Quote of the week

“The group has been on the varsity for two years now. They are seniors now and have been in our system. They have been in the weight room. The whole school is on the same page when it comes to that. Our coaching staff is all coming back and there is continuity there and that is important.”

~ Madison football coach Scott Gallagher
