BY RICHARD SIRMAN richard.sirman@madisonvillemeteor.com Junior Red, Junior Blue Varsity, and Varsity teams of Mustangs football had a Friday scrimmage last week in Groesbeck to mark the season's beginning. In contrast, the Volleyball teams had their second matches of the season.

Madisonville High School began its practice runs for Football, Volleyball, and Band on Monday, August 1. Starting a new sports season is enough to spark excitement in most towns, but the most important people during this time are the students and the coaches.

Several Madisonville baseball players were singled out for their selection to the 18-4A All-District squad as a result of their efforts during the 2022 season. “I believe that earning such achievements means that these student athletes have worked hard throughout the season, and I feel that it shows that our program is moving forward, and other teams understand that we are very competitive and getting better every year,” said Madisonville head coach Adam Borgfeld on the selections.

The Madisonville High School basketball program held a camp for local youth last week at the main gym at MHS. The camp focused on fundamentals and prepared the young Mustangs for what they will see as they progress through the program under head coach Brad Taylor.
