GALA NETTLES Editor’s Note: “Opinions in this column are not representative of the views of The Madisonville Meteor.” 0xymoron. Opposites put together.
Despite multiple pundits picking them to lose by three or more scores, Madisonville was in control for the majority of Friday night’s 29-28 loss to defending 3A State Champion Malakoff. In fact, the Mustangs did not trail the Tigers until the waning seconds of the contest.
The Madisonville football team (2-1) returns home in week four to continue their stout non-district slate against the high-flying Columbus Cardinals (3-0). The matchup will highlight the school’s homecoming festivities and brings with it a special ambiance around the football program and Mustang community as a whole.
