MADISON – Not that top-ranked Madison High needed any extra advantages, but they took several away from visiting Southern Coffey County Friday nonetheless.
In a five-minute span in the first quarter, Madison recovered two Titan fumbles for touchdowns, a third on the SCC one-yard line and muffed kick at the Titan 10.
Add those up to Madison’s bruising ground attack and you have a 66-0 thumping.
The loss drops SCC to 3-5 on the season. They will host White City on Thursday. Madison, the state’s top Eight-Man Division I squad, improves to 8-0.
“We played hard,” Titan head coach Korey Lankton said. “We’re a little banged up right now and also had to make some personnel changes that meant some freshmen and sophomores were getting more playing time.
“You know you are going to make some mistakes with that much youth on the field, but a team like Madison really magnifies those kinds of growing pains,” he continued. “We just couldn’t get anything going at all offensively.”
Madison outgained Southern Coffey County 357 to 50, including 295 yards on the ground.
