TWO MINUTE DRILL ⏱️
Madison’s struggles during the past decade have been well documented, but officials feel second-year coach and Madison grad Kobi Johnson can return the once-proud program to its winning ways. The early returns have been favorable. … Johnson’s top priority is patching a porous defense that allowed 32 or more points in each of Madison’s seven losses last year. … The graduation of Kaleb Gordon leaves a significant hole in the offense. Gordon is playing at Walsh.
