Tatyana Brown, 5-1 8^th Grade Addi Bowling, and 5-5 So. McKenzie Clouse.

Madison Central lost a heart breaking 52-45 decision on the road in a game that had more twists and turns than a good mystery novel.  Madison Central opened up hot and led 15-6 in the first quarter and closed out the quarter with a 17-12 lead.  Lindsey Johns had 12 points in the quarter and Mallie Cornett blocked two shots.  Madison Central’s old nemesis came back to hurt them as Somerset recorded three treys in the first quarter.  Madison Central was clinging to a 20-17 lead with 5:17 to go in the half when Mallie Cornett picked up her second foul on what appeared to the visiting fans to be a clean block.  Cornett went to the bench and Somerset went on an 11-0 run to complete what was actually a 16-0 run to go from a 20-12 deficit to a 28-20 lead with 2:28 to go in the half.  The half ended with Somerset holding a 31-23 advantage.  Somerset’s Makaila Wilson led Somerset with 17 points including four three point baskets.

Madison Central continued to battle back and tied the game at 44-44 on a layup and free throw by Mallie Cornett with 3:13 left in the game.  Madison Central’s Charity Mack appeared to steal the ball on the next possession but the officials ruled she fouled in the attempt and Somerset got the ball.  The Briar Jumpers went on an 8-1 run to close out the game and secure the victory.  Despite some tough luck on close calls Madison Central battled back but gave up seven three point baskets and turned it over 15 times which proved to be too much to overcome tonight.
