Athens News Courier: Madison Academy (3-2, 2-0) at Elkmont (1-4, 1-2)
7 p.m., Boss Hill Stadium
Preview: Although its record won’t show it, Madison Academy might be the best team in Class 3A. The Mustangs only losses have come against the top team in 2A (Tanner) and a top 10 5A team (Cullman). Running back Kerryon Johnson is a threat to score every time he touches the ball for Madison Academy. Elkmont will have to focus on Johnson while hoping the Mustangs’ other weapons don’t kill them. These teams met in the second round of the playoff last season.
Series record: Madison Academy leads 14-9
Last year: Madison County won 42-0 in the 2nd round of the playoffs
News Courier prediction: Madison Academy 35, Elkmont 14
