Madison's season ended in a stinging 19-14 defeat at the hands of the South County Stallions in the first round of the playoffs Friday night at Madison High School.

Madison High earns late victory over Thomas Jefferson
After Thomas Jefferson High School kept them scoreless in the first half, the Madison High Warhawks found their footing to win this year's Homecoming game 17-3 on Friday night.
