It was a
muddy night in Louisiana when Madison Prep Chargers took on the Booker T
Washington Lions. Tonight’s matchup was a quarterfinal game. This game had some
of the more talented teams in the state
Madison seemed
determined to establish the run early, they would feed the ball to their running
back, or their quarterback was also a threat to run the ball. In their first
offensive drive, they were able to put together a strong offensive showing,
scoring to take an early 7-0 lead. Their spread offense was effective
throughout the game, and after establishing the run they found some success through
the air later in the game. Booker T also favored the run, though they focused more
on the quarterback’s ability to run. Booker
T was able to find the endzone twice early in the game and were able to capitalize
on big plays and finishing drives. The first half ended 10-20 Booker T, they
seemed to be in control scoring finishing the half with a touchdown, and a 10-point
lead. In the first half, it seemed like Booker T was on the verge of taking
over the game and had all the momentum in their favor. Once the second half
kicked off it was all Madison Prep. Within a minute of the 3rd
quarter kicking off, Madison Prep scored twice. They broke off a big run on the
opening drive, and defensively they blocked a punt and recovered it in the endzone,
retaking the lead 24-20. In the 3rd quarter alone, Madison Prep found
the endzone three times. Madison Prep dominated the rest of the game, they did
not allow Booker T to score and scored two more touchdowns of their own.
Including a screen pass for 20 yards. Defensively they started to bring more
pressure on the Booker T offense, and it bothered them throughout the second
half and they only had a few sustained drives. The game ended 20-38 Madison
Prep, who moves on to play Union Parish next week.
