaments this week due to health and safety protocols. The men’s squad was scheduled to compete in the Houston County Tournament Tuesday through Thursday while the women's team was slated to compete in the Aggieland Classic Monday through Wednesday. Both teams defeated Aggieland Homeschool at MHS in standalone matchups Dec. 21 with the men’s team prevailing 53-32 and the women’s team earning a 45-31 victory. The current plan is for the men’s team to return to the court Jan. 4 at Wilmer-Hutchins and the women’s team to return to open district play at MHS against Mexia.
